1. A method for manufacturing an optical display device by sequentially peeling a plurality of optical film sheets together with an adhesive layer from a carrier film, the optical film sheets being continuously supported via the adhesive layer on one of opposite surfaces of a long web of the carrier film which configures an optical film laminate, and laminating the plurality of optical film sheets to one of opposite surfaces of respective ones of a plurality of panel components via the adhesive layer by using lamination rollers configured to open/close and a movable peeling member having a tip-end capable of going in/out of a space formed between the lamination rollers:
a first step of switching the lamination rollers to non-active and opening the lamination rollers after completing lamination of a preceding optical film sheet to one of opposite surfaces of a preceding panel component at the predetermined laminating position; a second step of moving the movable peeling member from an operation-start position to a space formed between the lamination rollers, stopping a tip-end configuring a head portion of the movable peeling member at least at a predetermined laminating position or at a position exceeding therefrom, and winding or unwinding the carrier film in a state where one surface thereof folded to inside at the tip-end and passed around the movable peeling member, for forwardly feeding a leading end of the optical film sheet supported on the carrier film to the predetermined laminating position; a third step of operating a film leading end detecting means to read the leading end of the optical film sheet when the leading end of the optical film sheet supported on the carrier film is stopped at the predetermined laminating position; a fourth step of forwardly feeding the panel component to be laminated to the optical film sheet from a predetermined waiting position to the predetermined laminating position; and a fifth step of moving the movable peeling member from the space to the operation-start position interlockingly with winding the carrier film, and peeling the leading end of the optical film sheet together with the adhesive layer from the carrier film while the leading end of the optical film sheet being retained at the predetermined laminating position; a sixth step of closing the space formed between the lamination rollers and switching the lamination rollers to active when the panel component reaches to the predetermined laminating position where the leading end of the optical film sheet is retained, and starting a laminating operation of the lamination rollers; a seventh step of laminating the optical film sheet and the panel component via the adhesive layer while further peeling the optical film sheet together with the adhesive layer from the carrier film by further winding the carrier film. |
