1. A coating die used to apply a coating material onto a material to be coated, the coating die comprising:
a manifold that temporarily stores the coating material;
a supply port through which the coating material is supplied from the outside to the manifold;
a discharge port through which the coating material is discharged from the manifold toward the material to be coated;
a supply passage that connects the supply port and the manifold; and
a discharge passage that connects the manifold and the discharge port, wherein
the manifold, the discharge passage, and the discharge port are longer in a first direction that intersects a discharge direction of the coating material from the discharge port,
an outline of the manifold viewed from a second direction that intersects the discharge direction and the first direction includes a first outline part to which the discharge passage is connected and also includes a second outline part located opposite the first outline part,
the second outline part includes, in an end region in the first direction, a first taper part tilted to be closer to the first outline part toward an end of the manifold in the first direction,
when the dimension in the first direction from a connection part at which the supply passage is connected in the manifold to the end is set to 1, dimension ratio of the first taper part in the first direction is 0.4 or less,
the dimension ratio is in a range of 0.25 to 0.4, both 0.25 and 0.4 being inclusive,
the supply passage and the discharge passage are arranged such that the manifold is located therebetween and are connected to the manifold such as to be shifted from each other in the second direction,
an outline of the manifold viewed from the first direction includes a curved part that forms a convex in a direction away from the center of the manifold, at least in a region that intersects an extended line of the supply passage,
an opening of the supply passage to the manifold is located opposite the curved part,
an outline of the manifold viewed from the discharge direction includes a third outline part and a fourth outline part located opposite to each other in the second direction, and
at least one of the third outline part or the fourth outline part and a connection part at which the discharge passage is connected in the manifold are shifted from each other in the second direction, and, in an end region in the first direction, a second taper part is provided such as to be tilted to be closer to the connection part at which the discharge passage is connected in the manifold, toward an end of the manifold in the first direction,
the manifold includes, at each end in the first direction, a shape of a truncated cone longitudinally split and horizontally laid, which is obtained by combining the first taper part, the curved part, and the second taper part, and the manifold further includes, in a middle part in a first direction, a shape of a cylinder longitudinally split and horizontally laid, which is constituted by the curved part, and
the shape of each end along the first direction of the manifold is a semicircular shape.
