Abstract:
A method of coating, at a regular flow rate, a plurality of coating solutions onto a base member by a coater, thereby to form simultaneously a plurality of layers on said base member while conveying said base member along a path, said base member having a starting point from which said coating onto said base member starts, said method comprisingfeeding at least one of said plurality of coating solutions to said coater at a first flow rate so as to discharge at least one of said plurality of coating solutions through said coater at said first flow rate,changing, without interruption in flow, said first flow rate to a second flow rate, which is less than said first flow rate, so as to discharge said at least one of said plurality of coating solutions through said coater at said second flow rate;changing said second flow rate to said regular flow rate so as to coat said at least one of said plurality of coating solutions onto said base member at said regular flow rate in accordance with a conveyed position of said starting point which is being conveyed along said path to said coater, said second flow rate being greater than zero and less than said regular flow rate.
