Abstract

A coating method includes: forming multiple through holes in a coating film including a support sheet and a transfer layer on the support sheet, the multiple through holes passing through only the transfer layer; after the forming of the multiple through holes, disposing the coating film so that the transfer layer faces a surface of a target object; pressing the coating film against the surface of the target object from a side of the support sheet so that the transfer layer is transferred to the surface of the target object; and, after the pressing, peeling off the support sheet from the transfer layer.

Claims

1. A coating method comprising:

forming multiple through holes in a coating film including a support sheet and a transfer layer on the support sheet, the multiple through holes passing through only the transfer layer;

after the forming the multiple through holes, disposing the coating film so that the transfer layer faces a surface of a target object;

pressing the coating film against the surface of the target object from a side of the support sheet so that the transfer layer is transferred to the surface of the target object; and

after the pressing, peeling off the support sheet from the transfer layer.

2. The coating method according to claim 1, wherein

in the forming the multiple through holes,

an up-down direction on a surface of the transfer layer is determined, and

the multiple through holes are formed so that the multiple through holes are arranged at intervals along the up-down direction to form multiple columns, and the through holes in any column are shifted in the up-down direction with respect to the through holes in an adjacent column.

3. A coating film comprising:

a support sheet; and

a transfer layer peelably supported by the support sheet, wherein

the transfer layer includes multiple through holes, and

the multiple through holes are arranged so that the multiple through holes are arranged at intervals along a predetermined up-down direction to form multiple columns, and the through holes in any column are shifted in the up-down direction with respect to the through holes in an adjacent column.
