Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a flexible transfer body employing curable resin as a transfer material, comprising the steps of: coating liquid curable resin onto a rotation center or the vicinity of the rotation center of a mold, which is a rotator having a functional form on a surface thereof; bringing a flexible film with a thickness ranging from 30 to 300 μm into contact with a surface of the coated curable resin in a liquid state and subsequently spreading the curable resin to the circumferential edge of the mold by a centrifugal force; adhering a protection film to a surface of the flexible film opposite to a surface of the flexible film that is brought into contact with the curable resin in a liquid state; causing the flexible film to have a concave or U-shaped form in an edge-on view when adhering the protection film to the surface of the flexible film, by a compressive stress applied from the protection film to the flexible film; and curing the curable resin by supplying chemical or thermal energy thereto and separating the curable resin from the mold, thereby obtaining a flexible transfer body in which the curable resin is transferred to the film.
