Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for forming a protective film on a disc-shaped recording medium including providing a turntable having a center aperture, setting the disc-shaped recording medium having a center opening on the turntable with the center opening being aligned with the center aperture, covering at least the center opening of the disc-shaped recording medium with a rotating disc having a portion larger in diameter than the center opening of the disc-shaped recording medium, and supplying a protective film material to the center of the rotating disc and simultaneously rotating the turntable, the disc-shaped recording medium, and the disc to cause an outward radial flow of the protective film material off the disc and onto the disc-shaped recording medium so that the protective film is obtained and has a thickness with a small variation.
