Abstract:
A thin film production method according to one embodiment includes: a coating film forming step of forming a coating film by discharging a coating liquid on a support from first to M-th line heads (M is 2 or larger and N or smaller) while allowing the support to pass through N line heads once; and a drying step of obtaining a thin film by drying the coating film. A thin film forming nozzle hole  28  of the m-th line head (m is 2 or larger and M or smaller) is arranged to be positioned between adjacent thin film forming nozzle holes in an (m−1)-th thin film forming nozzle hole array Q m-1 . Every time the first line head discharges the coating liquid, the m-th line head applies the coating liquid onto the support at a predetermined delay time with respect to a discharge time of the first line head. The first to M-th line heads discharge the coating liquid from the film forming nozzle hole selected in accordance with a shape of a thin film formation region onto the support.

Claim (Index 10):
The thin film production method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n each of the first to M-th line heads includes a plurality of nozzle heads, each of the nozzle heads has a plurality of nozzle holes arranged at a predetermined interval in the support width direction, at least some of all the plurality of nozzle holes included in the plurality of nozzle heads are the plurality of thin film forming nozzle holes, in each of the first to M-th line heads, adjacent nozzle heads among the plurality of nozzle heads are arranged so as to partially overlap with each other as viewed from the conveying direction, and the plurality of nozzle heads, included in each of adjacent line heads among the first to M-th line heads, are arranged such that an overlapping region of the adjacent nozzle heads in an upstream line head of the adjacent line heads in the conveying direction and an overlapping region of the adjacent nozzle heads in a downstream line head do not overlap with each other as viewed from the conveying direction.
