Abstract
A vapor deposition devicefor moving a sheet-like substratein a roll-to-roll system in a chamberto continuously form a vapor deposition film on the substrate. The vapor deposition devicecomprises an evaporation sourcefor evaporating a vapor-depositing material; a transportation section including first and second rollsandfor holding the substratein the state of being wound therearound and a guide section for guiding the substrate; and a shielding section, located in a vapor deposition possible zone, for forming a shielded zone which is not reachable by the vapor-depositing material from the evaporation source. Vapor deposition zonesthroughinclude a planar transportation zone for transporting the substratesuch that the surface of the substrateto be subjected to the vapor-depositing material is planar; and the transportation section is located with respect to the evaporation sourcesuch that the vapor-depositing material is not incident on the substratein a direction of the normal to the substrate in the vapor deposition possible zone excluding the shielded zone.
