Abstract

There is provided a method of manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium, with which a tape-like pattern medium with improved mechanical strength is manufactured. Said method of manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium comprises a coating step of forming an ultraviolet curing resin layer ( 2 ) by coating a film substrate ( 3 ) surface with an ultraviolet curing resin containing a photopolymerization initiator that absorbs ultraviolet rays of a wavelength that will pass through the film substrate ( 3 ), a pattern formation step of bringing the ultraviolet curing resin layer ( 2 ) into close contact with a roll-shaped master stamper ( 10 ) and forming a texture pattern ( 5 ) corresponding to a texture pattern ( 101 ) of the master stamper ( 10 ) in the ultraviolet curing resin layer ( 2 ), and an irradiation step of curing the ultraviolet curing resin layer ( 2 ) by irradiating the ultraviolet curing resin layer ( 2 ) in which the texture pattern ( 5 ) has been formed with ultraviolet rays in a state in which the surrounding oxygen has been removed.

Claims (21)

1 . A method of manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium, comprising:

a coating step of forming an ultraviolet curing resin layer by coating a film substrate surface with an ultraviolet curing resin containing a photopolymerization initiator that absorbs ultraviolet rays of a wavelength that will pass through the film substrate;

a pattern formation step of bringing the ultraviolet curing resin layer into close contact with a roll-shaped master stamper and forming a texture pattern corresponding to a texture pattern of the master stamper in the ultraviolet curing resin layer; and

an irradiation step of curing the ultraviolet curing resin layer by irradiating the ultraviolet curing resin layer in which the texture pattern has been formed with the ultraviolet rays in a state in which the surrounding oxygen has been removed.

2 . The method of manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium according to claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet curing resin includes an acrylic ester monomer and/or an acrylic ester oligomer.

3 . The method of manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the ultraviolet curing resin layer in a state of being in close contact with the master stamper is no more than 1.0 μm.

4 . A tape-like pattern medium, comprising:

a film substrate; and

a pattern resin layer that is provided to a surface of a film substrate and on which is formed a texture pattern corresponding to a texture pattern of a master stamper,

wherein the pattern resin layer is formed by an ultraviolet curing resin containing a photopolymerization initiator that absorbs ultraviolet rays of a wavelength that will pass through the film substrate, and

the thickness of the ultraviolet curing resin layer is no more than 1.0 μm.

5 . The tape-like pattern medium according to claim 4 , wherein the ultraviolet curing resin includes an acrylic ester monomer and/or an acrylic ester oligomer.

6 . A device for manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium, comprising:

a conveyor for conveying a film substrate;

a coating component for forming an ultraviolet curing resin layer by coating a surface of a conveyed film substrate with an ultraviolet curing resin containing a photopolymerization initiator that absorbs ultraviolet rays of a wavelength that will pass through the film substrate;

a roll-shaped master stamper having a texture pattern on its surface;

a close contact state formation component for forming a close contact state in which a film substrate on which the ultraviolet curing resin layer has been formed is brought into close contact with the roll-shaped master stamper in order to form a texture pattern corresponding to a texture pattern of the master stamper on the ultraviolet curing resin layer;

an irradiation component for curing the ultraviolet curing resin layer by irradiating the ultraviolet curing resin layer in close contact with the master stamper with the ultraviolet rays; and

an oxygen removal component for removing oxygen from the region where the ultraviolet curing resin layer is irradiated with the ultraviolet rays.

7 . The device for manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium according to claim 6 , wherein the ultraviolet curing resin includes an acrylic ester monomer and/or an acrylic ester oligomer.

8 . The device for manufacturing a tape-like pattern medium according to claim 6 , wherein the thickness of the ultraviolet curing resin layer in a state of being in close contact with the master stamper is no more than 1.0 μm.
