The ply (first optical component F11) is bonded to the upper side of the liquid crystal panel P.

層片搬送裝置31係以分離層片F3a作為載件來搬送貼合層片F5,具備有:捲出部31a,係保持捲繞有條狀第一光學組件層F1之料捲滾筒R1,且沿第一光學組件層F1之長邊方向將第一光學組件層F1捲出;切斷裝置31b,對從料捲滾筒R1捲出之第一光學組件層F1施以半切斷;刀刃31c,使得施以半切斷後之第一光學組件層F1呈銳角地捲繞過,以使貼合層片F5從分離層片F3a處分離;以及捲取部31d,保持捲取通過刀刃31c後獨自存在之分離層片F3a的分離滾筒R2。In the layer sheet conveying device 31, the bonding layer sheet F5 is conveyed by using the separation layer sheet F3a as a carrier, and the winding portion 31a is provided to hold the roll drum R1 around which the strip-shaped first optical unit layer F1 is wound, and The first optical component layer F1 is wound up along the longitudinal direction of the first optical component layer F1; the cutting device 31b applies a half cut to the first optical component layer F1 unwound from the takeup roll R1; the blade 31c makes The first optical component layer F1 after being half-cut is wound at an acute angle to separate the bonding layer sheet F5 from the separation layer sheet F3a; and the winding portion 31d is kept separated by the winding portion 31c. Separation drum R2 of layer F3a.

另外,雖然圖式中省略,但層片搬送裝置31具有複數個導引滾筒,係沿特定之搬送路線捲繞有第一光學組件層F1。第一光學組件層F1在與其搬送方向垂直之水平方向(層片寬度方向)上,具有與液晶面板P之顯示區域P4寬度(相當於本實施形態中顯示區域P4之短邊長度)相等的寬度。Further, although not shown in the drawings, the layer sheet conveying device 31 has a plurality of guide rollers, and the first optical module layer F1 is wound along a specific conveyance path. The first optical module layer F1 has a width equal to the width of the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P (corresponding to the short side length of the display region P4 in the present embodiment) in the horizontal direction (ply width direction) perpendicular to the conveyance direction. .

位於層片搬送裝置31起點之捲出部31a與位於層片搬送裝置31終點之捲取部31d係例如為相互同步驅動。藉此,捲出部31a係朝第一光學組件層F1之搬送方向捲出第一光學組件層F1,且捲取部31d則捲取通過刀刃31c後的分離層片F3a。以下,於層片搬送裝置31中,第一光學組件層F1(分離層片F3a)之搬送方向上游側稱作層片搬送上游側,搬送方向下游側稱作層片搬送下游側。The winding portion 31a located at the beginning of the layer conveying device 31 and the winding portion 31d at the end of the layer conveying device 31 are, for example, driven in synchronization with each other. Thereby, the unwinding portion 31a winds up the first optical component layer F1 in the conveyance direction of the first optical component layer F1, and the winding portion 31d winds up the separation layer F3a which passes through the blade 31c. In the layer conveyance device 31, the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the first optical module layer F1 (separation layer sheet F3a) is referred to as the layer conveyance upstream side, and the downstream side in the conveyance direction is referred to as the sheet conveyance downstream side.

切斷裝置31b係每次在與層片寬度方向垂直之長度方向上,將第一光學組件層F1捲出達顯示區域P4之長度(相當於本實施形態中顯示區域P4之長邊長度)相等之長度時,沿層片寬度方向上,橫跨第一光學組件層F1層片寬度方向上之整體寬度,切斷(施以半切斷)第一光學組件層F1厚度方向之一部分。The cutting device 31b winds the first optical component layer F1 up to the length of the display region P4 (corresponding to the length of the long side of the display region P4 in the present embodiment) in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the layer width direction. In the case of the length, the entire width of the first optical component layer F1 in the sheet width direction is traversed in the width direction of the layer, and one portion of the thickness direction of the first optical component layer F1 is cut (halved).

切斷裝置31b係透過第一光學組件層F1搬送中的張力,在不使得第一光學組件層F1(分離層片F3a)破損斷裂的情況下(殘留有特定厚度之分離層片F3a),調整切斷刀片的前後位置,施以該半切斷,深至黏著層F2a與分離層片F3a交界面附近。另外,亦可使用雷射裝置代替切斷刀片。The cutting device 31b transmits the tension in the first optical component layer F1, and does not cause the first optical component layer F1 (the separation layer F3a) to be broken or broken (the separation layer F3a having a specific thickness remains). The front and rear positions of the blade are cut, and the half cut is applied to the vicinity of the interface between the adhesive layer F2a and the separation layer F3a. Alternatively, a laser device can be used instead of cutting the blade.

經半切斷後之第一光學組件層F1中,於其厚度方向切斷光學組件本體F1a及表面保護薄膜F4a,以形成橫跨第一光學組件層F1之層片寬度方向上整體寬度的橫切線。第一光學組件層F1係藉由該橫切線,在長邊方向上劃分出具有相當於顯示區域P4之長邊長度的分區。該分區係各自為貼合層片F5中的一個層片(第一光學組件F11)。In the first optical component layer F1 after the half-cut, the optical module body F1a and the surface protective film F4a are cut in the thickness direction thereof to form a transverse line across the entire width of the first optical component layer F1 in the layer width direction. The first optical component layer F1 is divided into sections having a length corresponding to the long side of the display region P4 in the longitudinal direction by the transverse line. The partitions are each one of the plies (first optical component F11) of the ply F5.

刀刃31c係位於從第6圖左側朝右側略呈水平地搬送之第一光學組件層F1下方,於第一光學組件層F1之層片寬度方向上至少橫跨延伸其整體寬度地形成。刀刃31c係於半切斷後之第一光學組件層F1的分離層片F3a側呈滑動接觸地使其捲繞過此銳角。The blade 31c is located below the first optical component layer F1 which is conveyed slightly horizontally from the left side to the right side of FIG. 6, and is formed to extend at least across the entire width of the first optical component layer F1 in the layer width direction. The blade 31c is wound in such a manner that it is wound in a sliding contact with the side of the separation layer F3a of the first optical component layer F1 after the half cutting.

刀刃31c係讓第一光學組件層F1呈銳角地捲繞過其銳角狀之前端部。第一光學組件層F1於刀刃31c之前端部處呈銳角地折返時,分離層片F3a會從貼合層片F5處剝離。此時,貼合層片F5之黏著層F2a(與液晶面板P之貼合面)係朝向下方。刀刃31c之前端部正上方為分離層片剝離位置31e,後述貼合頭32之圓弧狀保持面32a從上方接觸到該刀刃31c之前端部,使得貼合層片F5之層片的表面保護薄膜F4a(與貼合面的相反側之面)黏著至貼合頭32之保持面32a。The blade 31c winds the first optical component layer F1 at an acute angle to its sharp-angled front end. When the first optical component layer F1 is folded back at an acute angle at the front end of the blade 31c, the separation layer F3a is peeled off from the bonding layer F5. At this time, the adhesive layer F2a of the bonding layer sheet F5 (the bonding surface with the liquid crystal panel P) faces downward. Immediately above the front end portion of the blade 31c is a separation layer peeling position 31e, and an arc-shaped holding surface 32a of the bonding head 32, which will be described later, comes into contact with the front end portion of the blade 31c from above, so that the surface of the laminated sheet F5 is protected. The film F4a (the side opposite to the bonding surface) is adhered to the holding surface 32a of the bonding head 32.

貼合部40具有:貼合台41,係保持著貼合時之液晶面板P;貼合頭32,係具有與該層片寬度方向平行且朝下方呈凸出之圓弧狀保持面32a;驅動裝置42,係迴轉驅動貼合頭32;以及移動裝置44,係經由驅動裝置42使貼合頭32移動。驅動裝置42及移動裝置44係電性連接至控制裝置25。控制裝置25係可各自獨立地進行驅動裝置42及移動裝置44之驅動控制。The bonding unit 40 has a bonding table 41 for holding the liquid crystal panel P at the time of bonding, and a bonding head 32 having an arc-shaped holding surface 32a which is parallel to the width direction of the layer and protrudes downward; The driving device 42 is a rotary drive bonding head 32; and the moving device 44 moves the bonding head 32 via the driving device 42. The driving device 42 and the mobile device 44 are electrically connected to the control device 25. The control device 25 can independently drive and control the drive device 42 and the mobile device 44.

貼合台41係用於保持著貼合有貼合層片F5之液晶面板P。貼合台41係例如藉由吸附作用保持著液晶面板P。 貼合頭32係與該層片寬度方向平行且於下方具有凸出之圓弧狀保持面32a。保持面32a具有例如較貼合層片F5之貼合面(黏著層F2a)更弱的黏著力,可將貼合層片F5之表面保護薄膜F4a重複進行黏著、剝離。The bonding table 41 is for holding the liquid crystal panel P to which the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded. The bonding table 41 holds the liquid crystal panel P by, for example, adsorption. The bonding head 32 is a circular arc-shaped holding surface 32a which is parallel to the width direction of the layer and has a convex shape below. The holding surface 32a has a weaker adhesive force than the bonding surface (adhesive layer F2a) of the bonding layer sheet F5, for example, and the surface protective film F4a of the bonding layer sheet F5 can be repeatedly adhered and peeled off.

驅動裝置42讓貼合頭32進行迴轉驅動,使其於刀刃31c上方,以沿著該層片寬度方向之軸為中心地,與該長度方向平行且沿保持面32a之彎曲而傾斜移動。又,驅動裝置42使貼合頭32進行特定距離的升降動作。在黏著保持著貼合層片F5時,及將黏著保持之貼合層片F5而如後述地貼合至液晶面板P時,以驅動裝置42進行貼合頭32之傾斜移動。The driving device 42 rotates the bonding head 32 so as to be inclined above the blade 31c so as to be parallel to the longitudinal direction and to be inclined along the bending of the holding surface 32a around the axis in the layer width direction. Further, the drive unit 42 causes the bonding head 32 to perform a lifting operation at a specific distance. When the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered and the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered and adhered to the liquid crystal panel P as will be described later, the driving device 42 performs the tilting movement of the bonding head 32.

移動裝置44具有:設置於貼合台41及層片搬送裝置31之間上方的導軌44a;致動器等動力部44b;以及可藉由該動力部44b沿導軌44a進行移動的手臂部43。貼合頭32係藉由驅動裝置42而安裝至手臂部43前端。另外,圖式中雖省略,移動裝置44係沿貫穿紙面方向(貼合層片F5之寬度方向)上延伸設置有導軌44a,手臂部43亦可為沿紙面貫穿方向(貼合層片F5之寬度方向)上進行移動的結構。The moving device 44 includes a guide rail 44a that is disposed above the bonding table 41 and the layer transfer device 31, a power unit 44b such as an actuator, and an arm portion 43 that can be moved along the guide rail 44a by the power unit 44b. The bonding head 32 is attached to the front end of the arm portion 43 by the driving device 42. In addition, in the drawings, the moving device 44 is provided with a guide rail 44a extending in the paper surface direction (the width direction of the bonding layer sheet F5), and the arm portion 43 may be in the paper surface running direction (the bonding layer sheet F5) Structure that moves in the width direction).

移動裝置44係沿著導軌44a移動手臂部43,藉以讓貼合頭32在層片搬送裝置31與貼合台41之間進行移動。即,移動裝置44可讓貼合頭32在貼合層片F5之分離層片F3a的剝離位置與往貼合層片F5之液晶面板P的貼合位置(貼合台41)之間進行相對移動。The moving device 44 moves the arm portion 43 along the guide rail 44a, thereby moving the bonding head 32 between the sheet conveying device 31 and the bonding table 41. In other words, the moving device 44 allows the bonding head 32 to be opposed to the bonding position of the separation layer sheet F3a of the bonding layer sheet F5 and the bonding position of the liquid crystal panel P to the bonding layer sheet F5 (the bonding table 41). mobile.

另外,本實施形態中,驅動裝置42具有讓貼合頭32進行升降之功能,但亦可由移動裝置44(手臂部43)具備讓貼合頭32進行升降之功能。Further, in the present embodiment, the driving device 42 has a function of moving the bonding head 32 up and down. However, the moving device 44 (arm portion 43) may have a function of moving the bonding head 32 up and down.

移動裝置44係將手臂部43(貼合頭32)移動至分離層片F3a之剝離位置的刀刃31c之前端部。此時,驅動裝置42係使貼合頭32進行迴轉,直至保持面32a朝向下方,且保持面32a之彎曲一端側(第6圖之右側)為下側的傾斜狀態。The moving device 44 moves the arm portion 43 (the bonding head 32) to the front end portion of the blade edge 31c at the peeling position of the separation layer sheet F3a. At this time, the drive unit 42 rotates the bonding head 32 until the holding surface 32a faces downward, and the curved end side (the right side of FIG. 6) of the holding surface 32a is a lower inclined state.

驅動裝置42係從分離層片剝離位置31e上方使上述傾斜狀態之貼合頭32下降,藉以從上方將保持面32a之彎曲一端側抵貼至刀刃31c之前端部,而將分離層片剝離位置31e處的貼合層片F5之前端部黏著至保持面32a。The driving device 42 lowers the bonding head 32 in the inclined state from above the separation layer peeling position 31e, thereby abutting the curved one end side of the holding surface 32a from the upper side to the front end of the blade 31c, and separating the separation layer. The front end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 at 31e is adhered to the holding surface 32a.

本實施形態中,於刀刃31c之前端部下方處,設置有於該部位檢測出貼合層片F5之層片之層片搬送下游側前端的第一檢測攝影機34。 第一檢測攝影機34之檢測資料係傳送至控制裝置25。控制裝置25於例如第一檢測攝影機34檢測貼合層片F5之下游側端的時點時,係暫時停止層片搬送裝置31。In the present embodiment, the first detecting camera 34 that detects the leading end of the layer transport downstream side of the layer of the bonded layer sheet F5 at the portion below the end portion of the blade 31c is provided. The detection data of the first detection camera 34 is transmitted to the control device 25. When the first detecting camera 34 detects the downstream end of the bonding layer sheet F5, for example, the control device 25 temporarily stops the layer sheet conveying device 31.

在第一檢測攝影機34檢測出貼合層片F5之下游側端並暫時停止層片搬送裝置31時,控制裝置25係藉由切斷裝置31b實施貼合層片F5之切斷。即,沿第一檢測攝影機34之檢測位置(第一檢測攝影機34之光軸延長位置)與沿切斷裝置31b之切斷位置(切斷裝置31b之切斷刀片之前後位置)間的層片搬送路線之距離係相當於貼合層片F5之層片的長度。When the first detecting camera 34 detects the downstream side end of the bonding layer sheet F5 and temporarily stops the layer sheet conveying device 31, the control device 25 performs cutting of the bonding layer sheet F5 by the cutting device 31b. That is, the layer between the detection position of the first detection camera 34 (the optical axis extension position of the first detection camera 34) and the cutting position along the cutting device 31b (the position before and after the cutting blade of the cutting device 31b) The distance of the transport route corresponds to the length of the layer of the laminated layer F5.

切斷裝置31b可沿層片搬送路線移動,藉由該移動使得沿第一檢測攝影機34之檢測位置與切斷裝置31b之切斷位置間的層片搬送路線之距離產生改變。切斷裝置31b之移動係透過控制裝置25所控制,在以例如切斷裝置31b進行貼合層片F5的切斷之後,捲出一個貼合層片F5之層片的距離時,當其切斷端與特定基準位置間有偏差的情況中,便藉由切斷裝置31b之移動來補正該偏差。另外,亦可藉由切斷裝置31b的移動來對應長度相異之貼合層片F5的切斷。The cutting device 31b is movable along the layer transport path, and the distance between the detection position of the first detecting camera 34 and the cutting conveyance path between the cutting positions of the cutting device 31b is changed by the movement. The movement of the cutting device 31b is controlled by the control device 25, and when the bonding layer sheet F5 is cut by, for example, the cutting device 31b, the distance of the layer of the laminated layer sheet F5 is rolled up, and when it is cut, In the case where there is a deviation between the broken end and the specific reference position, the deviation is corrected by the movement of the cutting device 31b. Further, the cutting of the bonding layer sheet F5 having a different length may be performed by the movement of the cutting device 31b.

第一檢測攝影機34亦可檢測出印於貼合層片F5之缺陷標誌。該缺陷標誌在料捲滾筒R1製造時,係對於第一光學組件層F1中發現缺陷部位處,從該表面保護薄膜F4a側藉由噴墨等加以標記。The first detecting camera 34 can also detect the defect mark printed on the bonding layer F5. This defect mark is marked by inkjet or the like from the side of the surface protective film F4a when the defect roll is found in the first optical component layer F1 at the time of manufacture of the roll reel R1.

此處,光學組件層FX之缺陷係例如於光學組件層FX內部處存在由固體與液體與氣體至少一者組成之異物的部分,或於光學組件層FX表面處存在凹凸或傷痕的部分,因光學組件層FX歪斜或材質偏差等導致之亮點的部分等。Here, the defect of the optical component layer FX is, for example, a portion where the solid matter is composed of a foreign matter composed of at least one of a liquid and a gas, or a portion where the surface of the optical component layer FX has irregularities or flaws, because The portion of the optical component layer FX skewed by a skew or material deviation, etc.

控制裝置25藉由驅動裝置42使貼合頭32下降,並將貼合層片F5之前端部黏著至保持面32a後,切斷驅動裝置42與貼合頭32的銜接。藉此,使得貼合頭32自由地傾斜移動。於該狀態中,層片搬送裝置31係進行貼合層片F5之捲出動作。The control device 25 lowers the bonding head 32 by the driving device 42, and adheres the front end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 to the holding surface 32a, and then disconnects the driving device 42 from the bonding head 32. Thereby, the fitting head 32 is freely tilted and moved. In this state, the layer sheet conveying device 31 performs the winding operation of the bonding layer sheet F5.

此時,由於切斷貼合頭32與驅動裝置42的銜接而自由地傾斜移動,故被動地伴隨貼合層片F5之捲出而傾斜移動。如此,捲出貼合層片F5並使貼合頭32傾斜移動,藉以讓貼合層片F5之層片整體黏著至保持面32a。當貼合頭32傾斜移動直到貼合層片F5整體黏著至保持面32a後,於該傾斜狀態下藉由例如與驅動裝置42之銜接來鎖死該傾斜移動。驅動裝置42係於該狀態下使貼合頭32朝分離層片剝離位置31e往上方上升。其後,移動裝置44係使手臂部43(貼合頭32)往貼合台41上進行移動,而如後述地將黏著有貼合頭32之貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P。At this time, since the cutting bonding head 32 is movably tilted by the engagement with the driving device 42, the tilting movement is passively accompanied by the unwinding of the bonding layer sheet F5. In this manner, the bonding layer sheet F5 is taken up and the bonding head 32 is tilted and moved, whereby the layer of the bonding layer sheet F5 is entirely adhered to the holding surface 32a. When the fitting head 32 is tilted until the bonding layer F5 is entirely adhered to the holding surface 32a, the tilting movement is locked in the inclined state by, for example, engagement with the driving device 42. In this state, the driving device 42 raises the bonding head 32 upward toward the separation layer peeling position 31e. Thereafter, the moving device 44 moves the arm portion 43 (the bonding head 32) onto the bonding table 41, and the bonding layer sheet F5 to which the bonding head 32 is adhered is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P as will be described later.

另外,如上述地檢測出該缺陷標誌之貼合層片F5在黏著至貼合頭32之後,不貼合至液晶面板P,而是移動至避開貼合台41的捨棄位置(廢棄位置),重疊貼合至廢料層片等處。或者,在檢測出缺陷標誌時,亦可設有將貼合層片F5以最小寬度切斷而捨棄的工程。Further, after the bonding layer sheet F5 which has detected the defect mark as described above is adhered to the liquid crystal panel P after being adhered to the bonding head 32, it is moved to the disposal position (discarded position) which avoids the bonding table 41. , overlap and attach to the waste layer and so on. Alternatively, when the defect mark is detected, a process of cutting the laminated layer sheet F5 with a minimum width and discarding it may be provided.

於本實施形態中,黏著有貼合層片F5之貼合頭32從分離層剝離位置31e朝貼合台41上移動時,黏著保持於保持面32a的貼合層片F5之例如相對該前端部的近端部之兩角部,係各自以一對之第二檢測攝影機35進行拍攝。各第二檢測攝影機35之檢測資料係傳送至控制裝置25。控制裝置25係例如根據各第二檢測攝影機35之攝影資料,確認相對貼合頭32的貼合層片F5之水平方向(貼合頭32移動方向及其垂直方向以及垂直軸中心之迴轉方向)位置。在貼合頭32及貼合層片F5之相對位置具有偏差的情況中,控制裝置25係藉由驅動裝置42,以相對貼合頭32之貼合層片F5的位置作為特定基準位置般進行位置校準。In the present embodiment, when the bonding head 32 to which the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered is moved from the separation layer peeling position 31e toward the bonding table 41, for example, the bonding layer sheet F5 adhered to the holding surface 32a is opposed to the front end. The two corner portions of the proximal portion of the portion are each photographed by a pair of second detecting cameras 35. The detection data of each of the second detecting cameras 35 is transmitted to the control device 25. The control device 25 confirms, for example, the horizontal direction of the bonding layer sheet F5 of the bonding head 32 (the moving direction of the bonding head 32 and its vertical direction and the rotation direction of the center of the vertical axis) based on the imaging data of each of the second detecting cameras 35. position. In the case where the relative positions of the bonding head 32 and the bonding layer sheet F5 are different, the control device 25 performs the position of the bonding layer sheet F5 of the bonding head 32 as the specific reference position by the driving device 42. Position calibration.

控制裝置25係使貼合頭32移動至貼合台41上方之特定位置為止。移動裝置44係例如進行貼合頭32與貼合台41之位置校準,使得黏著於保持面32a的貼合層片F5之前端部與保持在貼合台41上的液晶面板P端部之位置能於平面上呈重疊狀。The control device 25 moves the bonding head 32 to a specific position above the bonding table 41. The moving device 44 performs, for example, position alignment of the bonding head 32 and the bonding table 41 so that the front end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 adhered to the holding surface 32a and the end portion of the liquid crystal panel P held on the bonding table 41 are positioned. Can overlap on the plane.

控制裝置25係於貼合時,藉由驅動裝置42使傾斜狀態之貼合頭32下降,藉以呈現將黏著於保持面32a的貼合層片F5之前端部從上方抵貼至液晶面板P端部的狀態。驅動裝置42係使貼合頭32下降,呈現讓貼合層片F5壓抵至液晶面板P的狀態。此時,控制裝置25係使貼合頭32與驅動裝置42進行銜接,而可將來自驅動裝置42之驅動力傳導至貼合頭32。When the control device 25 is attached, the bonding head 32 in the inclined state is lowered by the driving device 42, whereby the end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 adhered to the holding surface 32a is abutted from the upper side to the liquid crystal panel P end. The state of the department. The driving device 42 lowers the bonding head 32 and assumes a state in which the bonding layer sheet F5 is pressed against the liquid crystal panel P. At this time, the control device 25 causes the bonding head 32 to be engaged with the driving device 42, and the driving force from the driving device 42 can be transmitted to the bonding head 32.

第7圖係第一貼合裝置13之貼合動作的說明用圖。另外,於本說明書中,在黏著於貼合頭32之貼合層片F5處,從料捲滾筒R1捲出時不會產生變形(翹曲)或者產生非常小的變形。Fig. 7 is a view for explaining the bonding operation of the first bonding apparatus 13. Further, in the present specification, at the bonding layer sheet F5 adhered to the bonding head 32, deformation (warpage) or very small deformation does not occur when being unwound from the roll drum R1.

於本實施形態中,控制裝置25係使驅動裝置42及移動裝置44進行獨立驅動。具體而言,如第7圖所示,控制裝置25係於貼合時,控制驅動裝置42及移動裝置44,將貼合層片F5壓抵至液晶面板P,並藉由貼合頭32及液晶面板P之相對移動,於貼合時沿著從保持面32a往液晶面板P之貼合層片F5的前進方向而產生力矩。藉此,貼合頭32係於產生該力矩之狀態下於液晶面板P上進行傾斜移動(參考第6圖)。In the present embodiment, the control device 25 drives the drive device 42 and the mobile device 44 independently. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 , the control device 25 controls the driving device 42 and the moving device 44 to press the bonding layer sheet F5 against the liquid crystal panel P by the bonding head 32 and The relative movement of the liquid crystal panel P generates a moment along the advancing direction of the bonding layer sheet F5 from the holding surface 32a to the liquid crystal panel P at the time of bonding. Thereby, the bonding head 32 is tilted on the liquid crystal panel P in a state in which the moment is generated (refer to FIG. 6).

此處,往液晶面板P之貼合層片F5的前進方向係指例如:將貼合層片F5從液晶面板P一端側貼合至另一端側時,自該一端側朝向該另一端側的方向,或者,從該另一端側朝向該一端側的方向。在貼合層片F5相對貼合頭32沒有黏著偏差的情況下,與貼合頭32之迴轉軸垂直的水平面內方向(第7圖之左右方向)則為前進方向。Here, the advancing direction of the bonding layer sheet F5 of the liquid crystal panel P is, for example, when the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded from the one end side of the liquid crystal panel P to the other end side, from the one end side toward the other end side. The direction, or the direction from the other end side toward the one end side. When the bonding layer sheet F5 has no adhesion deviation with respect to the bonding head 32, the in-plane direction (the horizontal direction in FIG. 7) perpendicular to the rotation axis of the bonding head 32 is the forward direction.

貼合頭32係於貼合時施加該力矩,讓液晶面板P之端面接觸到保持組件39。保持組件39可設置於貼合台41處,亦可設置於其它裝置處。據此,於貼合時讓液晶面板P之端面受保持組件39之支撐,故能以貼合頭32良好地施加該力矩。另外,例如貼合台41之液晶面板P的吸附作用很強,即使施加力矩,液晶面板P之貼合台41上的吸附位置也不會產生偏差的情況中,則不一定需要保持組件39。The bonding head 32 applies the moment when it is attached, and the end surface of the liquid crystal panel P is brought into contact with the holding member 39. The holding assembly 39 can be disposed at the bonding table 41 or at other devices. According to this, the end surface of the liquid crystal panel P is supported by the holding member 39 at the time of bonding, so that the moment can be favorably applied by the bonding head 32. Further, for example, the liquid crystal panel P of the bonding table 41 has a strong adsorption effect, and even if a moment is applied, the adsorption position on the bonding table 41 of the liquid crystal panel P does not vary, and the holding member 39 is not necessarily required.

此處,說明在沒有施加上述力矩的狀態下進行貼合動作的情況,以作為比較。該情況中,係切斷貼合頭32與驅動裝置42之銜接,在讓貼合頭32自由地傾斜移動的狀態下,使移動裝置44進行移動,以進行貼合動作。Here, a case where the bonding operation is performed in a state where the above-described torque is not applied will be described as a comparison. In this case, the cutting head 32 is brought into contact with the driving device 42, and the moving device 44 is moved to perform the bonding operation while the bonding head 32 is freely tilted.

如此不針對貼合頭32施加該力矩,藉由保持於貼合頭32之貼合層片F5會讓液晶面板P往斜後方拉伸的狀態下進行貼合。因此,通常,貼合有貼合層片F5之液晶面板P產生朝上方側之變形(以下,稱為上變形之情況)的可能性很高。In this way, the moment is not applied to the bonding head 32, and the bonding layer sheet F5 held by the bonding head 32 is bonded while the liquid crystal panel P is stretched obliquely rearward. Therefore, in general, the liquid crystal panel P to which the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded is highly deformed toward the upper side (hereinafter, referred to as an upper deformation).

對此,本實施形態中,如第7圖所示,係各自獨立地控制移動裝置44及驅動裝置42,使得施加至貼合頭32之力矩,在與液晶面板P之自貼合層片F5接收之往貼合頭32側的拉伸應力之間取得平衡。因此,藉由施加有該力矩之狀態的貼合頭32之傾斜移動而貼合至液晶面板P的貼合層片F5,可抑制施加至液晶面板P表面的應力(拉伸力)。On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, the moving device 44 and the driving device 42 are independently controlled so that the moment applied to the bonding head 32 is applied to the self-adhesive layer F5 of the liquid crystal panel P. A balance is obtained between the tensile stresses received on the side of the bonding head 32. Therefore, the bonding layer sheet F5 bonded to the liquid crystal panel P by the tilting movement of the bonding head 32 in the state in which the moment is applied can suppress the stress (tensile force) applied to the surface of the liquid crystal panel P.

又,控制裝置25係根據貼合層片F5之條件(例如,材質、厚度、翹曲狀態等),對驅動裝置42及移動裝置44之驅動條件(例如,貼合頭32之移動量、移動速度、迴轉量或迴轉速度等)進行適當變更,可藉以調整施加至貼合頭32之力矩。藉此,第一貼合裝置13可讓貼合層片F5貼合後於液晶面板P所產生的變形量抑制在一定範圍內。此處,一定範圍內之變形量係指於液晶面板P所產生之變形對實際使用上不會造成問題的程度。Moreover, the control device 25 drives the driving device 42 and the moving device 44 according to the conditions (for example, material, thickness, warpage state, and the like) of the bonding layer sheet F5 (for example, the amount of movement and movement of the bonding head 32) The torque applied to the fitting head 32 can be adjusted by appropriately changing the speed, the amount of rotation, or the turning speed. Thereby, the first bonding apparatus 13 can suppress the amount of deformation generated in the liquid crystal panel P after the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded, within a certain range. Here, the amount of deformation within a certain range means that the deformation generated by the liquid crystal panel P does not cause a problem in practical use.

又,於本實施形態中,第一貼合裝置13係於貼合位置之貼合台41上方,設置有用於進行液晶面板P之水平方向的位置校準之一對第三檢測攝影機36(參考第5圖、第6圖)。於第二貼合裝置15處,於同一貼合位置之貼合台41上方,設置有用於進行液晶面板P之水平方向的位置校準之一對第四檢測攝影機37(參考第5圖)。各第三檢測攝影機36係各自拍攝例如液晶面板P之玻璃基板(第一基板P1)中之第5圖中左側的兩角部,各第四檢測攝影機37係各自拍攝例如液晶面板P之玻璃基板中第5圖中左側的兩角部。Further, in the present embodiment, the first bonding apparatus 13 is disposed above the bonding table 41 at the bonding position, and is provided with one of the positional calibrations for performing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal panel P to the third detecting camera 36 (refer to 5, 6)). At the second bonding apparatus 15, above the bonding table 41 at the same bonding position, a pair of fourth detection cameras 37 for performing positional alignment in the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal panel P are provided (refer to FIG. 5). Each of the third detecting cameras 36 captures, for example, the two corners on the left side in the fifth drawing of the glass substrate (first substrate P1) of the liquid crystal panel P, and each of the fourth detecting cameras 37 respectively photographs a glass substrate such as the liquid crystal panel P. The two corners on the left side in the fifth picture.

於第三貼合裝置18處,於同一貼合位置之貼合台41上方,設置有用於進行液晶面板P之水平方向的位置校準之一對第五檢測攝影機38(參考第5圖)。各第五檢測攝影機38係各自拍攝例如液晶面板P之玻璃基板中之第5圖中左側的兩角部。各檢測攝影機(第一檢測攝影機34至第五檢測攝影機38)之檢測資料係傳送至控制裝置25。另外,亦可使用感測器代替各檢測攝影機(第一檢測攝影機34至第五檢測攝影機38)。At the third bonding apparatus 18, one of the positional calibrations for performing the horizontal alignment of the liquid crystal panel P on the fifth bonding camera 38 (refer to FIG. 5) is provided above the bonding table 41 at the same bonding position. Each of the fifth detecting cameras 38 captures, for example, the two corner portions on the left side in the fifth drawing of the glass substrate of the liquid crystal panel P. The detection data of each of the detection cameras (the first detection camera 34 to the fifth detection camera 38) is transmitted to the control device 25. Alternatively, a sensor may be used instead of each of the detecting cameras (the first detecting camera 34 to the fifth detecting camera 38).

各貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15、第三貼合裝置18)之貼合台41係根據各檢測攝影機(第一檢測攝影機34至第五檢測攝影機38)之檢測資料,經由控制裝置25所驅動控制。藉此,可進行相對各貼合位置之貼合頭32的液晶面板P之位置校準。The bonding table 41 of each of the bonding devices (the first bonding device 13, the second bonding device 15, and the third bonding device 18) is based on each of the detecting cameras (the first detecting camera 34 to the fifth detecting camera 38). The detection data is driven and controlled by the control device 25. Thereby, the position alignment of the liquid crystal panel P of the bonding head 32 with respect to each bonding position can be performed.

相對該液晶面板P,將經貼合頭32位置校準後的貼合層片F5進行貼合,藉以抑制層片FXm之貼合偏差,可改善相對液晶面板P之光學組件F1X光軸方向的精度,提高光學顯示設備之色彩度及對比。In the liquid crystal panel P, the bonding layer sheet F5 which has been aligned by the bonding head 32 is bonded to each other, thereby suppressing the bonding deviation of the layer sheet FXm, thereby improving the accuracy of the optical axis direction of the optical component F1X with respect to the liquid crystal panel P. Improve the color and contrast of optical display devices.

Next, when the bonding device 25 performs the bonding, the driving device 42 and the moving device 44 are controlled to press the bonding layer sheet F5 against the liquid crystal panel P, and the bonding head 32 and the liquid crystal panel P are opposed to each other. The movement is such that a moment is generated along the advancing direction of the bonding layer sheet F5 from the holding surface 32a to the liquid crystal panel P at the time of bonding.

At the second bonding carry-out/loading position 11d, the liquid crystal panel P is carried into the second bonding apparatus 15 by a transport robot not shown. In the present embodiment, the second bonding apparatus 15 is used to bond the second layer sheet F2m on the backlight side of the liquid crystal panel P. The second layer F2m is a layer of the second optical component layer F2 having a larger size than the display area of the liquid crystal panel P.

At the second cutting position 16d, the third layer piece F3m is cut by the second cutting device 52. The second cutting device 52 cuts off the remaining portion disposed outside the opposing portion of the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P from the third layer sheet F3m bonded to the liquid crystal panel P to form a display region corresponding to the liquid crystal panel P.

Further, the configurations of the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 are not limited thereto, and for example, other cutting mechanisms such as a cutting blade may be used.

第一切斷裝置51以及第二切斷裝置52係沿顯示區域P4之外周緣不間斷地切斷貼合至液晶面板P之層片FXm。第一切斷裝置51與第二切斷裝置52係連接至同一個雷射輸出裝置53。藉由第一切斷裝置51、第二切斷裝置52以及雷射輸出裝置53而構成切斷機構,從層片FXm將配置於顯示區域P4之對向部分外側的剩餘部分切斷,形成對應於顯示區域P4大小的光學組件FX。由於各層片(第一層片F1m、第二層片F2m、第三層片F3m)之切斷所需雷射輸出並不大,故亦可將雷射輸出裝置53所輸出之高輸出雷射光線分歧為二,供給至第一切斷裝置51與第二切斷裝置52。The first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 cut the layer sheet FXm bonded to the liquid crystal panel P without interruption along the outer periphery of the display region P4. The first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 are connected to the same laser output device 53. The first cutting device 51, the second cutting device 52, and the laser output device 53 constitute a cutting mechanism, and the remaining portion disposed outside the opposing portion of the display region P4 is cut off from the layer FXm to form a corresponding portion. The optical component FX is displayed in the size of the display area P4. Since the laser output required for cutting each layer (the first layer F1m, the second layer F2m, and the third layer F3m) is not large, the high output laser output from the laser output device 53 can also be used. The light is divided into two, and is supplied to the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52.

於本實施形態中,第二轉台式機床16係以從第二切斷位置16d朝順時針方向迴轉90°之位置(第9圖之左端部)作為第二轉台終點位置16b。於該第二轉台終點位置16b處,以第四搬送裝置21進行第五光學組件貼合體PA5的搬出動作。In the present embodiment, the second rotary machine tool 16 is rotated at a position 90° clockwise from the second cutting position 16d (the left end portion of the ninth diagram) as the second turret end position 16b.

第四搬送裝置21係可保持液晶面板P(第五光學組件貼合體PA5)而自由地朝垂直方向及水平方向進行搬送。第四搬送裝置21係例如將藉由吸附作用所保持之液晶面板P朝第二副輸送設備7之第二起始位置7a進行搬送,於第二起始位置7a處解除該吸附作用,將液晶面板P傳遞給第二副輸送設備7。The fourth transfer device 21 can hold the liquid crystal panel P (the fifth optical component bonding body PA5) and can be freely transported in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The fourth transport device 21 transports the liquid crystal panel P held by the adsorption to the second home position 7a of the second sub-transport device 7, for example, and releases the adsorption at the second home position 7a to liquidize the liquid crystal panel P. The panel P is delivered to the second sub-conveying device 7.

The fifth transport device 22 transports the liquid crystal panel P held by the adsorption to the end point 5b of the main transport device 5, and releases the suction at the end point 5b to transfer the liquid crystal panel P to the main transport device 5.

於第二轉台終點位置16b以後之液晶面板P(第五光學組件貼合體PA5)搬送路線上設置有圖式中省略之貼合檢查位置,於該貼合檢查位置處,以圖式中省略之檢查裝置對貼合有薄膜之加工件(液晶面板P)進行檢查(光學組件F1X之位置是否適當(位置偏差是否在公差範圍內)等檢查)。相對液晶面板P之光學組件F1X的位置被判斷為不正確的加工件,便透過圖中未顯示之排除部而送出系統外。The bonding inspection position omitted in the drawing is provided on the transport path of the liquid crystal panel P (fifth optical component bonding body PA5) after the second turntable end position 16b, and is omitted in the drawing at the bonding inspection position. The inspection device inspects the workpiece (liquid crystal panel P) to which the film is attached (check whether the position of the optical component F1X is appropriate (whether the positional deviation is within the tolerance) or the like). When the position of the optical module F1X of the liquid crystal panel P is judged to be an incorrect workpiece, it is sent out of the system through the exclusion portion not shown in the drawing.

經由以上完成薄膜貼合系統2之貼合工程。The bonding work of the film bonding system 2 is completed through the above.

以下,列舉以第一貼合裝置13將貼合層片F5對液晶面板P進行之貼合步驟為例來說明。另外,關於與第一貼合裝置13具相同結構之第二貼合裝置15及第三貼合裝置18的貼合工程係省略說明。Hereinafter, the step of bonding the bonding layer sheet F5 to the liquid crystal panel P by the first bonding apparatus 13 will be described as an example. In addition, the description of the bonding work of the second bonding apparatus 15 and the third bonding apparatus 18 having the same configuration as the first bonding apparatus 13 will be omitted.

於本實施形態中,第一貼合裝置13係從第一光學組件層F1切割出較液晶面板P之顯示區域P4更大的貼合層片F5之層片(第一層片F1m),使貼合頭32傾斜移動,藉以黏著於保持面32a。第一貼合裝置13係於貼合台41上之液晶面板P上使貼合頭32傾斜移動,藉以進行貼合層片F5之層片(第一層片F1m)的貼合。In the present embodiment, the first bonding apparatus 13 cuts a layer (first layer sheet F1m) of the bonding layer sheet F5 larger than the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P from the first optical component layer F1, so that The fitting head 32 is tilted to adhere to the holding surface 32a. The first bonding apparatus 13 is configured such that the bonding head 32 is tilted and moved by the liquid crystal panel P on the bonding table 41, whereby the bonding of the layer (first layer sheet F1m) of the bonding layer sheet F5 is performed.

貼合台41係根據各檢測攝影機(第一檢測攝影機34~第五檢測攝影機38)之檢測資料,經由控制裝置25所驅動控制。藉此,進行相對各貼合位置之貼合頭32的液晶面板P之位置校準。The bonding table 41 is driven and controlled by the control device 25 based on the detection data of each of the detection cameras (the first detection camera 34 to the fifth detection camera 38). Thereby, the position alignment of the liquid crystal panel P of the bonding head 32 with respect to each bonding position is performed.

相對該液晶面板P,將經貼合頭32位置校準後的貼合層片F5(層片FXm)進行貼合,藉以抑制光學組件F1X之貼合偏差,可改善相對液晶面板P之光學組件F1X光軸方向的精度,提高光學顯示設備之色彩度及對比。The laminated layer F5 (layer sheet FXm) which has been aligned with the position of the bonding head 32 is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, whereby the bonding deviation of the optical component F1X is suppressed, and the optical component F1X of the liquid crystal panel P can be improved. The accuracy of the optical axis direction improves the color and contrast of the optical display device.

此處,構成光學組件層FX之偏光鏡薄膜係將經二色性色素進行染色之例如聚乙烯醇(PVA)薄膜朝一軸延伸般所製造,由於延伸時會有PVA薄膜厚度不均勻或二色性色素染色不均勻等問題,光學組件層FX面內之光軸方向會有產生偏差的情況。Here, the polarizing film constituting the optical component layer FX is produced by, for example, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film which is dyed by a dichroic dye, and which is made to have a non-uniform thickness or a two-color PVA film. Problems such as uneven dyeing of the pigmentation may cause variations in the optical axis direction in the FX plane of the optical component layer.

故,本實施形態中,控制裝置25係根據預先儲存於儲存裝置24(參考第8圖)的光學組件層FX各部位之光軸面內分佈檢查資料,決定相對光學組件層FX的液晶面板P之貼合位置(相對貼合位置)。接著,各貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15、第三貼合裝置18)係依據該貼合位置,進行相對於從光學組件層FX切割出之層片FXm的液晶面板P位置校準,將液晶面板P貼合至層片FXm。Therefore, in the present embodiment, the control device 25 determines the liquid crystal panel P of the optical component layer FX based on the inspection data distributed in the optical axis plane of each part of the optical component layer FX stored in the storage device 24 (refer to FIG. 8). Fit position (relative fit position). Next, each of the bonding apparatuses (the first bonding apparatus 13, the second bonding apparatus 15, and the third bonding apparatus 18) performs the layer FXm cut out from the optical component layer FX in accordance with the bonding position. The liquid crystal panel P is positionally aligned, and the liquid crystal panel P is attached to the layer FXm.

相對液晶面板P之層片FXm貼合位置(相對貼合位置)的決定方法係例如下述。The method of determining the bonding position (relative bonding position) of the layer sheet FXm with respect to the liquid crystal panel P is as follows.

首先,如第10A圖所示,於光學組件層FX之寬度方向上設定有複數個檢查點CP,於各檢查點CP處檢測出光學組件層FX之光軸方向。檢測光軸的時點可為料捲滾筒R1製造時,亦可為從料捲滾筒R1捲出光學組件層FX進行半切斷前之期間。光學組件層FX之光軸方向的資料係與光學組件層FX位置(光學組件層FX之長邊方向位置以及寬度方向位置)資料連結地儲存於(圖式中省略)儲存裝置。First, as shown in FIG. 10A, a plurality of checkpoints CP are set in the width direction of the optical component layer FX, and the optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX is detected at each checkpoint CP. The time at which the optical axis is detected may be the time when the roll drum R1 is manufactured, or may be the period before the half of the optical unit layer FX is unwound from the roll drum R1. The data in the optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX and the optical component layer FX position (the longitudinal direction position and the width direction position of the optical component layer FX) are stored in association with each other (omitted in the drawing).

控制裝置25係從儲存裝置(圖式中省略)取得各檢查點CP之光軸資料(光軸面內分佈之檢查資料),以檢測出切割出層片FXm之部分的光學組件層FX(以橫切線CL所劃分之區域)之平均光軸方向。The control device 25 acquires the optical axis data (inspection data of the in-plane distribution of the optical axis) of each of the inspection points CP from the storage device (omitted from the drawing) to detect the optical component layer FX of the portion in which the layer FXm is cut out. The average optical axis direction of the area divided by the line CL.

例如,如第10B圖所示,每次於檢查點CP檢測出光軸方向與光學組件層FX之邊緣線EL所夾角度(偏移角),以偏移角中最大角度(最大偏移角)作為θmax,最小角度(最小偏移角)作為θmin時,檢測出最大偏移角θmax與最小偏移角θmin的平均值θmid(=(θmax+θmin)/2)作為平均偏移角。接著,檢測出相對光學組件層FX之邊緣線EL的平均偏移角θmid方向作為光學組件層FX之平均光軸方向。另外,該偏移角係例如以相對光學組件層FX之邊緣線EL,逆時針方向為正角度,順時針方向為負角度而加以算出。For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the angle (offset angle) between the optical axis direction and the edge line EL of the optical component layer FX is detected at the checkpoint CP each time, with the maximum angle (maximum offset angle) among the offset angles. As θmax, when the minimum angle (minimum offset angle) is θmin, the average value θmid (=(θmax+θmin)/2) of the maximum offset angle θmax and the minimum offset angle θmin is detected as the average offset angle. Next, the average offset angle θmid direction of the edge line EL with respect to the optical component layer FX is detected as the average optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX. Further, the offset angle is calculated, for example, by the edge line EL of the optical component layer FX, the counterclockwise direction being a positive angle, and the clockwise direction being a negative angle.

接著,依上述方法所檢測出之光學組件層FX的平均光軸方向,決定相對液晶面板P之層片FXm的貼合位置(相對貼合位置),使得相對液晶面板P之顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊呈目標角度。例如,根據設計規格將光學組件F1X之光軸方向設定為相對顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊呈90°之方向的情況中,光學組件層FX之平均光軸方向係相對顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊呈90°地,將層片FXm貼合液晶面板P。Then, according to the average optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX detected by the above method, the bonding position (relative bonding position) with respect to the layer FXm of the liquid crystal panel P is determined so as to be long with respect to the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P. The edge or short side is at the target angle. For example, in the case where the optical axis direction of the optical component F1X is set to be 90° with respect to the long side or the short side of the display region P4 according to the design specification, the average optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX is longer than the display region P4. The layer FXm is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P with the side or the short side at 90°.

於本實施形態中,係各自獨立地控制移動裝置44及驅動裝置42,用以將力矩施加至貼合頭32。藉此,可於液晶面板P處調整自黏著於貼合頭32之第一層片F1m接收之往貼合頭側的拉伸應力之平衡。 因此,於本實施形態中,可讓第一層片F1m貼合後於液晶面板P所產生的變形量維持在一定範圍內。In the present embodiment, the moving device 44 and the driving device 42 are independently controlled to apply a moment to the bonding head 32. Thereby, the balance of the tensile stress received from the first layer sheet F1m adhered to the bonding head 32 to the bonding head side can be adjusted at the liquid crystal panel P. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the amount of deformation generated in the liquid crystal panel P after the first layer sheet F1m is bonded can be maintained within a certain range.

前述之切斷裝置(第一切斷裝置51、第二切斷裝置52)係以攝影機等檢測機構檢測出液晶面板P之顯示區域P4外周緣,沿顯示區域P4外周緣不間斷地切斷貼合至液晶面板P之層片FXm。透過拍攝液晶面板P端部、設置於液晶面板P的校準標記、或設置於顯示區域P4之黑色矩陣最外緣等,以檢測出顯示區域P4外周緣。顯示區域P4之外側處設置有特定寬度之邊框部G(參考第3圖),其係用於配置接合液晶面板P之第一基板及第二基板的密封劑等,於該邊框部G寬度內以切斷裝置(第一切斷裝置51、第二切斷裝置52)進行層片FXm之切斷。The cutting device (the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52) detects the outer peripheral edge of the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P by a detecting mechanism such as a camera, and cuts the patch continuously along the outer periphery of the display region P4. The layer FXm of the liquid crystal panel P is joined. The outer peripheral edge of the display region P4 is detected by photographing the end portion of the liquid crystal panel P, the alignment mark provided on the liquid crystal panel P, or the outermost edge of the black matrix provided in the display region P4. A frame portion G (refer to FIG. 3) having a specific width is disposed on the outer side of the display region P4, and is used for arranging a sealant or the like for bonding the first substrate and the second substrate of the liquid crystal panel P within the width of the frame portion G The cutting of the layer sheet FXm is performed by the cutting device (the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52).

另外,光學組件層FX之面內平均光軸方向的檢測方法並不限定於上述方法。例如,從光學組件層FX之寬度方向上設定的複數個檢查點CP(參考第10A圖)中選擇一個或複數個檢查點CP,對每一個所選擇之檢查點CP,檢測出光軸方向與光學組件層FX之邊緣線EL所夾角度度(偏移角)。接著,檢測出所選擇之一個或複數個檢查點CP之光軸方向的偏移角平均值,作為平均偏移角,亦可檢測出相對光學組件層FX之邊緣線EL與該平均偏移角所夾方向,作為光學組件層FX之平均光軸方向。Further, the method of detecting the in-plane average optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX is not limited to the above method. For example, one or a plurality of checkpoints CP are selected from a plurality of checkpoints CP (refer to FIG. 10A) set in the width direction of the optical component layer FX, and the optical axis direction and the optical are detected for each of the selected checkpoints CP. The angle (offset angle) of the edge line EL of the component layer FX. Then, an average value of the offset angles of the selected one or a plurality of checkpoints CP in the optical axis direction is detected. As the average offset angle, the edge line EL of the optical component layer FX and the average offset angle can also be detected. The direction of the clip is the average optical axis direction of the optical component layer FX.

如以上說明,本實施形態之薄膜貼合系統2係具備:貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15、第三貼合裝置18),係從料捲滾筒R1將寬度較液晶面板P之顯示區域P4長邊或短邊中任一邊長度更寬的條狀光學組件層FX捲出,並以長度較顯示區域P4長邊或短邊中另一邊長度更長地將光學組件層FX切斷以作為層片FXm,然後,將層片FXm貼合至液晶面板P,以作為光學組件貼合體;以及切斷裝置(第一切斷裝置51、第二切斷裝置52),係從貼合至液晶面板P之層片FXm將配置於顯示區域P4對向部分外側的剩餘部分切斷,以形成對應於顯示區域P4大小的光學組件F1X。因此,可設計使得光學組件F1X設置於顯示區域P4時的精度較佳,可縮小顯示區域P4外側之邊框部G(參考第3圖),達成顯示區域之擴大及機器之小型化的目的。 又,與第一實施形態相同,於層片FXm貼合時,貼合頭32係施加力矩至層片FXm,故可抑制光學組件F1X貼合後於液晶面板P所產生的變形量。As described above, the film bonding system 2 of the present embodiment includes the bonding apparatus (the first bonding apparatus 13, the second bonding apparatus 15, and the third bonding apparatus 18), and the width is from the roll drum R1. The strip-shaped optical component layer FX having a longer length than either one of the long side or the short side of the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P is rolled out, and the optical length is longer than the length of the other side of the display area P4 or the other side of the short side The component layer FX is cut to be a layer FXm, and then the layer FXm is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P as an optical component bonding body; and the cutting device (the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52) The layer FXm bonded to the liquid crystal panel P is cut by the remaining portion disposed on the outer side of the facing portion of the display region P4 to form an optical component F1X corresponding to the size of the display region P4. Therefore, it is possible to design the optical unit F1X to have a higher precision when it is placed in the display area P4, and to reduce the frame portion G outside the display area P4 (refer to FIG. 3), and to achieve the purpose of expanding the display area and miniaturizing the device. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, when the layer sheet FXm is bonded, the bonding head 32 applies a moment to the layer sheet FXm, so that the amount of deformation of the liquid crystal panel P after the optical unit F1X is bonded can be suppressed.

又,於薄膜貼合系統2中,第一切斷裝置51及第二切斷裝置52為雷射切割機,第一切斷裝置51及第二切斷裝置52係連接至同一個雷射輸出裝置53,亦可將雷射輸出裝置53所輸出之雷射光線分歧為二,供給至第一切斷裝置51與第二切斷裝置52。該情況中,與第一切斷裝置51和第二切斷裝置52各自連接有各別之雷射輸出裝置的情況相比,可達成光學顯示設備之生產系統小型化的目的。Further, in the film bonding system 2, the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 are laser cutting machines, and the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 are connected to the same laser output. The device 53 may also divide the laser light output from the laser output device 53 into two, and supply it to the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52. In this case, compared with the case where each of the first cutting device 51 and the second cutting device 52 is connected to each of the laser output devices, the production system of the optical display device can be downsized.

另外,本發明並不限於上述實施形態,在不脫離本發明要旨之範圍內,可進行包含元件結構或構成、形狀、大小、數量及配置等各種變更。 例如,上述實施形態中,已舉出於貼合時,移動裝置44使貼合頭32移動,藉以讓液晶面板P及貼合頭32進行相對移動的情況為例,但亦可採用不移動貼合頭32而使貼合台41移動,以形成相對貼合頭32使液晶面板P進行相對移動的結構。The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes in the configuration, configuration, shape, size, number, and arrangement of elements may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the moving device 44 moves the bonding head 32 to cause the liquid crystal panel P and the bonding head 32 to relatively move, for example, may be used. The bonding head 41 is moved to close the head 32 to form a structure in which the liquid crystal panel P is relatively moved relative to the bonding head 32.

又,於上述實施形態中,以在黏著於貼合頭32之保持面32a的貼合層片F5或層片(第一層片F1m)處不會預先產生變形,或者,變形非常小的情況作為前提進行說明。 然而,通常係從捲繞有第一光學組件層F1之料捲滾筒R1將貼合層片F5捲出,故各貼合層片F5具有變形(翹曲)的情況亦較多。將此種變形之貼合層片F5抵貼於液晶面板P雙面的情況中,可能會產生(如第11A圖~第11C圖所示)朝向下方凸出地翹曲的上變形狀態,與(如第12A圖~第12C圖所示)朝向上方凸出地翹曲的逆變形狀態。Further, in the above-described embodiment, the bonding layer sheet F5 or the layer sheet (the first layer sheet F1m) adhered to the holding surface 32a of the bonding head 32 is not deformed in advance, or the deformation is extremely small. It is explained as a premise. However, since the bonding layer sheet F5 is usually wound up from the roll drum R1 around which the first optical component layer F1 is wound, the bonding layer sheet F5 is often deformed (warped). When the deformed bonding layer sheet F5 is applied to both surfaces of the liquid crystal panel P, an upper deformation state in which the warpage of the liquid crystal panel P is warped downward (as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C) may occur. (as shown in Figs. 12A to 12C) an inverted state in which the warp is convex toward the upper side.

於液晶面板P產生上變形的情況係如第11A圖~第11C圖所示之三種模式。另外,於第11A圖~第11C圖中,貼合於液晶面板P之顯示面側的貼合層片稱為前側層片FS,貼合於其相反側(反面側)的貼合層片則稱為後側層片RS。The case where the liquid crystal panel P is deformed upward is the three modes shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C. In addition, in the case of the 11A to 11C, the bonding layer sheet bonded to the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P is referred to as the front side layer sheet FS, and the bonding layer sheet bonded to the opposite side (reverse side) is attached. It is called the back side layer RS.

第11A圖係顯示:前側層片FS於液晶面板P側具有呈凸出之相對較強之變形(以下,稱為強正翹曲之情況),而後側層片RS於液晶面板P之相反側具有呈凸出之相對較弱之變形(以下,稱為弱逆翹曲之情況)的情況。又,第11B圖係顯示:前側層片FS具有正翹曲,而後側層片RS具有相同強度之逆翹曲的情況。又,第11C圖係顯示:前側層片FS具有相對較弱之弱逆翹曲,而後側層片RS具有相對較強之強逆翹曲的情況。Fig. 11A shows that the front side layer sheet FS has a relatively strong deformation on the liquid crystal panel P side (hereinafter, referred to as a strong positive warpage), and the rear side layer sheet RS is on the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel P. There is a case where the deformation is relatively weak (hereinafter, referred to as a case of weak back warping). Further, Fig. 11B shows that the front side layer sheet FS has positive warpage, and the rear side layer sheet RS has the same strength of warpage. Further, the 11C chart shows that the front side sheet FS has a relatively weak weak back warp, and the back side sheet RS has a relatively strong strong back warpage.

如此地第11A圖~第11C圖所示之情況中,就前側層片FS及後側層片RS之翹曲方向及強度關係,推測於雙面貼合後之液晶面板處會產生上述之上變形的情況。In the case shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C, the warping direction and the strength relationship between the front side sheet FS and the rear side sheet RS are presumed to occur on the liquid crystal panel after double-sided bonding. The case of deformation.

在如第11A圖~第11C圖所示之會產生上變形之組合中,將前側層片FS及後側層片RS貼合的情況,係在將前側層片FS貼合至液晶面板P時將上述力矩施加至貼合頭32,而在將後側層片RS貼合至液晶面板P時將上述力矩施加至貼合頭32。據此,已確認了能抑制貼合有前側層片FS及後側層片RS之液晶面板P處所產生的變形。In the combination of the upper deformation as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C, when the front side layer FS and the rear side layer sheet RS are bonded together, when the front side layer sheet FS is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P The above-described moment is applied to the bonding head 32, and the above-described moment is applied to the bonding head 32 when the rear side layer RS is attached to the liquid crystal panel P. As a result, it has been confirmed that the deformation of the liquid crystal panel P to which the front side layer FS and the back side layer sheet RS are bonded can be suppressed.

另一方面,在僅對液晶面板P之反面,或者對雙面進行貼合時施加上述力矩的情況中,已確認了無法對前側層片FS及後側層片RS之變形影響進行補正,而將於貼合後之液晶面板P產生變形。On the other hand, in the case where the above-described moment is applied only to the reverse side of the liquid crystal panel P or when the double-sided bonding is performed, it has been confirmed that the deformation effects of the front side layer FS and the rear side layer sheet RS cannot be corrected, and The liquid crystal panel P after the bonding is deformed.

如此,於液晶面板P產生上變形的情況(參考第11A圖~第11C圖)中,將貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P之一面(顯示面)時施加上述力矩,將貼合層片F5貼合至另一面(反面)時不施加上述力矩,則可抑制貼合後之液晶面板P處所產生的變形。In the case where the liquid crystal panel P is deformed upward (refer to FIGS. 11A to 11C), the above-described moment is applied when the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded to one surface (display surface) of the liquid crystal panel P, and the bonding layer is applied. When the sheet F5 is attached to the other surface (reverse surface) without applying the above-described moment, the deformation occurring at the liquid crystal panel P after the bonding can be suppressed.

又,於液晶面板P產生逆變形的情況係如第12A圖~第12C圖所示之三種模式。另外,於第12A圖~第12C圖中,貼合於液晶面板P之顯示面側的貼合層片F5稱為前側層片FS,貼合於其相反側的貼合層片F5稱為後側層片RS。Further, the case where the liquid crystal panel P is in an inverted shape is the three modes shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C. In addition, in the 12th to 12th drawings, the bonding layer sheet F5 bonded to the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P is referred to as a front side layer sheet FS, and the bonding layer sheet F5 bonded to the opposite side is referred to as a rear layer. Side layer sheet RS.

第12A圖係顯示:前側層片FS具有相對較弱之弱正翹曲,而後側層片RS具有相對較強之強正翹曲的情況。又,第12B圖係顯示:前側層片FS具有逆翹曲,而後側層片RS具有相同強度之正翹曲的情況。又,第12C圖係顯示:前側層片FS具有相對較強之強逆翹曲,而後側層片RS具有相對較弱之弱逆翹曲的情況。Fig. 12A shows that the front side sheet FS has a relatively weak weak positive warpage, and the back side layer sheet RS has a relatively strong strong positive warpage. Further, Fig. 12B shows that the front side sheet FS has a reverse warp and the rear side sheet RS has a positive warpage of the same strength. Further, Fig. 12C shows that the front side sheet FS has a relatively strong strong back warpage, and the back side layer sheet RS has a relatively weak weak back warp.

如此地第12A圖~第12C圖所示之情況中,就前側層片FS及後側層片RS之翹曲方向及強度關係,推測會產生上述逆變形。In the case shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, it is presumed that the above-described inverted shape is generated in terms of the warping direction and the strength relationship between the front side sheet FS and the rear side sheet RS.

在如第12A圖~第12C圖所示之會產生逆變形之組合中,將前側層片FS及後側層片RS貼合的情況,係在將前側層片FS貼合至液晶面板P時不將上述力矩施加至貼合頭32,而在將後側層片RS貼合至液晶面板P時將上述力矩施加至貼合頭32。據此,已確認了能抑制貼合有前側層片FS及後側層片RS之液晶面板P處所產生的變形。In the combination of the inversion shape as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, when the front side layer FS and the rear side layer sheet RS are bonded together, when the front side layer sheet FS is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, The above torque is not applied to the bonding head 32, and the above moment is applied to the bonding head 32 when the rear side layer RS is attached to the liquid crystal panel P. As a result, it has been confirmed that the deformation of the liquid crystal panel P to which the front side layer FS and the back side layer sheet RS are bonded can be suppressed.

另一方面,在僅液晶面板P之正面,或者對雙面進行貼合時施加上述力矩的情況中,已確認了無法對前側層片FS及後側層片RS之變形影響進行補正,而將於貼合後之液晶面板P產生變形。On the other hand, in the case where only the front surface of the liquid crystal panel P or the above-described moment is applied to the double-sided bonding, it has been confirmed that the deformation effects of the front side layer FS and the rear side layer sheet RS cannot be corrected, but The liquid crystal panel P after the bonding is deformed.

如此,於液晶面板P產生上變形的情況(參考第12A圖~第12C圖)中,將貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P之一面(反面)時施加上述力矩,將貼合層片F5貼合至另一面(顯示面)時不施加上述力矩,則可抑制貼合後之液晶面板P處所產生的變形。In the case where the liquid crystal panel P is deformed upward (refer to FIGS. 12A to 12C), the above-described moment is applied when the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded to one surface (reverse surface) of the liquid crystal panel P, and the laminated layer is applied. When the F5 is attached to the other surface (display surface) without applying the above torque, deformation of the liquid crystal panel P after bonding can be suppressed.

如上述,本發明可根據貼合層片F5處預先產生之翹曲特性,將貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P中至少一面時適當地施加上述力矩,以抑制貼合後之液晶面板P處所產生的變形量。As described above, according to the present invention, the above-described moment can be appropriately applied when the bonding layer sheet F5 is bonded to at least one surface of the liquid crystal panel P according to the warpage characteristics generated in advance at the bonding layer sheet F5, so as to suppress the liquid crystal panel after bonding. The amount of deformation produced at P.

又,上述實施形態中,如第7圖所示,已舉出保持組件39僅設置於相對液晶面板P開始貼合貼合層片F5之一端側(第7圖中左端側),而使貼合頭32將該力矩施加至保持組件39接觸到液晶面板P端面之方向上的情況為例,但本發明並不限定於此。即,保持組件39亦可設置於相對液晶面板P貼合有貼合層片F5之另一端側(第7圖中右端側),或者設置於兩側(第7圖中液晶面板P之左端側和右端側)。 於該情況中,貼合頭32亦可施加該力矩,讓液晶面板P端面接觸到設置於另一端側的保持組件39。即,亦可沿著第7圖所示之施加力矩之反方向(朝向第7圖所示之朝左箭頭的相反方向),使貼合頭32將力矩施加至液晶面板P,來控制貼合後之液晶面板P處所產生的變形量。另外,如此地將力矩施加至反方向的情況中,與第7圖中所說明之情況相同地,例如,貼合台41之液晶面板P的吸附作用很強,即使施加力矩,液晶面板P之貼合台41上的吸附位置也不會產生偏差的情況中,則不一定需要保持組件39。Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, it is to be noted that the holding unit 39 is provided only on one end side (the left end side in Fig. 7) of the bonding layer sheet F5 which is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, and is attached. The closing head 32 applies this moment to the case where the holding member 39 is in contact with the end surface of the liquid crystal panel P, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the holding unit 39 may be disposed on the other end side (the right end side in FIG. 7) to which the liquid crystal panel P is bonded to the bonding layer sheet F5, or on both sides (the left end side of the liquid crystal panel P in FIG. 7) And the right end side). In this case, the bonding head 32 can also apply the moment so that the end surface of the liquid crystal panel P comes into contact with the holding member 39 provided on the other end side. That is, the bonding head 32 can be applied to the liquid crystal panel P in the opposite direction of the applied torque (the direction opposite to the leftward arrow shown in FIG. 7) as shown in FIG. The amount of deformation generated at the rear of the liquid crystal panel P. Further, in the case where the moment is applied to the opposite direction as in the case of Fig. 7, for example, the liquid crystal panel P of the bonding table 41 has a strong adsorption effect, and even if a moment is applied, the liquid crystal panel P In the case where the adsorption position on the bonding table 41 does not vary, the holding member 39 is not necessarily required.

此外,可對應液晶面板P之尺寸適當地設定層片FXm之剩餘部分的大小(超出液晶面板P外側部分的大小)。例如,在將層片FXm應用於5英吋~10英吋之中小型尺寸液晶面板P的情況中,係於層片FXm各邊將層片FXm之一邊與液晶面板P之一邊之間的間隔設定在長度2mm~5mm的範圍。Further, the size of the remaining portion of the layer sheet FXm (beyond the size of the outer portion of the liquid crystal panel P) can be appropriately set in accordance with the size of the liquid crystal panel P. For example, in the case where the layer FXm is applied to a medium-sized and small-sized liquid crystal panel P of 5 inches to 10 inches, the interval between one side of the layer FXm and one side of the liquid crystal panel P is formed on each side of the layer FXm. Set in the range of 2mm to 5mm in length.

以下,參考第13圖~第15圖並說明本發明第三實施形態之薄膜貼合系統。此外,於第13圖~第15圖中,為了圖示方便起見,係省略第二層片F2m之圖式。於本實施形態中,與上述實施形態中所說明之薄膜貼合系統2相同之結構係賦予相同元件符號,並省略詳細說明。此外,本實施形態中,係從貼合至液晶面板P之層片FXm將其貼合面外側之剩餘部分切斷,以形成光學組件F1X。Hereinafter, a film bonding system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 15 . Further, in the drawings from Fig. 13 to Fig. 15, for the sake of convenience of illustration, the drawing of the second layer sheet F2m is omitted. In the present embodiment, the same components as those of the film bonding system 2 described in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, in the present embodiment, the remaining portion outside the bonding surface is cut from the layer sheet FXm bonded to the liquid crystal panel P to form the optical module F1X.

本實施形態之薄膜貼合系統係具備第一檢測裝置91(參考第14圖)。第一檢測裝置91係設置於第二貼合搬出/搬入位置11d之面板搬送下游側。第一檢測裝置91係檢測出液晶面板P與第一層片F1m之貼合面(以下,稱為第一貼合面)的端緣。The film bonding system of the present embodiment includes a first detecting device 91 (refer to Fig. 14). The first detecting device 91 is provided on the panel transport downstream side of the second bonding carry-in/place position 11d. The first detecting device 91 detects the edge of the bonding surface of the liquid crystal panel P and the first layer sheet F1m (hereinafter referred to as the first bonding surface).

例如第13圖所示,第一檢測裝置91係對設置於上游側輸送機6之搬送路線上的四個檢查區域CA中檢測出第一貼合面SA1之端緣ED(貼合面之外周緣)。各檢查區域CA係配置於對應具有矩形外形之第一貼合面SA1的四個角部之位置。端緣ED係針對生產線上所搬送之每個液晶面板P而進行檢測。第一檢測裝置91檢測出的端緣ED資料係儲存於儲存裝置24(參考第8圖)。For example, as shown in Fig. 13, the first detecting device 91 detects the edge ED of the first bonding surface SA1 in the four inspection areas CA provided on the conveying path of the upstream conveyor 6 (the outer periphery of the bonding surface) edge). Each of the inspection regions CA is disposed at a position corresponding to the four corner portions of the first bonding surface SA1 having a rectangular outer shape. The edge ED is detected for each liquid crystal panel P conveyed on the production line. The edge ED data detected by the first detecting device 91 is stored in the storage device 24 (refer to Fig. 8).

此外,檢查區域CA之配置位置不限定於此。例如,各檢查區域CA亦可配置於對應第一貼合面SA1之各側邊一部分(例如各側邊之中央部)的位置。Further, the arrangement position of the inspection area CA is not limited to this. For example, each inspection area CA may be disposed at a position corresponding to a part of each side of the first bonding surface SA1 (for example, a central portion of each side).

第14圖係第一檢測裝置91的示意圖。 如第14圖所示,第一檢測裝置91係具備:照明光源94,係照亮端緣ED;以及攝影裝置93,係配置成基於第一貼合面SA1之法線方向較端緣ED朝第一貼合面SA1內側傾斜的狀態,從貼合有第一光學組件貼合體PA1之第一層片F1m之側拍攝端緣ED的畫面。Fig. 14 is a schematic view of the first detecting device 91. As shown in Fig. 14, the first detecting device 91 includes an illumination light source 94 that illuminates the bright edge ED, and an imaging device 93 that is disposed such that the normal direction of the first bonding surface SA1 is closer to the edge ED. In a state in which the inside of the first bonding surface SA1 is inclined, a screen on which the edge ED is imaged from the side of the first layer sheet F1m to which the first optical component bonding body PA1 is bonded is attached.

照明光源94與攝影裝置93係各自配置於第13圖中所示之4個檢查區域CA(對應第一貼合面SA1之四個角部的位置)。The illumination light source 94 and the imaging device 93 are disposed in each of the four inspection areas CA (corresponding to the four corners of the first bonding surface SA1) shown in FIG.

較佳地第一貼合面SA1的法線與攝影裝置93之拍攝面93a的法線所夾角度θ(以下,稱為攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ)可設定為讓面板分開斷裂時之偏差或毛邊等不會進入攝影裝置93之拍攝視野內。例如,第二基板P2之端面偏移至第一基板P1之端面外側的情況中,攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ可設定為不讓第二基板P2之端緣進入攝影裝置93之拍攝視野內。Preferably, the angle θ between the normal line of the first bonding surface SA1 and the normal line of the imaging surface 93a of the photographing device 93 (hereinafter referred to as the tilt angle θ of the photographing device 93) can be set as a deviation when the panel is broken apart. Or the burrs or the like do not enter the shooting field of the photographing device 93. For example, in the case where the end surface of the second substrate P2 is shifted to the outside of the end surface of the first substrate P1, the inclination angle θ of the photographing device 93 can be set so as not to enter the end edge of the second substrate P2 into the photographing field of view of the photographing device 93.

較佳地攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ可配合第一貼合面SA1與攝影裝置93之拍攝面93a中心之間的距離H(以下,稱為攝影裝置93之高度H)地進行設定。例如,攝影裝置93之高度H為50mm以上/100mm以下的情況中,攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ較佳地可設定於5°以上/20°以下之範圍的角度。但是,依經驗已知偏差量的情況中,可根據其偏差量求得攝影裝置93之高度H及攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ。本實施形態中,攝影裝置93之高度H設定為78mm,攝影裝置93之傾斜角度θ設定10°。Preferably, the inclination angle θ of the photographing device 93 can be set in accordance with the distance H between the first bonding surface SA1 and the center of the imaging surface 93a of the photographing device 93 (hereinafter referred to as the height H of the photographing device 93). For example, when the height H of the imaging device 93 is 50 mm or more and 100 mm or less, the inclination angle θ of the imaging device 93 can be preferably set to an angle in the range of 5° or more and 20° or less. However, in the case where the amount of deviation is known empirically, the height H of the photographing device 93 and the tilt angle θ of the photographing device 93 can be obtained from the amount of deviation. In the present embodiment, the height H of the imaging device 93 is set to 78 mm, and the inclination angle θ of the imaging device 93 is set to 10°.

照明光源94與攝影裝置93係固定並配置於各檢查區域CA。The illumination light source 94 is fixed to the imaging device 93 and disposed in each of the inspection areas CA.

此外,照明光源94與攝影裝置93亦可配置成可沿第一貼合面SA1之端緣ED移動。該情況中,照明光源94與攝影裝置93可各設置一組即可。又,藉此,照明光源94與攝影裝置93可在易於拍攝第一貼合面SA1之端緣ED的位置處進行移動。Further, the illumination light source 94 and the photographing device 93 may be arranged to be movable along the edge ED of the first bonding surface SA1. In this case, one set of the illumination light source 94 and the photographing device 93 may be provided. Further, by this, the illumination light source 94 and the imaging device 93 can move at a position where the edge ED of the first bonding surface SA1 can be easily photographed.
