Description

本発明は、光学表示部品に光学部材を貼合してなる光学部材貼合体の製造装置及び製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method for an optical member bonded body formed by bonding an optical member to an optical display component.

従来、液晶ディスプレイ等の光学表示デバイスの生産システムにおいて、液晶パネル(光学表示部品)に貼合する偏光板等の光学部材は、長尺フィルムから液晶パネルの表示領域に合わせたサイズのシート片に切り出された後、液晶パネルに貼合されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, in a production system for an optical display device such as a liquid crystal display, an optical member such as a polarizing plate to be bonded to a liquid crystal panel (optical display component) is formed from a long film into a sheet piece having a size matching the display area of the liquid crystal panel.

図1を参照し、第二アライメント装置14は、表示領域P4の短辺と略平行に搬送されていた第一片面貼合パネルP11が、表示領域P4の長辺と略平行に搬送されるように方向転換する。なお、前記方向転換は、第一光学部材シートF1の光軸方向に対して、液晶パネルPに貼合する他の光学部材シートの光学軸方向が直角に配置される場合になされる。   Referring to FIG. 1, the second alignment device 14 is configured so that the first single-sided bonding panel P11 that has been transported substantially parallel to the short side of the display region P4 is transported substantially parallel to the long side of the display region P4.

Paste the backlight side. The 2nd bonding apparatus 15 conveys the 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 along the longitudinal direction, unwinding the 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 from the 2nd original fabric roll R2 which wound the 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2.

搬送装置15aは、第二光学部材シートF2を巻回した第二原反ロールR2を保持すると共に第二光学部材シートF2をその長手方向に沿って繰り出すロール保持部15cと、挟圧ロール15bよりもパネル搬送下流側に位置する第二切断装置16を経た第二光学部材シートF2の余剰部分を回収する第二回収部15dとを有する。   The transport device 15a includes a roll holding unit 15c that holds the second original roll R2 around which the second optical member sheet F2 is wound, and that feeds the second optical member sheet F2 along its longitudinal direction, and a pressure roll 15b. And a second recovery part 15d for recovering an excess portion of the second optical member sheet F2 that has passed through the second cutting device 16 located on the downstream side of the panel conveyance.

挟圧ロール15bは、互いに軸方向を平行にして配置された一対の貼合ローラを有する。一対の貼合ローラ間には所定の間隙が形成され、この間隙内が第二貼合装置15の貼合位置となる。前記間隙内には、第一片面貼合パネルP11及び第二光学部材シートF2が重なり合って導入される。これら第一片面貼合パネルP11及び第二光学部材シートF2が、前記貼合ローラ間で挟圧されつつパネル搬送下流側に送り出される。これにより、複数の第一片面貼合パネルP11を所定の間隔を空けつつ長尺の第二光学部材シートF2の下面に連続的に貼合した第二貼合シートF22が形成される。   The pinching roll 15b has a pair of bonding rollers arranged with the axial directions parallel to each other. A predetermined gap is formed between the pair of bonding rollers, and the inside of this gap is the bonding position of the second bonding apparatus 15. The first single-sided bonding panel P11 and the second optical member sheet F2 are overlapped and introduced into the gap. These 1st single-sided bonding panels P11 and the 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 are sent out to a panel conveyance downstream, being pinched between the said bonding rollers. Thereby, the 2nd bonding sheet | seat F22 which bonded the several 1st single-sided bonding panel P11 continuously on the lower surface of the elongate 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 is formed, keeping predetermined space | interval.

図2,5を併せて参照し、第二切断装置16は挟圧ロール15bよりもパネル搬送下流側に位置し、第二光学部材シートF2とその下面に貼合した第一片面貼合パネルP11の第一光学部材シートF1のシート片F1Sとを同時に切断する。第二切断装置16は例えばCO2レーザーカッターであり、第二光学部材シートF2と第一光学部材シートF1のシート片F1Sとを表示領域P4の外周縁に沿って、後述する額縁部Gの幅内で無端状に切断する。各光学部材シートF1,F2を液晶パネルPに貼合した後にまとめてカットすることで、各光学部材シートF1,F2の光学軸方向の精度が高まると共に、各光学部材シートF1,F2間の光学軸方向のズレが無くなり、かつ第一切断装置13での切断が簡素化される。   2 and 5 together, the second cutting device 16 is located on the panel transport downstream side of the pinching roll 15b, and the first single-sided bonding panel P11 bonded to the second optical member sheet F2 and its lower surface. The first optical member sheet F1 and the sheet piece F1S are simultaneously cut. The second cutting device 16 is, for example, a CO2 laser cutter, and the second optical member sheet F2 and the sheet piece F1S of the first optical member sheet F1 are arranged within the width of the frame portion G to be described later along the outer peripheral edge of the display region P4. To cut endlessly. By cutting the optical member sheets F1 and F2 together after being bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, the accuracy in the optical axis direction of the optical member sheets F1 and F2 is increased, and the opticalness between the optical member sheets F1 and F2 is increased. The axial displacement is eliminated, and the cutting with the first cutting device 13 is simplified.

第二切断装置16の切断により、液晶パネルPの上面に第一及び第二光学部材F11,F12が重ねて貼合された第二片面貼合パネルP12が形成される(図7参照)。またこのとき、図2に示すように、第二片面貼合パネルP12と、表示領域P4との対向部分(各光学部材F11,F12)が切り取られて枠状に残る各光学部材シートF1,F2の余剰部分Y,Y’とが分離される。第二光学部材シートF2の余剰部分Yは複数連なって梯子状をなし、この余剰部分Yが第一光学部材シートF1の余剰部分Y’と共に第二回収部15dに巻き取られる。   By the cutting | disconnection of the 2nd cutting device 16, the 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 by which the 1st and 2nd optical members F11 and F12 were accumulated and bonded on the upper surface of liquid crystal panel P is formed (refer FIG. 7). Moreover, at this time, as shown in FIG. 2, each optical member sheet | seat F1, F2 which the opposing part (each optical member F11, F12) of the 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 and the display area P4 is cut off, and remains in frame shape. Are separated from the surplus portions Y and Y ′. A plurality of surplus portions Y of the second optical member sheet F2 are connected in a ladder shape, and the surplus portions Y are wound around the second recovery portion 15d together with the surplus portions Y 'of the first optical member sheet F1.

図1を参照し、第三アライメント装置17は、液晶パネルPのバックライト側を上面にした第二片面貼合パネルP12を表裏反転させて液晶パネルPの表示面側を上面にすると共に、前記第一及び第二アライメント装置11,14と同様のアライメントを行う。すなわち、第三アライメント装置17は、制御装置20に記憶された光学軸方向の検査データ及び前記カメラCの撮像データに基づき、第三貼合装置18に対する第二片面貼合パネルP12の部品幅方向での位置決め及び回転方向での位置決めを行う。この状態で、第二片面貼合パネルP12が第三貼合装置18の貼合位置に導入される。   Referring to FIG. 1, the third alignment device 17 reverses the second single-sided bonding panel P12 with the backlight side of the liquid crystal panel P as the upper surface so that the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P is the upper surface. The same alignment as that of the first and second alignment devices 11 and 14 is performed. That is, the third alignment device 17 is based on the inspection data in the optical axis direction stored in the control device 20 and the imaging data of the camera C, and the component width direction of the second single-sided bonding panel P12 with respect to the third bonding device 18. And positioning in the rotation direction. In this state, the second single-sided bonding panel P <b> 12 is introduced into the bonding position of the third bonding device 18.

第三貼合装置18は、貼合位置に導入された長尺の第三光学部材シートF3の下面に対して、その下方を搬送される第二片面貼合パネルP12の上面(液晶パネルPの表示面側)を貼合する。第三貼合装置18は、第三光学部材シートF3を巻回した第三原反ロールR3から第三光学部材シートF3を巻き出しつつ第三光学部材シートF3をその長手方向に沿って搬送する搬送装置18aと、搬送装置18aが搬送する第三光学部材シートF3の下面にローラコンベヤ5が搬送する第二片面貼合パネルP12の上面を貼合する挟圧ロール18bとを備える。   The 3rd bonding apparatus 18 is a lower surface of the elongate 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 introduce | transduced into the bonding position, The upper surface (of liquid crystal panel P of 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 conveyed below that) Adhere the display surface side). The 3rd bonding apparatus 18 conveys the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 along the longitudinal direction, unwinding the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 from the 3rd original fabric roll R3 which wound the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3. The conveyance apparatus 18a and the pinching roll 18b which bonds the upper surface of the 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 which the roller conveyor 5 conveys to the lower surface of the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 which the conveyance apparatus 18a conveys are provided.

搬送装置18aは、第三光学部材シートF3を巻回した第三原反ロールR3を保持すると共に第三光学部材シートF3をその長手方向に沿って繰り出すロール保持部18cと、挟圧ロール18bよりもパネル搬送下流側に位置する第三切断装置19を経た第三光学部材シートF3の余剰部分を回収する第三回収部18dとを有する。   The transport device 18a includes a roll holding unit 18c that holds the third original roll R3 around which the third optical member sheet F3 is wound, and that feeds the third optical member sheet F3 along its longitudinal direction, and a pressure roll 18b. And a third recovery part 18d that recovers an excess portion of the third optical member sheet F3 that has passed through the third cutting device 19 located on the downstream side of the panel conveyance.

挟圧ロール18bは、互いに軸方向を平行にして配置された一対の貼合ローラを有する。一対の貼合ローラ間には所定の間隙が形成され、この間隙内が第三貼合装置18の貼合位置となる。前記間隙内には、第二片面貼合パネルP12及び第三光学部材シートF3が重なり合って導入される。これら第二片面貼合パネルP12及び第三光学部材シートF3が、前記貼合ローラ間で挟圧されつつパネル搬送下流側に送り出される。これにより、複数の第二片面貼合パネルP12を所定の間隔を空けつつ長尺の第三光学部材シートF3の下面に連続的に貼合した第三貼合シートF23が形成される。   The pinching roll 18b has a pair of pasting rollers arranged with their axial directions parallel to each other. A predetermined gap is formed between the pair of bonding rollers, and the gap is the bonding position of the third bonding device 18. In the gap, the second single-sided bonding panel P12 and the third optical member sheet F3 are overlapped and introduced. These 2nd single-sided bonding panels P12 and the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 are sent out to a panel conveyance downstream, being pinched between the said bonding rollers. Thereby, the 3rd bonding sheet | seat F23 which bonded continuously the several 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 on the lower surface of the elongate 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3 is formed at predetermined intervals.

第三切断装置19は挟圧ロール18bよりもパネル搬送下流側に位置し、第三光学部材シートF3を切断する。第三切断装置19は第二切断装置16と同様のレーザー加工機であり、第三光学部材シートF3を表示領域P4の外周縁に沿って(例えば液晶パネルPの外周縁に沿って)無端状に切断する。   The 3rd cutting device 19 is located in a panel conveyance downstream rather than the pinching roll 18b, and cut | disconnects the 3rd optical member sheet | seat F3. The third cutting device 19 is a laser processing machine similar to the second cutting device 16, and the third optical member sheet F3 is endless along the outer peripheral edge of the display region P4 (for example, along the outer peripheral edge of the liquid crystal panel P). Disconnect.

第三切断装置19の切断により、第二片面貼合パネルP12の上面に第三光学部材F13が貼合された両面貼合パネルP13が形成される(図8参照)。またこのとき、両面貼合パネルP13と、表示領域P4との対向部分(第三光学部材F13)が切り取られて枠状に残る第三光学部材シートF3の余剰部分(不図示)とが分離される。第三光学部材シートF3の余剰部分は第二光学部材シートF2の余剰部分Yと同様に複数連なって梯子状をなし(図2参照)、この余剰部分が第三回収部18dに巻き取られる。   By the cutting | disconnection of the 3rd cutting device 19, the double-sided bonding panel P13 by which the 3rd optical member F13 was bonded on the upper surface of the 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 is formed (refer FIG. 8). Further, at this time, the double-sided bonding panel P13 and the surplus portion (not shown) of the third optical member sheet F3 remaining in a frame shape are separated from the facing portion (third optical member F13) of the display region P4. The A plurality of surplus portions of the third optical member sheet F3 are formed in a ladder shape in a manner similar to the surplus portion Y of the second optical member sheet F2 (see FIG. 2), and the surplus portions are wound around the third recovery portion 18d.

両面貼合パネルP13は、不図示の欠陥検査装置を経て欠陥(貼合不良等)の有無が検査された後、下流工程に搬送されて他の処理がなされる。   After the double-sided bonding panel P13 is inspected for defects (such as poor bonding) through a defect inspection device (not shown), it is transported to the downstream process and subjected to other processes.

一般に、長尺の光学フィルム(各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3に相当)は、二色性色素で染色した樹脂フィルムを一軸延伸させて製造されており、光学フィルムの光学軸の方向は樹脂フィルムの延伸方向と概ね一致する。しかし、光学フィルムの光学軸は、光学フィルム全体で均一ではなく、光学フィルムの幅方向で若干ばらついている。   In general, a long optical film (corresponding to each optical member sheet F1, F2, F3) is manufactured by uniaxially stretching a resin film dyed with a dichroic dye, and the direction of the optical axis of the optical film is a resin. Generally coincides with the stretching direction of the film. However, the optical axis of the optical film is not uniform throughout the optical film, but varies slightly in the width direction of the optical film.

このため、光学フィルムにその幅方向で複数の光学表示部品を貼合するような場合、光学フィルムの光学軸方向に合わせて光学表示部品のアライメントを行うことが望ましい。これは、光学表示デバイス単位の光学軸のバラツキを抑えて精彩やコントラストを高めるという点で有効である。   For this reason, when bonding a some optical display component to the optical film in the width direction, it is desirable to align an optical display component according to the optical axis direction of an optical film. This is effective in that the variation in the optical axis of each optical display device is suppressed and the color and contrast are enhanced.

偏光フィルムとしての光学フィルムは、一方向に振動する光以外の光を遮断するために、例えばヨウ素や二色性染料等により染色されている。なお、光学フィルムに剥離フィルムや保護フィルムがさらに積層されてもよい。   An optical film as a polarizing film is dyed with, for example, iodine or a dichroic dye in order to block light other than light that vibrates in one direction. In addition, a peeling film and a protective film may be further laminated | stacked on the optical film.

光学フィルムの光学軸方向を検査する検査装置は、光学フィルムの表裏一側方に配置された光源と、光学フィルムの表裏他側方に配置された検光子とを有する。検光子は、光源から照射されて光学フィルムを透過した光を受光し、この光の強度を検出することで、光学フィルムの光学軸を検出する。検光子は、例えば光学フィルムの幅方向で移動可能であり、光学フィルムの幅方向の任意箇所で光学軸を検査可能である。   An inspection apparatus for inspecting the optical axis direction of an optical film includes a light source disposed on one side of the front and back of the optical film and an analyzer disposed on the other side of the front and back of the optical film. The analyzer receives the light irradiated from the light source and transmitted through the optical film, and detects the optical axis of the optical film by detecting the intensity of this light. The analyzer can move, for example, in the width direction of the optical film, and can inspect the optical axis at an arbitrary position in the width direction of the optical film.

本実施形態の場合、前記検査装置で得た各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3の光学軸方向の検査データは、各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3の長手方向位置と幅方向位置とに関連付けられて制御装置20のメモリに記憶される。この検査後に各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3が巻き取られて各原反ロールR1,R2,R3をそれぞれ形成する。以下、各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3を光学部材シートFX、各光学部材シートF1,F2,F3に貼合される液晶パネルP及び各片面貼合パネルP11,P12を光学表示部材PXと総称することがある。   In the case of this embodiment, the inspection data in the optical axis direction of each optical member sheet F1, F2, F3 obtained by the inspection apparatus is associated with the longitudinal direction position and the width direction position of each optical member sheet F1, F2, F3. And stored in the memory of the control device 20. After this inspection, the optical member sheets F1, F2, and F3 are wound up to form the original rolls R1, R2, and R3, respectively. Hereinafter, the optical member sheets F1, F2, and F3 are collectively referred to as the optical member sheet FX, the liquid crystal panel P that is bonded to the optical member sheets F1, F2, and F3, and the single-sided bonding panels P11 and P12 are collectively referred to as the optical display member PX. There are things to do.

光学部材シートFXを構成する偏光子フィルムは、例えば二色性色素で染色したPVAフィルムを一軸延伸して形成されるが、延伸する際のPVAフィルムの厚さのムラや二色性色素の染色ムラ等に起因して、光学部材シートFXの幅方向内側と幅方向外側とで光学軸方向の相違が生じる傾向にある。   The polarizer film constituting the optical member sheet FX is formed by, for example, uniaxially stretching a PVA film dyed with a dichroic dye, but unevenness in the thickness of the PVA film during the stretching or dyeing of the dichroic dye Due to unevenness or the like, there is a tendency that a difference in the optical axis direction occurs between the inner side in the width direction and the outer side in the width direction of the optical member sheet FX.

そこで、本実施形態では、制御装置20に予め記憶した光学部材シートFXの各部における光学軸の面内分布の検査データに基づき、これらに貼合する光学表示部品PXのアライメントを行った上で、光学部材シートFXに光学表示部品PXを貼合している。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, based on the inspection data of the in-plane distribution of the optical axis in each part of the optical member sheet FX stored in advance in the control device 20, the alignment of the optical display component PX to be bonded to these is performed. The optical display component PX is bonded to the optical member sheet FX.

具体的には、光学部材シートFXにおける光学表示部品PXを貼合する部位の面内において、例えば所定の基準軸(長手方向軸等)に対する角度が最大の光学軸と最小の光学軸とを見出し、これら各光学軸がなす角を二等分する軸を当該部位の平均的な光学軸として、この軸を基準に光学表示部品PXのアライメントを行っている。   Specifically, for example, the optical axis having the maximum angle and the minimum optical axis with respect to a predetermined reference axis (longitudinal axis or the like) is found in the plane of the portion where the optical display component PX is bonded to the optical member sheet FX. The optical display component PX is aligned on the basis of the axis that bisects the angle formed by these optical axes as an average optical axis of the part.

これにより、光学部材シートFXの幅方向で異なる位置に光学表示部品PXを貼合する場合にも、光学表示部品PXの基準位置に対する光学部材シートFXの光学軸方向のバラツキを抑制でき、光学軸公差をほぼ0°(許容公差は±0.25°)にすることができる。   Accordingly, even when the optical display component PX is bonded to a different position in the width direction of the optical member sheet FX, the variation in the optical axis direction of the optical member sheet FX with respect to the reference position of the optical display component PX can be suppressed. The tolerance can be approximately 0 ° (allowable tolerance is ± 0.25 °).

なお、光学部材シートFXを巻き出しつつ光学軸方向を検出し、この検出データに基づき光学表示部品PXのアライメントを行うようにしてもよい。また、前述した種々のアライメント手法は、光学部材シートFXの光学軸方向が0°及び90°の場合に限らず、任意の角度の場合にも適用できる。   Note that the optical axis direction may be detected while the optical member sheet FX is unwound, and the optical display component PX may be aligned based on the detection data. The various alignment methods described above are not limited to the case where the optical axis direction of the optical member sheet FX is 0 ° and 90 °, but can be applied to any angle.

また、図3は比較的幅の広い光学部材シートFXにその幅方向で三つの光学表示部品PXを並べて貼合する例を示すが、これに限らず、二つ以下又は四つ以上の光学表示部品PXを光学部材シートFXの幅方向で並べて貼合する構成であったり、比較的幅の狭い光学部材シートFXを幅方向に複数並べてこれらのそれぞれに光学表示部品PXを貼合する構成であってもよい。   FIG. 3 shows an example in which three optical display components PX are aligned and bonded to a relatively wide optical member sheet FX in the width direction, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or less or four or more optical displays are displayed. It is a configuration in which the parts PX are arranged and bonded in the width direction of the optical member sheet FX, or a plurality of relatively narrow optical member sheets FX are arranged in the width direction and the optical display components PX are bonded to each of them. May be.

図4を参照し、液晶パネルPは、例えばTFT基板からなる長方形状の第一基板P1と、第一基板P1に対向して配置される同じく長方形状の第二基板P2と、第一基板P1と第二基板P2との間に封入される液晶層P3とを有する。なお、図示都合上、断面図の各層のハッチングを略すことがある。   Referring to FIG. 4, the liquid crystal panel P includes a rectangular first substrate P1 made of, for example, a TFT substrate, a second rectangular substrate P2 disposed opposite to the first substrate P1, and a first substrate P1. And a liquid crystal layer P3 sealed between the second substrate P2. For convenience of illustration, hatching of each layer in the cross-sectional view may be omitted.

図6,7を参照し、第一基板P1は、その外周縁の三辺を第二基板P2の対応する三辺に沿わせると共に、外周縁の残りの一辺を第二基板P2の対応する一辺よりも外側に張り出させる。これにより、第一基板P1の前記一辺側に第二基板P2よりも外側に張り出す電気部品取り付け部P5が設けられる。   Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the first substrate P1 has three sides of the outer periphery along the corresponding three sides of the second substrate P2, and the remaining one side of the outer periphery is a corresponding side of the second substrate P2. Overhang outside. Thereby, the electrical component attachment part P5 which protrudes outside the 2nd board | substrate P2 is provided in the said one side of the 1st board | substrate P1.

図5,7を参照し、第二切断装置16は、表示領域P4の外周縁をカメラ16a等の検出手段で検出しつつ、表示領域P4の外周縁等に沿って第一及び第二光学部材シートF1,F2を切断する。また、第三切断装置19は、同じく表示領域P4の外周縁をカメラ19a等の検出手段で検出しつつ、表示領域P4の外周縁等に沿って第三光学部材シートF3を切断する。表示領域P4の外側には、第一及び第二基板P1,P2を接合するシール剤等を配置する所定幅の額縁部Gが設けられ、この額縁部Gの幅内で各切断装置16,19によるレーザーカットがなされる。   5 and 7, the second cutting device 16 detects the outer peripheral edge of the display area P4 with a detecting means such as a camera 16a, and the first and second optical members along the outer peripheral edge of the display area P4. The sheets F1 and F2 are cut. In addition, the third cutting device 19 similarly cuts the third optical member sheet F3 along the outer peripheral edge and the like of the display area P4 while detecting the outer peripheral edge of the display area P4 by a detection unit such as a camera 19a. Outside the display area P4, a frame portion G having a predetermined width for arranging a sealant or the like for joining the first and second substrates P1 and P2 is provided, and the cutting devices 16 and 19 within the width of the frame portion G are provided. Laser cutting is done.

樹脂製の光学部材シートFXを単独でレーザーカットすると、その切断端が熱変形により膨れたり波打ったりすることがある。このため、レーザーカット後の光学部材シートFXを光学表示部品PXに貼合する場合には、光学部材シートFXにエア混入や歪み等の貼合不良が生じ易い。   When the resin optical member sheet FX is laser-cut alone, the cut end may be swollen or wavy due to thermal deformation. For this reason, when the optical member sheet FX after laser cutting is bonded to the optical display component PX, poor bonding such as air mixing and distortion is likely to occur in the optical member sheet FX.

一方、光学部材シートFXを液晶パネルPに貼合した後に光学部材シートFXをレーザーカットする本実施形態では、光学部材シートFXの切断端が液晶パネルPのガラス面にバックアップされるため、光学部材シートFXの切断端の膨れや波打ち等が生じず、かつ液晶パネルPへの貼合後であることから前記貼合不良も生じ得ない。   On the other hand, in the present embodiment in which the optical member sheet FX is laser-cut after the optical member sheet FX is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, the cut end of the optical member sheet FX is backed up on the glass surface of the liquid crystal panel P. Since the cut end of the sheet FX is not swollen, corrugated, or the like, and after being bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, the bonding failure cannot occur.

レーザー加工機の切断線の振れ幅(公差)は切断刃のそれよりも小さく、したがって本実施形態では、切断刃を用いて光学部材シートFXを切断する場合と比べて、前記額縁部Gの幅を狭めることが可能であり、液晶パネルPの小型化及び(又は)表示領域P4の大型化が可能である。これは、近年のスマートフォンやタブレット端末のように、筐体のサイズが制限される中で表示画面の拡大が要求される高機能モバイルへの適用に有効である。   The deflection width (tolerance) of the cutting line of the laser processing machine is smaller than that of the cutting blade. Therefore, in this embodiment, the width of the frame portion G is larger than that in the case of cutting the optical member sheet FX using the cutting blade. The liquid crystal panel P can be reduced in size and / or the display area P4 can be increased in size. This is effective for application to high-function mobile devices that require expansion of the display screen while the size of the housing is limited, such as smartphones and tablet terminals in recent years.

また、光学部材シートFXを液晶パネルPの表示領域P4に整合するシート片にカットした後に液晶パネルPに貼合する場合、前記シート片及び液晶パネルPそれぞれの寸法公差、並びにこれらの相対貼合位置の寸法公差が重なるため、液晶パネルPの額縁部Gの幅を狭めることが困難になる(表示エリアの拡大が困難になる)。   In addition, when the optical member sheet FX is cut into a sheet piece aligned with the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P and then bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, the dimensional tolerances of the sheet piece and the liquid crystal panel P, and their relative bonding Since the positional dimensional tolerances overlap, it is difficult to reduce the width of the frame portion G of the liquid crystal panel P (it is difficult to enlarge the display area).

一方、光学部材シートFXを液晶パネルPに貼合した後に表示領域P4に合わせてカットする場合、切断線の振れ公差のみを考慮すればよく、額縁部Gの幅の公差を小さくすることができる(±0.1mm以下)。この点においても、液晶パネルPの額縁部Gの幅を狭めることができる(表示エリアの拡大が可能となる)。   On the other hand, when the optical member sheet FX is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P and then cut in accordance with the display region P4, only the runout tolerance of the cutting line needs to be considered, and the width tolerance of the frame portion G can be reduced. (± 0.1 mm or less). Also in this respect, the width of the frame part G of the liquid crystal panel P can be reduced (the display area can be enlarged).

さらに、光学部材シートFXを刃物ではなくレーザーでカットすることで、切断時の力が液晶パネルPに入力されず、液晶パネルPの基板の端縁にクラックや欠けが生じ難くなり、ヒートサイクル等に対する耐久性が向上する。同様に、液晶パネルPに非接触であるため、電気部品取り付け部P5に対するダメージも少ない。   Further, by cutting the optical member sheet FX with a laser instead of a blade, the cutting force is not input to the liquid crystal panel P, and it becomes difficult for cracks and chips to occur at the edge of the substrate of the liquid crystal panel P, such as a heat cycle. The durability against is improved. Similarly, since there is no contact with the liquid crystal panel P, there is little damage to the electrical component mounting portion P5.

図6に示すように、光学部材シートFX(図6では第三光学部材シートF3)をレーザーカットする場合、例えば表示領域P4の一長辺の延長上にレーザーカットの始点pt1を設定し、この始点pt1からまず前記一長辺の切断を開始する。レーザーカットの終点pt2は、レーザーが表示領域P4を一周して表示領域P4の始点側の短辺の延長上に至る位置に設定する。始点pt1及び終点pt2は、光学部材シートFXの余剰部分に所定の接続代を残し、光学部材シートFXを巻き取る際の張力に耐え得るように設定される。   As shown in FIG. 6, when laser cutting the optical member sheet FX (third optical member sheet F3 in FIG. 6), for example, a laser cut start point pt1 is set on the extension of one long side of the display area P4, and this First, the cutting of the one long side is started from the starting point pt1. The end point pt2 of the laser cut is set at a position where the laser goes around the display area P4 and reaches the extension of the short side on the start point side of the display area P4. The start point pt1 and the end point pt2 are set so as to be able to withstand the tension when the optical member sheet FX is wound, leaving a predetermined connection allowance in the surplus portion of the optical member sheet FX.

ここで、図1に示すように、フィルム貼合システム1は、第二貼合装置15に近接して設けられて第二光学部材シートF2の余剰部分Y(及び第一光学部材シートF1の余剰部分Y’)の剥離に用いられるシート搬送キャリア21と、同じく第二光学部材シートF2の余剰部分Yの剥離に用いられる第二回収部15dとを備える。また、フィルム貼合システム1は、第三貼合装置18に近接して設けられて第三光学シートF3の余剰部分Yの剥離に用いられるシート搬送キャリア21’と、同じく第三光学シートF3の余剰部分Yの剥離に用いられる第三回収部18dとを備える。   Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the film bonding system 1 is provided in the vicinity of the second bonding device 15, and the surplus portion Y of the second optical member sheet F2 (and the surplus of the first optical member sheet F1). The sheet conveyance carrier 21 used for peeling of the part Y ′) and the second recovery part 15d used for peeling off the surplus part Y of the second optical member sheet F2 are provided. Moreover, the film bonding system 1 is provided in the vicinity of the third bonding device 18 and is used for peeling the surplus portion Y of the third optical sheet F3, and also the third optical sheet F3. A third recovery unit 18d used for peeling off the surplus portion Y.

以下、第二貼合装置15に近接して設けられるシート搬送キャリア21及び第二回収部15dについて説明するが、第三貼合装置18に近接して設けられるシート搬送キャリア21’及び第三回収部18dも同様の構成を有するものとする。   Hereinafter, although the sheet | seat conveyance carrier 21 and the 2nd collection | recovery part 15d provided in proximity to the 2nd bonding apparatus 15 are demonstrated, the sheet | seat conveyance carrier 21 'provided in the vicinity of the 3rd bonding apparatus 18 and 3rd collection | recovery The part 18d is assumed to have the same configuration.

図9を併せて参照し、シート搬送キャリア21は、ローラコンベヤ5の下方に配置される。シート搬送キャリア21は、液晶パネルP(以下の説明では第二貼合シートF22及び第二片面貼合パネルP12を含む意味とする)をその下方から例えばエア吸引により吸着保持する。   Referring also to FIG. 9, the sheet conveyance carrier 21 is disposed below the roller conveyor 5. The sheet conveying carrier 21 sucks and holds the liquid crystal panel P (in the following description, including the second bonding sheet F22 and the second single-sided bonding panel P12), for example, by air suction from below.

シート搬送キャリア21は、パネル搬送方向に沿って移動可能に設けられるキャリア本体22と、キャリア本体22に上下昇降可能に支持されるステージ23と、液晶パネルPの内側(表示領域P4)の下面を吸着するべくステージ23に支持される内側吸着パッド25と、液晶パネルPの外側(電気部品取り付け部P5等)の下面を吸着するべくステージ23に支持される外側吸着パッド26と、キャリア本体22に上方へ起立した状態で固定的に支持される剥離部材24とを有する。シート搬送キャリア21の作動は制御装置20により制御される。   The sheet conveyance carrier 21 includes a carrier main body 22 provided so as to be movable along the panel conveyance direction, a stage 23 supported by the carrier main body 22 so as to be movable up and down, and a lower surface inside the liquid crystal panel P (display area P4). The inner suction pad 25 supported by the stage 23 to be sucked, the outer suction pad 26 supported by the stage 23 to suck the lower surface of the outside of the liquid crystal panel P (such as the electrical component mounting portion P5), and the carrier body 22 And a peeling member 24 that is fixedly supported while standing upward. The operation of the sheet conveyance carrier 21 is controlled by the control device 20.

キャリア本体22は、第二切断装置16の下方位置と第二回収部15dの押さえロール15eの下方位置との間で移動可能とされる。キャリア本体22が第二切断装置16の下方位置にあるとき、シート搬送キャリア21はレーザーカット用の治具としても機能し、液晶パネルPを所定の作業位置に固定する。   The carrier main body 22 is movable between a lower position of the second cutting device 16 and a lower position of the pressing roll 15e of the second recovery unit 15d. When the carrier body 22 is at a position below the second cutting device 16, the sheet transport carrier 21 also functions as a laser cutting jig, and fixes the liquid crystal panel P at a predetermined work position.

液晶パネルPは、例えばTFT(Thin Film Transistor)基板からなるベース板部(前記第一基板P1に相当)P6と、ベース板部P6に対向配置される対向板部P7とを有する。対向板部P7は、ベース板部P6と対向する比較的小形の基板(前記第二基板P2に相当)とこれらの間に封入される液晶層P3とを含む。第二切断装置16において、液晶パネルPはバックライト側(ベース板部P6側)を上側にして配置される。   The liquid crystal panel P includes a base plate portion (corresponding to the first substrate P1) P6 made of, for example, a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate, and a counter plate portion P7 disposed to face the base plate portion P6. The counter plate portion P7 includes a relatively small substrate (corresponding to the second substrate P2) facing the base plate portion P6 and a liquid crystal layer P3 sealed therebetween. In the second cutting device 16, the liquid crystal panel P is arranged with the backlight side (base plate portion P6 side) on the upper side.

ステージ23の内側吸着パッド25は、液晶パネルPにおける対向板部P7を含む厚板部P8の下面に吸着し、ステージ23の外側吸着パッド26は、液晶パネルPにおける厚板部P8の外側でベース板部P6を主になる薄板部P9の下面に吸着する。厚板部P8の下面と薄板部P9の下面とは段差状に連なり、これらの間の略垂直な段差面に外側吸着パッド26が接することで、シート搬送キャリア21に対する液晶パネルPの位置決めがなされる。なお、液晶パネルPの表示領域P4は厚板部P8の外形内に形成される。   The inner suction pad 25 of the stage 23 is sucked to the lower surface of the thick plate portion P8 including the counter plate portion P7 in the liquid crystal panel P, and the outer suction pad 26 of the stage 23 is a base outside the thick plate portion P8 in the liquid crystal panel P. The plate portion P6 is attracted to the lower surface of the main thin plate portion P9. The lower surface of the thick plate portion P8 and the lower surface of the thin plate portion P9 are connected in steps, and the liquid crystal panel P is positioned with respect to the sheet conveyance carrier 21 by the outer suction pad 26 contacting the substantially vertical step surface therebetween. The The display area P4 of the liquid crystal panel P is formed within the outer shape of the thick plate portion P8.

図2を併せて参照し、第二光学部材シートF2における表示領域P4の外方に切り残される余剰部分Yは、パネル搬送上流側で部品幅方向に沿って延びる上流側片y1と、パネル搬送下流側で部品幅方向に沿って延びる下流側片y2と、部品幅方向両側で搬送方向に沿って延びる両側片y3とを有し、平面視矩形の枠状に形成される。   Referring also to FIG. 2, the surplus portion Y left outside the display area P4 in the second optical member sheet F2 includes an upstream piece y1 extending along the component width direction on the upstream side of the panel transport, and the panel transport It has a downstream side piece y2 extending along the component width direction on the downstream side and both side pieces y3 extending along the conveying direction on both sides of the component width direction, and is formed in a rectangular frame shape in plan view.

ステージ23は、その上昇位置にあるときに、各吸着パッド25,26を液晶パネルPの対応部位の下面に吸着させる。この状態から、ステージ23が下降位置に変位することで、ステージ23が吸着した液晶パネルPも一体的に下降する。ステージ23が上昇位置にあるとき、剥離部材24は液晶パネルPのパネル搬送上流側で第二光学部材シートF2の下面(余剰部分Yの上流側片y1の下面)に近接する。剥離部材24は、部品幅方向に沿って延びる先端部24aを有する。先端部24aは、液晶パネルPが下降位置に変位したときに、余剰部分Yの上流側片y1をその部品幅方向の全幅に渡って下方から突き上げる。   When the stage 23 is in its raised position, the suction pads 25 and 26 are attracted to the lower surface of the corresponding part of the liquid crystal panel P. When the stage 23 is displaced to the lowered position from this state, the liquid crystal panel P attracted by the stage 23 is also lowered integrally. When the stage 23 is in the raised position, the peeling member 24 is close to the lower surface of the second optical member sheet F2 (the lower surface of the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y) on the upstream side of the liquid crystal panel P. The peeling member 24 has a front end portion 24a extending along the component width direction. When the liquid crystal panel P is displaced to the lowered position, the front end portion 24a pushes up the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y from below over the entire width in the component width direction.

押さえロール15eは、第二光学部材シートF2の幅方向と平行に配置される。押さえロール15eは、その外周面に第二光学部材シートF2(余剰部分Yの下流側片y2)を巻きつける。第二光学部材シートF2(余剰部分Y)は、押さえロール15eを含む第二回収部15dの駆動によって、液晶パネルPより剥離されつつ巻き取られる。   The pressing roll 15e is disposed in parallel with the width direction of the second optical member sheet F2. The pressing roll 15e winds the second optical member sheet F2 (the downstream piece y2 of the surplus portion Y) around the outer peripheral surface thereof. The second optical member sheet F2 (the surplus portion Y) is wound while being peeled off from the liquid crystal panel P by driving the second recovery portion 15d including the pressing roll 15e.

次に、シート搬送キャリア21及び第二回収部15dの作用について説明する。
まず、図9に示すように、シート搬送キャリア21が第二切断装置16の下方位置にある状態で、その上方に搬送された液晶パネルPがステージ23に吸着固定される。この状態で、第二切断装置16による第二光学部材シートF2のレーザーカットがなされる。
Next, the operation of the sheet conveyance carrier 21 and the second collection unit 15d will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the liquid crystal panel P transported above the sheet transport carrier 21 is attracted and fixed to the stage 23 in a state where the sheet transport carrier 21 is positioned below the second cutting device 16. In this state, the second cutting device 16 performs laser cutting of the second optical member sheet F2.

次いで、図10に示すように、既に下流側に搬送された液晶パネルPに対応する余剰部分Yを巻き付けた押さえロール15eが、図の半時計回り方向に回転することで、第二光学部材シートF2を第二回収部15d側へ引っ張る。このとき、押さえロール15eが余剰部分Yの下流側片y2を下流側端t2から剥離させ、もって余剰部分Yの下流側片y2が部品幅方向の全幅に渡って剥離される。またこのとき、シート搬送キャリア21は搬送方向で移動自在とされ、余剰部分Yの巻き取りに応じて液晶パネルP及びシート搬送キャリア21がパネル搬送下流側へ牽引される。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the second optical member sheet is obtained by rotating the pressing roll 15 e around which the surplus portion Y corresponding to the liquid crystal panel P already transported downstream rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the drawing. Pull F2 toward the second recovery section 15d. At this time, the pressing roll 15e peels the downstream piece y2 of the surplus portion Y from the downstream end t2, so that the downstream piece y2 of the surplus portion Y is peeled over the entire width in the component width direction. At this time, the sheet conveyance carrier 21 is movable in the conveyance direction, and the liquid crystal panel P and the sheet conveyance carrier 21 are pulled to the downstream side of the panel conveyance in accordance with the winding of the surplus portion Y.

余剰部分Yの下流側片y2は、押さえロール15eの回転方向(概ね側面視の接線方向、図中矢印s参照)に沿うように液晶パネルPより剥離される。このとき、余剰部分Yを液晶パネルPよりその垂直方向に沿うように剥離する場合と比べて、液晶パネルPに対する負荷が軽減される。押さえロール15eは、余剰部分Y(下流側片y2)をその下流側端t2から剥離させる下流側剥離装置を構成するといえる。   The downstream piece y2 of the surplus portion Y is peeled from the liquid crystal panel P so as to follow the rotation direction of the pressing roll 15e (generally in the tangential direction in a side view, see arrow s in the figure). At this time, the load on the liquid crystal panel P is reduced as compared with the case where the surplus portion Y is peeled off from the liquid crystal panel P along the vertical direction. It can be said that the pressing roll 15e constitutes a downstream peeling device that peels the excess portion Y (downstream piece y2) from the downstream end t2.

一方、シート搬送キャリア21は、剥離部材24によって余剰部分Y(上流側片y1)をその上流側端t1から剥離させる上流側剥離装置を構成するといえる。
すなわち、図11に示すように、シート搬送キャリア21は、液晶パネルPを吸着したステージ23を下降位置に変位させることで、このステージ23及び液晶パネルPに対して剥離部材24を相対的に上昇させる。この剥離部材24の先端部24aが余剰部分Yの上流側片y1(上流側端t1)を上方に突き上げることで、余剰部分Yの上流側片y1が部品幅方向の全幅に渡って剥離される。
On the other hand, it can be said that the sheet conveying carrier 21 constitutes an upstream side peeling device that peels the surplus portion Y (upstream side piece y1) from the upstream side end t1 by the peeling member 24.
That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the sheet conveying carrier 21 moves the peeling member 24 relative to the stage 23 and the liquid crystal panel P by displacing the stage 23 attracting the liquid crystal panel P to the lowered position. Let The leading end 24a of the peeling member 24 pushes up the upstream piece y1 (upstream end t1) of the surplus portion Y so that the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y is peeled over the entire width in the component width direction. .

次いで、図12に示すように、押さえロール15eがさらに回転すると、余剰部分Yにおける剥離されずに残された両側片y3がパネル搬送下流側から漸次剥離される。すなわち、第二回収部15dは、余剰部分Yの下流側片y2及び上流側片y1を剥離させた後に側片y3を剥離させる中間剥離装置を兼ねるといえる。そして、押さえロール15eによる剥離部分と剥離部材24による剥離部分とが合流することで、枠状の余剰部分Y全体が液晶パネルPより無理なく剥離される。   Next, as shown in FIG. 12, when the pressing roll 15 e further rotates, both side pieces y <b> 3 left without being peeled in the surplus portion Y are gradually peeled from the downstream side of the panel conveyance. That is, it can be said that the second recovery unit 15d also serves as an intermediate peeling device that peels the downstream piece y2 and the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y and then peels the side piece y3. And the peeling part by the holding | suppressing roll 15e and the peeling part by the peeling member 24 merge, and the frame-shaped surplus part Y whole is peeled from the liquid crystal panel P reasonably.

剥離部材24による上流側片y1の剥離を行わない場合、押さえロール15eによって余剰部分Yの両側片y3をその上流側端まで剥離させた後、この両側片y3の上流側端を起点に上流側片y1を剥離させる必要が生じる。すると、上流側片y1と両側片y3との接続部分がちぎれて余剰部分Yの回収を中断させることがある。しかし、予め上流側片y1をその全幅に渡る剥離部材24によって剥離させておくことで、余剰部分Yの回収を中断させることなく効率よく行うことが可能となる。   In the case where the upstream piece y1 is not peeled off by the peeling member 24, the both side pieces y3 of the surplus portion Y are peeled to the upstream end by the pressing roll 15e, and then the upstream side from the upstream end of the both side pieces y3 is the upstream side. The piece y1 needs to be peeled off. Then, the connection part of the upstream piece y1 and the both side pieces y3 may be broken, and the recovery of the surplus part Y may be interrupted. However, by separating the upstream piece y1 in advance by the peeling member 24 over its entire width, it becomes possible to efficiently perform the recovery of the surplus portion Y without interruption.

図13に示すように、余剰部分Yの回収後は、例えばシート搬送キャリア21全体が所定量下降し、第二切断装置16の下方位置まで移動した後に再度上昇する。以下、シート搬送キャリア21が上流側の液晶パネルPを吸着した後、前記同様の各処理が繰り返される。   As shown in FIG. 13, after the surplus portion Y is collected, for example, the entire sheet transport carrier 21 is lowered by a predetermined amount, and is moved up to a lower position of the second cutting device 16 and then raised again. Hereinafter, after the sheet conveyance carrier 21 sucks the liquid crystal panel P on the upstream side, the same processes as described above are repeated.

以上説明したように、上記実施形態における光学部材貼合体の製造装置は、液晶パネルPに第二光学部材F12を貼合してなる第二片面貼合パネルP12を製造するものにおいて、ライン上を搬送される複数の前記液晶パネルPに対し、その搬送方向と直交する部品幅方向で前記液晶パネルPの表示領域P4よりも幅の広い帯状の第二光学部材シートF2を、第二原反ロールR2から巻き出しつつ、前記第二光学部材シートF2に複数の前記液晶パネルPを貼り合わせて第二貼合シートF22とする第二貼合装置15と、前記第二光学部材シートF2の前記表示領域P4との対向部分とその外側の余剰部分Yとを切り離し、前記第二光学部材シートF2から前記表示領域P4に対応する大きさの前記第二光学部材F12を切り出すことで、前記第二貼合シートF22から単一の前記液晶パネルP及びこれに重なる前記第二光学部材F12を含む第二片面貼合パネルP12を切り出す第二切断装置16と、前記液晶パネルPに貼合された前記余剰部分Yの下流側片y2を剥離させる下流側剥離装置(第二回収部15d)と、前記余剰部分Yの上流側片y1を剥離させる上流側剥離装置(シート搬送キャリア21)と、前記余剰部分Yの前記下流側片y2及び上流側片y1を剥離させた後、前記余剰部分Yの側片y3を剥離させる中間剥離装置(第二回収部15d)と、を備えるものである。   As explained above, the manufacturing apparatus of the optical member bonding body in the said embodiment manufactures the 2nd single-sided bonding panel P12 formed by bonding the 2nd optical member F12 to liquid crystal panel P, On the line For a plurality of the liquid crystal panels P to be transported, a strip-shaped second optical member sheet F2 having a width wider than the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P in a component width direction orthogonal to the transport direction is used as a second original roll. The 2nd bonding apparatus 15 which bonds the said some liquid crystal panel P to said 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 and makes it the 2nd bonding sheet | seat F22, unwinding from R2, and the said display of said 2nd optical member sheet | seat F2 By separating the portion facing the region P4 and the excess portion Y outside thereof, the second optical member F12 having a size corresponding to the display region P4 is cut out from the second optical member sheet F2, The second cutting device 16 that cuts out the second single-sided bonding panel P12 including the single liquid crystal panel P and the second optical member F12 that overlaps the single liquid crystal panel P from the second bonding sheet F22, and the liquid crystal panel P. A downstream peeling device (second recovery portion 15d) that peels the downstream piece y2 of the surplus portion Y, and an upstream peeling device (sheet transport carrier 21) that peels the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y, An intermediate peeling device (second recovery portion 15d) that peels the side piece y3 of the surplus portion Y after peeling the downstream side piece y2 and the upstream side piece y1 of the surplus portion Y is provided.

同様に、上記実施形態における光学部材貼合体の製造装置は、液晶パネルPに第三光学部材F13を貼合してなる両面貼合パネルP13を製造するものにおいて、ライン上を搬送される複数の前記液晶パネルPに対し、その搬送方向と直交する部品幅方向で前記液晶パネルPの表示領域P4よりも幅の広い帯状の第三光学部材シートF3を、第三原反ロールR3から巻き出しつつ、前記第三光学部材シートF3に複数の前記液晶パネルPを貼り合わせて第三貼合シートF23とする第三貼合装置18と、前記第三光学部材シートF3の前記表示領域P4との対向部分とその外側の余剰部分Yとを切り離し、前記第三光学部材シートF3から前記表示領域P4に対応する大きさの前記第三光学部材F13を切り出すことで、前記第三貼合シートF23から単一の前記液晶パネルP及びこれに重なる前記第三光学部材F13を含む両面貼合パネルP13を切り出す第三切断装置19と、前記液晶パネルPに貼合された前記余剰部分Yの下流側片y2を剥離させる下流側剥離装置(第三回収部18d)と、前記余剰部分Yの上流側片y1を剥離させる上流側剥離装置(シート搬送キャリア21’)と、前記余剰部分Yの前記下流側片y2及び上流側片y1を剥離させた後、前記余剰部分Yの側片y3を剥離させる中間剥離装置(第三回収部18d)と、を備えるものである。   Similarly, the manufacturing apparatus of the optical member bonding body in the said embodiment manufactures the double-sided bonding panel P13 formed by bonding the 3rd optical member F13 to liquid crystal panel P, The some conveyed on a line With respect to the liquid crystal panel P, a belt-shaped third optical member sheet F3 having a width wider than the display area P4 of the liquid crystal panel P in the component width direction perpendicular to the conveying direction is unwound from the third original roll R3. The third laminating device 18 that forms the third laminating sheet F23 by laminating the plurality of liquid crystal panels P on the third optical member sheet F3, and the display area P4 of the third optical member sheet F3. A part and the excess part Y of the outer side are cut off, and the third optical member F13 having a size corresponding to the display area P4 is cut out from the third optical member sheet F3, thereby the third bonding sheet. 23, a third cutting device 19 that cuts out a single-sided liquid crystal panel P and a double-sided bonding panel P13 including the third optical member F13 overlapping therewith, and downstream of the surplus portion Y bonded to the liquid crystal panel P A downstream peeling device (third recovery part 18d) for peeling the side piece y2, an upstream peeling device (sheet transport carrier 21 ′) for peeling the upstream piece y1 of the surplus portion Y, and the surplus portion Y An intermediate peeling device (third recovery portion 18d) that peels the side piece y3 of the surplus portion Y after peeling the downstream piece y2 and the upstream piece y1.

この構成によれば、表示領域P4よりも幅の広い光学部材シートF2,F3に液晶パネルPを貼合することで、光学部材シートF2,F3の位置に応じてその光学軸方向が変化する場合でも、この光学軸方向に合わせて液晶パネルPをアライメントして貼合することができる。これにより、液晶パネルPに対する光学部材F12,F13の光学軸方向の精度を向上させることができ、光学表示デバイスの精彩及びコントラストを高めることができる。
また、表示領域P4よりも大きい光学部材シートF2,F3に液晶パネルPを貼合した後に、光学部材シートF2,F3の余剰部分Yを切り離すことで、表示領域P4に対応するサイズの光学部材F12,F13を液晶パネルPの面上で形成することができる。これにより、光学部材F12,F13を表示領域P4の際まで精度よく設けることができ、表示領域P4外側の額縁部Gを狭めて表示エリアの拡大及び機器の小型化を図ることができる。
そして、光学部材シートF2,F3から切り離した余剰部分Yを回収する際、この余剰部分Yの下流側片y2を剥離させると共に、余剰部分Yの上流側片y1を剥離させることで、これら下流側片y2及び上流側片y1の間に搬送方向に沿う細長の側片y3が形成されるような場合でも、下流側片y2及び上流側片y1を側片y3を介して剥離させるようなことにならず、下流側片y2及び上流側片y1と側片y3との接続部分のちぎれによる回収作業の中断を防止でき、余剰部分Yを途切れなく連続的に回収することができる。
According to this configuration, when the liquid crystal panel P is bonded to the optical member sheets F2 and F3 wider than the display region P4, the optical axis direction changes depending on the positions of the optical member sheets F2 and F3. However, the liquid crystal panel P can be aligned and bonded in accordance with this optical axis direction. Thereby, the precision of the optical axis direction of the optical members F12 and F13 with respect to the liquid crystal panel P can be improved, and the color and contrast of the optical display device can be increased.
Moreover, after bonding liquid crystal panel P to optical member sheet | seat F2, F3 larger than display area P4, after separating the excess part Y of optical member sheet | seat F2, F3, the optical member F12 of the size corresponding to display area P4 , F13 can be formed on the surface of the liquid crystal panel P. Thereby, the optical members F12 and F13 can be provided with high precision up to the display area P4, and the frame portion G outside the display area P4 can be narrowed to enlarge the display area and downsize the device.
And when recovering the surplus part Y cut off from the optical member sheets F2 and F3, the downstream part y2 of the surplus part Y is peeled off, and the upstream part y1 of the surplus part Y is peeled off, so that these downstream parts Even when an elongated side piece y3 is formed between the piece y2 and the upstream piece y1, the downstream piece y2 and the upstream piece y1 are separated through the side piece y3. In addition, it is possible to prevent the recovery operation from being interrupted due to the disconnection between the downstream side piece y2 and the connection between the upstream side piece y1 and the side piece y3, and the excess portion Y can be recovered continuously without interruption.

また、上記光学部材貼合体の製造装置は、前記下流側剥離装置が、前記部品幅方向に沿って配置された押さえロール15e,18eを含む回収部15d,18dであり、前記押さえロール15e,18eが、前記余剰部分Yの前記下流側片y2に接した状態で、前記搬送方向に倣って回転し、前記下流側片y2を剥離させるものである。
この構成によれば、光学部材シートF2,F3の余剰部分Yの下流側片y2を剥離させる際、その剥離に要する力の向きを液晶パネルPの垂直方向ではなく押さえロール15e,18eの接線方向とすることができ、余剰部分Yを剥離させる力による液晶パネルPの積層構造の損傷を防止できる。
