[Prior Art] When a film is formed on a glass substrate, a coating liquid for forming a coating film is applied, and dried (baked) to form a coating film. The coating device disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 6 is known as a coating device to be used at this time. In the coating apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1, a rail is provided on both sides of a base, and a moving table is attached to the rails, and a slit nozzle is attached to the moving body through the lift cylinder. The coating device disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a U-shaped frame that is placed on a glass substrate, and has a U-shaped frame that is open above the stage from below, and a slit is attached between the upper ends of the U-shaped frame. nozzle. This prior art does not disclose a mechanism for lifting a narrow slit nozzle. In the coating apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 3, rails are provided on both sides of the base for mounting the glass substrate, and the pillars of the gate type are movably engaged with the rails, and the mold (narrow nozzle) is attached to the upper portion of the pillars. The lifting section provided by the center. The coating apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 4 is the same as the configuration of Patent Document 3, but the narrow slit nozzle is attached to the support member which is a gate type through the fixing member, and the slit nozzle lifting mechanism is not disclosed. In the coating apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 5, two slit nozzles are disposed above a stage on which the ball screw is moved to move from -5 to 200815, and two glass substrates are placed on the stage at intervals. By using the above two narrow slit nozzles, two glass substrates are simultaneously sprayed, thereby saving time compared to spraying with one nozzle. In the coating apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 6, a substrate mounting platform is disposed between a pair of rails, a gate type moving mechanism is disposed between the pair of rails, and a Z-axis (up and down direction) motor is mounted on the gate type moving mechanism. Driven narrow slit nozzle. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. JP-A No. JP-A No. JP-A No. Hei. [Patent Document 5] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 2002-1 40. In the prior art documents of Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 6, the state of the prior art document having the mechanism for elevating the slit nozzle is that the center of gravity of the motor or cylinder for constituting the elevating mechanism is located further than the center of gravity of the slit nozzle. Upper position. Therefore, when the slit nozzle moves in the horizontal direction, the position of the center of gravity of the door type moving mechanism or the like becomes high, causing longitudinal vibration, resulting in unstable spraying and a problem that a uniform film thickness cannot be obtained. 200815929 [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method in which a movable body is disposed to be movable along both sides of a substrate mounting platform, so that the slit nozzle can be lifted and held in the movable body. In the apparatus, the driving body is provided with a driving device that allows the slit nozzle to be raised and lowered, and the center of gravity of the driving device is set to be lower than the center of gravity of the slit nozzle. The above-mentioned moving body may be of a gate type, but the weight is increased when it is a door type. Therefore, it is preferable that a moving body is attached to each of the rails, and it is preferable that the slit nozzles are supported between the moving bodies so as to be movable up and down. In this case, if only one of the moving bodies is provided with a driving device, the slit nozzle is likely to be skewed during lifting, and therefore it is preferable to use a driving device in which a motor or a cylinder unit is attached to each moving body. [Effect of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to maintain a low center of gravity when the slit nozzle and the moving body move together, so that generation of longitudinal vibration can be suppressed, so that stable spraying can be performed. [Embodiment] BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 2 is a side view of a coating apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a principal part of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a driving device, and FIG. 4 is a view of an arrow direction A of FIG. The arrow direction B view for the 3rd figure. 200815929 The coating apparatus fixes the stage 2 on which the substrate W is placed on the base 1, and the movable bodies 3 and 3 are arranged in the horizontal direction along the both sides of the stage 2 (the first drawing surface is vertical) Direction) move. In the present embodiment, the moving body 3 is driven by a linear motor. That is, the rails 4, 4 are provided on the side frames of the stage 2, the guides 5 of the moving body 3 are engaged with the rails 4, and the stator 6 of the linear motor is arranged parallel to the rails 4, A linear motor mover 7 that maintains a predetermined interval with the stator 6 is attached to the movable body 3, and a gap is formed between the rail 4 and the guide 5 by an air cushion. A guide rail 8 in the vertical direction is provided on the upper portion of the movable body 3, and the support body 9 is movably and detachably engaged with the guide rail 8, and a slit nozzle 1 is attached between the left and right support members 9, 9. Further, a driving device 11 for moving the support body 9 up and down is attached to each of the moving bodies. The driving device 11 includes a motor 12 fixed to the side surface of the moving body 3, a screw shaft 13 that is rotated by the motor 12, and a screw that is engaged with the screw shaft 13 while being screwed up and down according to the rotation of the screw shaft 13. Cap member 14. Next, a part of the nut member 14 is attached to the support body 9, and the support member 9 and the slit nozzle 10 are moved up and down by the upper and lower bolting of the nut member 14. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, the upper and lower limits of the lifting and lowering movement of the support body 9 are caused by the operation pieces 14a attached to the nut member 14 abutting on the limit switches 8a, 8b attached to the left and right guide rails 8, Decide. Here, among the members constituting the driving device 1 1, the motor 12 is the heaviest, and therefore the motor 12 is disposed at a position lower than the slit nozzle 10 -8 - 200815929. As a result, the center of gravity G1 of the drive unit 1 is positioned lower than the weight of the nozzle 1 (correctly, the slit nozzle 1 and the support 9). In the above configuration, when the coating liquid is applied to the glass substrate placed on the stage 2, the slit device 10 is lowered by the driving device 11 to the lower end of the narrow nozzle 10 and the space above the glass substrate W is designated. At the same time, the coating liquid is ejected from the slit nozzle 1 to the surface of the substrate W, and the left and right moving bodies 3 and 3 are synchronously moved by the line, whereby a coating film having a uniform thickness is formed on the substrate w. At this time, since the center of gravity G1 of the drive unit 1 is located at a position lower than the center of gravity G2 of the slit 10, it is possible to suppress longitudinal vibration (up and down movement) which occurs when the movable body 3 moves in the horizontal direction along the paths 4 and 4. In the example, the individual movable bodies 3 and 3 are disposed on both sides of the stage 2, but the shape of the moving body may be formed as a single door type. In addition, even in this situation, the linear motor needs to be set to avoid skewing of the door type moving body. [Industrial Applicability] The coating device of the present invention can be used as a coating device for forming a glass substrate coating film incorporated in various displays.
