Abstract

A method of film fabrication is taught that uses a coating and drying apparatus to fabricate resin films suitable for optical applications. In particular, acrylic films are prepared by simultaneous application of multiple liquid layers to a moving carrier substrate. After solvent removal, the acrylic films are peeled from the sacrificial carrier substrate. Acrylic films prepared by the current invention exhibit good clarity and low birefringence.
