OPTICAL MEMBER ADHERING METHOD, AND APPARATUS USING THE METHOD

摘要

A band-shaped polarization film (F), which has a protection film extended on one face and a separator extended on the other face, is let off and fed from a film feeding unit (1), and is subjected to a visual inspection. The protection film and the polarization film (F) are then half-cut by a laser device (11) while leaving the separator. After this, the films are transferred and guided to a peeling mechanism (4) so that the polarization film (F) is fed, while the separator being peeled by a knife edge, into an adhering mechanism (5). In synchronism with this feeding action of the polarization film (F), a liquid crystal panel (W) fed from a panel transfer device (18) is transferred and guided to the adhering mechanism (5), and the polarization film (F) is adhered to the liquid crystal panel (W).
