CUTTING METHOD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SHEET MEMBER, SHEET MEMBER, OPTICAL ELEMENT, AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

An end face of a sheet member is cut while rotating a cutting member having a rotation axis extending along a vertical direction of the end face of the sheet member and a cutting blade projecting to a side of the end face of the sheet member around the rotation axis. The cutting member is moved relatively to the sheet member along a longitudinal direction of the end face to be cut. The part separated from a virtual line parallel to the sheet face and passing the rotation center in a cutting region formed by the rotating cutting blade is made to contact the end face of the sheet member.
