Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), a diameter-enlarging nozzle 32 may be used in which the diameter of the flow path 3a is once narrowed and then the diameter is expanded. With such a shape, the extrusion diameter of the thermoplastic resin can be reduced, so that the configuration of the entire apparatus can be made more compact.

It is possible to obtain a film having a small, uniform and flat surface.
- the above-described core member 2, second core member 4b, and outer member 5 can each be made of a porous material. If each of the above members is made of a porous material, a uniform gas seepage state can be achieved over the entire surface of each member, so that there is almost no local variation in the amount of gas seeping out.

Within such a range, the orientation in the tubular resin film 20 is efficiently performed, and a significant phase difference can be developed. If the stretching temperature is lower than T g, a strong stress must be applied to the film for stretching, and the film may be broken.
