The second cutting device 32 is formed by bonding the second intermediate sheet piece F2w of the liquid crystal panel P to the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P so as to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P. By this, the third optical member bonding body PA3 is formed of the liquid crystal panel P and the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 of the first sheet piece F1m and the second sheet piece F2m that overlap the liquid crystal panel P (see the Six maps). The fourth optical member bonding body PA4 corresponds to the first bonding body.

藉由第2切斷裝置32,第2中間片材片F2w的剩餘部分由第3光學部件貼合體PA3被切離,藉此形成在液晶面板P的顯示面側之面貼合第2片材片F2m,並且,在液晶面板P的背光源側之面貼合第1片材片F1m所構成 的第4光學部件貼合體PA4。由第2中間片材片F2w所切離的剩餘部分係藉由未圖示之剝離裝置而由液晶面板P所剝離且回收。 By the second cutting device 32, the remaining portion of the second intermediate sheet F2w is cut away from the third optical member bonding body PA3, and the second sheet is bonded to the surface on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P.

In the first cutting device 31 and the second cutting device 32, the intermediate sheet piece FXw bonded to the liquid crystal panel P is cut along the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P in an endless shape to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P (specifically It is larger than the shape of the sheet piece FXm).

加熱裝置50係被設在比第2切斷裝置32更為面板搬送下游側。加熱裝置50係將第4光學部件貼合體PA4加熱,使第1片材片F1m及第2片材片F2m的各個收縮,使第1片材片F1m的外形及第2片材片F2m的外形分別與液晶面板P的外形實質上相一致。 The heating device 50 is provided on the downstream side of the panel conveyance of the second cutting device 32. In the heating device 50, the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 is heated, and each of the first sheet F1m and the second sheet F2m is contracted, and the outer shape of the first sheet F1m and the outer shape of the second sheet F2m are obtained. The shape of the liquid crystal panel P substantially coincides with each other.

在此,「實質上相一致」係指亦可在第1片材片F1m的外形、第2片材片F2m的外形及液晶面板P的外形之間不會產生較大的位置偏移的範圍內,使各個外形稍微不同。例如第1片材片F1m的外形、第2片材片F2m的外形及液晶面板P的外形為矩形時,若第1片材片F1m的一邊的長度V1與液晶面板P的一邊的長度Vp的比V1/Vp為0.999/1以上、1.001/1以下的範圍,並且若第2片材片F2m的一邊的長度V2與液晶面板P的一邊的長度Vp的比V2/Vp為0.999/1以上、1.001/1以下的範圍,則各邊的長度可謂為實質上相一致。若為如上所示之範圍,可充分抑制第1片材片F1m的外形、第2片材片F2m的外形、及液晶面板P的外形之間的位置偏移。 Here, "substantially coincident" means a range in which the outer shape of the first sheet piece F1m, the outer shape of the second sheet piece F2m, and the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P do not cause a large positional shift. Inside, make each shape slightly different. For example, when the outer shape of the first sheet piece F1m, the outer shape of the second sheet piece F2m, and the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P are rectangular, the length V1 of one side of the first sheet piece F1m and the length Vp of one side of the liquid crystal panel P are When the ratio V2 / Vp is 0.999 / 1 or more and 1.001 / 1 or less, the ratio V2 / Vp of the length V2 of the side of the second sheet piece F2m and the length Vp of the liquid crystal panel P is 0.999 / 1 or more. In the range of 1.001/1 or less, the length of each side can be said to be substantially the same. In the range as described above, the outer shape of the first sheet piece F1m, the outer shape of the second sheet piece F2m, and the positional deviation between the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P can be sufficiently suppressed.

通常偏光板係依環境而有0.1%~0.8%程度收縮。假設將液晶面板與偏光板相貼合的接著劑形成為強固者而不使偏光板收縮時,液晶面板會伴隨偏光板的收縮而翹曲。因此,在本實施形態中係使用後述之柔 軟的接著劑來貼合液晶面板與偏光板,以考慮到偏光板的收縮份的較大尺寸來進行加工。 Usually, the polarizing plate shrinks by 0.1% to 0.8% depending on the environment. Assuming that the adhesive that bonds the liquid crystal panel and the polarizing plate is formed to be strong without shrinking the polarizing plate, the liquid crystal panel warps with shrinkage of the polarizing plate. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the softness described later is used. A soft adhesive is applied to the liquid crystal panel and the polarizing plate to be processed in consideration of a large size of the shrinkage portion of the polarizing plate.

此外,收縮係在偏光板全體產生。使用柔軟的接著劑的痕跡係若偏光板因收縮而小於液晶面板的外形時,可藉由確認在偏光板收縮後殘留在液晶面板端部的接著劑來進行調查。 Further, the shrinkage system is generated in the entire polarizing plate. When the polarizing plate is smaller than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel due to shrinkage, the trace of the use of the soft adhesive can be investigated by confirming the adhesive remaining on the end of the liquid crystal panel after the polarizing plate shrinks.

藉此,將第4光學部件貼合體PA4形成為包含液晶面板P及與該液晶面板P相重疊的第1光學部件F11及第2光學部件F12之第5光學部件貼合體PA5。第5光學部件貼合體PA5係相當於光學部件貼合體。 Thereby, the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 is formed to include the liquid crystal panel P and the fifth optical member bonding body PA5 that overlaps the first optical member F11 and the second optical member F12. The fifth optical member bonding body PA5 corresponds to an optical member bonding body.

以下參照第七A圖、第七B圖,說明中間片材片FXw相對於液晶面板P的貼合位置(相對貼合位置)的決定方法之一例。 Hereinafter, an example of a method of determining the bonding position (relative bonding position) of the intermediate sheet piece FXw with respect to the liquid crystal panel P will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B.

首先,如第七A圖所示,在光學片材FX的寬幅方向設定複數 的檢査點CP,在各檢査點CP,檢測光學片材FX的光學軸的方向。檢測光學軸的時序可在原材料捲R1之製造時,亦可在由原材料捲R1捲出光學片材FX而進行半切割為止的期間。光學片材FX的光學軸方向的資料係與光學片材FX的位置(光學片材FX的長邊方向的位置及寬幅方向的位置)產生關連而被記憶在未圖示之記憶裝置。 First, as shown in FIG. 7A, a plural number is set in the width direction of the optical sheet FX The inspection point CP detects the direction of the optical axis of the optical sheet FX at each inspection point CP. The timing of detecting the optical axis may be during the production of the material roll R1, or may be performed while the optical sheet FX is taken up by the material roll R1 and half-cut is performed. The optical axis direction data of the optical sheet FX is associated with the position of the optical sheet FX (the position of the optical sheet FX in the longitudinal direction and the position in the wide direction) and is stored in a memory device (not shown).

控制部40係由記憶裝置取得各檢査點CP的光學軸之資料(光學軸的面內分布的檢査資料),並檢測切出片材片FXm的部分的光學片材FX(藉由切口線CL所被區劃的區域)之平均光學軸的方向。 The control unit 40 acquires the optical axis data (inspection data of the in-plane distribution of the optical axis) of each inspection point CP by the memory device, and detects the optical sheet FX of the portion where the sheet piece FXm is cut out (by the slit line CL) The direction of the average optical axis of the zone being zoned.

例如,如第七B圖所示,按每個檢査點CP檢測光學軸的方向與光學片材FX的邊緣線EL所成角度(偏移角),將偏移角中最大的角度(最大偏移角)設為θ max,將最小的角度(最小偏移角)設為θ min時,檢測最大偏移角θ max與最小偏移角θ min的平均值θ mid(=(θ max+θ min)/2)作為平均偏移角。接著,檢測相對於光學片材FX的邊緣線EL而形成平均偏移角θ mid的方向作為光學片材FX的平均光學軸的方向。此外,偏移角係例如相對於光學片材FX的邊緣線EL,以繞左周圍的方向為正,繞右周圍的方向為負來進行計算。 For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the angle (offset angle) of the direction of the optical axis with the edge line EL of the optical sheet FX is detected for each check point CP, and the largest angle among the offset angles (maximum offset) When the angle of shift is set to θ max and the minimum angle (minimum offset angle) is θ min , the average value of the maximum offset angle θ max and the minimum offset angle θ min is detected θ mid (=(θ max + θ Min)/2) as the average offset angle. Next, the direction in which the average offset angle θ mid is formed with respect to the edge line EL of the optical sheet FX is detected as the direction of the average optical axis of the optical sheet FX. Further, the offset angle is calculated, for example, with respect to the edge line EL of the optical sheet FX, with the direction around the left circumference being positive and the direction around the right circumference being negative.

接著,以利用上述方法所檢測出的光學片材FX的平均光學軸的方向,相對於液晶面板P的顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊形成所希望的角度的方式,決定中間片材片FXw相對於液晶面板P的貼合位置(相對貼合位置)。例如,若依設計規格,光學部件F1X的光學軸的方向被設定為相對於顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊形成90°的方向時,以光學片材FX的平均光學軸的方向相對於顯示區域P4的長邊或短邊形成90°的方式,將中間片材片FXw貼 合在液晶面板P。 Next, the intermediate sheet piece FXw is determined so that the long side or the short side of the display region P4 of the liquid crystal panel P forms a desired angle with the direction of the average optical axis of the optical sheet FX detected by the above method. The bonding position (relative bonding position) with respect to the liquid crystal panel P. For example, when the direction of the optical axis of the optical member F1X is set to a direction of 90° with respect to the long side or the short side of the display area P4 according to the design specifications, the direction of the average optical axis of the optical sheet FX is relative to the display. The long side or the short side of the area P4 forms a 90° manner, and the intermediate sheet piece FXw is attached. Fitted on the LCD panel P.

前述切斷裝置31、32係以攝影機等檢測手段檢測液晶面板P的外形的外周緣,將貼合在液晶面板P的中間片材片FXw,沿著液晶面板P的外形,以無端狀切斷成大於該液晶面板P的外形。液晶面板P的外形係藉由對液晶面板P的最外緣或被設在液晶面板P的對準標記等進行攝像予以檢測。在顯示區域P4的外側係設有設置將液晶面板P的第1基板P1及第2基板P2進行接合的密封劑等的預定寬幅的外框部G(參照第三圖),以大於該外框部G的尺寸,進行藉由切斷裝置31、32所為之中間片材片FXw的切斷(切割線:WCL)。在本實施形態中係以大於該外框部G的尺寸,進行藉由各切斷裝置31、32所為之雷射切割。例如,外框部G的寬幅為250μm左右。 In the cutting devices 31 and 32, the outer peripheral edge of the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is detected by a detecting means such as a camera, and the intermediate sheet piece FXw bonded to the liquid crystal panel P is cut off in an endless manner along the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P. It is larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P. The outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is detected by imaging the outermost edge of the liquid crystal panel P or the alignment mark provided on the liquid crystal panel P. A predetermined wide outer frame portion G (see FIG. 3) provided with a sealant for joining the first substrate P1 and the second substrate P2 of the liquid crystal panel P is disposed outside the display region P4, and is larger than the outer portion. The size of the frame portion G is cut (cut line: WCL) of the intermediate sheet piece FXw by the cutting devices 31 and 32. In the present embodiment, the laser cutting is performed by each of the cutting devices 31 and 32 so as to be larger than the size of the outer frame portion G. For example, the width of the outer frame portion G is about 250 μm.

雷射加工機的切口線的振動幅度(公差)係小於切斷刃的振動幅度。因此在本實施形態中,由光學片材FX切出大於液晶面板P的外形的尺寸的光學片材FX之中間片材片FXw,將該所切出的中間片材片FXw貼合在液晶面板P之後,若將中間片材片FXw沿著液晶面板P的外形而切割成大於液晶面板P的外形時,若僅考慮切口線的振動公差即可(±0.1mm以下)。 The vibration amplitude (tolerance) of the slit line of the laser processing machine is smaller than the vibration amplitude of the cutting edge. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the intermediate sheet piece FXw of the optical sheet FX having a size larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is cut out from the optical sheet FX, and the cut intermediate sheet piece FXw is bonded to the liquid crystal panel. After the P, the intermediate sheet piece FXw is cut along the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P, and only the vibration tolerance of the slit line is considered (±0.1 mm or less).

(光學部件貼合體之製造方法) (Method of Manufacturing Optical Component Bonding Body)

第八圖係本實施形態之光學部件貼合體之製造方法的流程圖。 Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing a method of manufacturing the optical member bonded body of the embodiment.

首先,將捲繞所使用的光學片材FX的原材料捲R1裝填在料捲保持部22a。該裝填完成後,操作人員係利用操作面板等來進行初期設定(第八圖所示之步驟S1)。例如,藉由初期設定來設定光學片材FX的切斷尺寸、厚度、供給速度、切斷裝置22c(切斷刃)的切入深度、料捲保持部22a 的送出速度、滾子式輸送機5的搬送速度等。 First, the material roll R1 of the optical sheet FX used for winding is loaded in the roll holding portion 22a. After the completion of the loading, the operator performs initial setting using an operation panel or the like (step S1 shown in FIG. 8). For example, the cutting size, the thickness, the supply speed of the optical sheet FX, the cutting depth of the cutting device 22c (cutting blade), and the roll holding portion 22a are set by the initial setting. The delivery speed, the conveyance speed of the roller conveyor 5, and the like.

若初期設定完成,料捲保持部22a係根據控制部40的控制,開始光學片材FX的搬送(第八圖所示之步驟S2)。 When the initial setting is completed, the roll holding unit 22a starts the conveyance of the optical sheet FX under the control of the control unit 40 (step S2 shown in FIG. 8).

切斷裝置22c係根據控制部40的控制,在光學片材FX形成切口線(第八圖所示之步驟S3)。切口線係在帶狀的光學片材FX的長邊方向以預定間隔形成。在光學片材FX的長邊方向相鄰的一對切口線所夾的區劃部分各個係成為貼合片材F5中的一個中間片材片FXw。 The cutting device 22c forms a slit line in the optical sheet FX under the control of the control unit 40 (step S3 shown in the eighth drawing). The slit lines are formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped optical sheet FX.

For example, the first intermediate sheet piece F1w is cut into a large size of 30 μm to 50 μm with respect to the edge (panel edge) of the liquid crystal panel P. In this way, the first optical member bonding body PA1 is formed so that the second optical member bonding body PA2 composed of the first sheet material F1m is bonded to the surface of the liquid crystal panel P on the backlight side (step S6 shown in FIG. 8). ).

Thereby, the third optical member bonding body PA3 as the second bonding body is formed.

第2切斷裝置32係根據控制部40的控制,將第2中間片材片F2w沿著液晶面板P的外形而雷射切割成大於液晶面板P的外形。例如,將第2中間片材片F2w,相對於液晶面板P的端緣(面板邊緣)而較大切割成30μm~50μm。藉此,將第3光學部件貼合體PA3形成為在液晶面板P的顯示面側之面貼合第2片材片F2m,而且在液晶面板P的背光源側之面貼合第1片材片F1m所構成的第4光學部件貼合體PA4(第八圖所示之步驟S6,第1工序)。 The second cutting device 32 is laser-cut to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P along the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P under the control of the control unit 40. For example, the second intermediate sheet piece F2w is cut into a large size of 30 μm to 50 μm with respect to the edge (panel edge) of the liquid crystal panel P. By this, the third optical member bonding body PA3 is formed such that the second sheet piece F2m is bonded to the surface on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P, and the first sheet piece is bonded to the surface of the liquid crystal panel P on the backlight side. The fourth optical member bonding body PA4 composed of F1m (step S6 shown in the eighth embodiment, first step).

在本實施形態中,以作為將液晶面板P與片材片FXm相貼合的接著劑之黏著層F2a(參照第四圖)而言,係使用儲存模數在溫度80℃下為0.56MPa以下者。在本實施形態中,例如使用儲存模數在溫度80℃下為0.24MPa的黏著層F2a。 In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer F2a (refer to the fourth drawing) which is an adhesive for bonding the liquid crystal panel P and the sheet piece FXm is used, and the storage modulus is 0.56 MPa or less at a temperature of 80 ° C. By. In the present embodiment, for example, an adhesive layer F2a having a storage modulus of 0.24 MPa at a temperature of 80 ° C is used.

「儲存模數」係依據JIS K7244-6:1999「塑膠-動態機械特性的試驗方法-第6部:剪斷振動-非共振法」來進行測定。此時,使用黏彈性測定裝置(IT計測控制公司製的「DVA-220」),將頻率設為1Hz,以升溫速度10℃/分鐘將溫度由20℃提高至100℃,測定在該升溫中途的80℃中的儲存模數。 The "storage modulus" is measured in accordance with JIS K7244-6:1999 "Testing methods for plastic-dynamic mechanical properties - Part 6: Shear vibration - Non-resonance method". In this case, the viscoelasticity measuring device ("DVA-220" manufactured by IT Measurement and Control Co., Ltd.) was used, and the frequency was set to 1 Hz, and the temperature was raised from 20 ° C to 100 ° C at a temperature increase rate of 10 ° C / min. The storage modulus at 80 °C.

加熱裝置50係根據控制部40的控制,將第4光學部件貼合體PA4加熱,使第1片材片F1m及第2片材片F2m的各個收縮,使第1片材片F1m的外形及第2片材片F2m的外形分別與液晶面板P的外形實質上相一致。 The heating device 50 heats the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 under the control of the control unit 40, and shrinks each of the first sheet F1m and the second sheet F2m to make the outer shape and the first sheet F1m. The outer shape of the two sheet pieces F2m substantially coincides with the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P.

第4光學部件貼合體PA4的加熱處理的條件(加熱溫度、加熱時間等)係根據在作為出貨物的第5光學部件貼合體PA5的形成工序以後所預定的加熱處理的條件來決定。此時,第4光學部件貼合體PA4的加熱處理條件係由抑制顯示畫像的色彩改變的觀點來看,在熱不會影響偏光子的範圍進行設定。如上所示之條件係預先記憶在控制部40的記憶部。藉由切斷裝置31、32而由中間片材片FXw切出的片材片FXm的大小係當依上述的加熱處理條件進行熱收縮時,決定為與液晶面板P的外形實質上相一致的大小。 The conditions (heating temperature, heating time, and the like) of the heat treatment of the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 are determined based on the conditions of the heat treatment predetermined after the step of forming the fifth optical member bonding body PA5 as the discharged product. At this time, the heat treatment conditions of the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 are set so as not to affect the range of the polarized light from the viewpoint of suppressing the color change of the display image. The conditions as described above are stored in advance in the memory portion of the control unit 40. The size of the sheet piece FXm cut out by the intermediate sheet piece FXw by the cutting devices 31 and 32 is determined to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P when the size of the sheet piece FXm cut out by the intermediate sheet piece FXw is thermally contracted according to the above-described heat treatment conditions. size.

例如,第4光學部件貼合體PA4的加熱溫度係設為在觸控面板的安裝工序或耐熱試驗中所預定的60℃~100℃的範圍的溫度,加熱時間係設為15分鐘~60分鐘的範圍的時間。在本實施形態中,係以80℃加熱30分鐘。藉此,在觸控面板的安裝工序或耐熱試驗中,抑制光學部件F1X大幅熱收縮。 For example, the heating temperature of the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 is a temperature in the range of 60° C. to 100° C. which is predetermined in the mounting process or the heat resistance test of the touch panel, and the heating time is set to 15 minutes to 60 minutes. The time of the range. In the present embodiment, it is heated at 80 ° C for 30 minutes. Thereby, in the mounting process of the touch panel or the heat resistance test, the optical member F1X is suppressed from being largely thermally contracted.

藉此,將第4光學部件貼合體PA4形成為在液晶面板P的顯示面側之面貼合第2光學部件F12而且在液晶面板P的背光源側之面貼合第1光學部件F11所構成的第5光學部件貼合體PA5(第八圖所示之步驟S7,第2工序)。 In this way, the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 is formed such that the second optical member F12 is bonded to the surface on the display surface side of the liquid crystal panel P, and the first optical member F11 is bonded to the surface of the liquid crystal panel P on the backlight side. The fifth optical member bonding body PA5 (step S7 shown in the eighth figure, the second step).

在習知之構成中,係將由長形薄膜所切出的偏光板貼合在液晶面板而形成為貼合體,在該貼合體中,即使使偏光板的外形與液晶面板的外形相一致,亦若藉由熱耐久試驗等而予以加熱時,會有偏光板進行尺寸收縮而小於顯示區的情形。例如,若以溫度80℃、100小時~300小時的條件進行熱耐久試驗,在對觸控面板的安裝工序等中,以溫度80℃放置30 分鐘時,偏光板係以250μm~1000μm的範圍進行尺寸收縮。若將外框部的寬幅設定為未達250μm時,偏光板進行尺寸收縮而小於顯示區。因此,無法減小外框部,阻礙機器小型化。 In a conventional configuration, a polarizing plate cut out of an elongated film is bonded to a liquid crystal panel to form a bonded body. In the bonded body, even if the outer shape of the polarizing plate matches the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel, When heating by a heat endurance test or the like, there is a case where the polarizing plate shrinks in size and is smaller than the display area. For example, when the heat endurance test is performed at a temperature of 80 ° C for 100 hours to 300 hours, the temperature is 80 ° C in the mounting process of the touch panel or the like. In the minute, the polarizing plate is dimensionally shrunk in the range of 250 μm to 1000 μm. When the width of the outer frame portion is set to less than 250 μm, the polarizing plate shrinks in size and is smaller than the display area. Therefore, the outer frame portion cannot be reduced, and the size of the machine is prevented from being reduced.

相對於此,根據本實施形態之光學部件貼合體之製造方法,在第1光學部件F11、第2光學部件F12進行加熱收縮的狀態下被貼合在液晶面板P而形成為第4光學部件貼合體PA4,因此即使第4光學部件貼合體PA4藉由之後的熱耐久試驗等而被加熱,亦抑制第1光學部件F11、第2光學部件F12進行尺寸收縮而小於顯示區。因此,可縮窄外框部G來達成顯示區的擴大及機器的小型化。 On the other hand, in the method of manufacturing the optical member bonded body of the present embodiment, the first optical member F11 and the second optical member F12 are bonded to the liquid crystal panel P while being heated and contracted, and the fourth optical member is attached. When the fourth optical member bonding body PA4 is heated by the subsequent heat durability test or the like, the first optical member F11 and the second optical member F12 are prevented from being dimensionally contracted and smaller than the display region. Therefore, the outer frame portion G can be narrowed to achieve enlargement of the display area and miniaturization of the machine.

此外,在本實施形態中,係使用加熱處理條件中的儲存模數在溫度80℃為0.24MPa的柔軟且黏著力較弱的接著劑作為黏著層F2a。因此,與使用堅硬且強固地黏著的接著劑的情形相比,抑制加熱處理時的液晶面板P的翹曲。在本實施形態中,使液晶面板P與片材片FXm的黏著力未形成為強固者,在加熱處理時,對於片材片FXm的收縮,黏著層F2a容易追隨,藉此抑制液晶面板P的翹曲。因此,可提升作為出貨品的第5光學部件貼合體PA5的製造良率,並且亦可提升在第5光學部件貼合體PA5安裝觸控面板等之最終製品的製造良率。 Further, in the present embodiment, a soft and weak adhesive having a storage modulus of 0.24 MPa at a temperature of 80 ° C in the heat treatment conditions is used as the adhesive layer F2a. Therefore, warpage of the liquid crystal panel P at the time of heat treatment is suppressed as compared with the case of using a hard and strong adhesive. In the present embodiment, the adhesion between the liquid crystal panel P and the sheet piece FXm is not formed to be strong, and the adhesive layer F2a easily follows the shrinkage of the sheet piece FXm during the heat treatment, thereby suppressing the liquid crystal panel P. Warping. Therefore, the manufacturing yield of the fifth optical component bonding body PA5 as a shipment can be improved, and the manufacturing yield of the final product in which the touch panel or the like is mounted on the fifth optical component bonding body PA5 can be improved.

此外,將大於第1片材片F1m、第2片材片F2m的第1中間片材片F1w、第2中間片材片F2w貼合在液晶面板P,藉此輕易地將第1片材片F1m、第2片材片F2m的外形相對於液晶面板P的外形以所希望的量調整為較大。 In addition, the first intermediate sheet F1w and the second intermediate sheet F2w which are larger than the first sheet piece F1m and the second sheet piece F2m are bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, whereby the first sheet piece can be easily attached. The outer shape of the F1m and the second sheet piece F2m is adjusted to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P by a desired amount.

再者,即使在該光學軸方向依第1中間片材片F1w、第2中間 片材片F2w的位置而改變的情形下,亦可配合該光學軸方向,將液晶面板P進行對準而貼合。 Furthermore, even in the optical axis direction, the first intermediate sheet F1w and the second intermediate portion are used. When the position of the sheet piece F2w is changed, the liquid crystal panel P may be aligned and bonded in accordance with the optical axis direction.

藉此,可使相對於液晶面板P之第1光學部件F11、第2光學部件F12的光學軸方向的精度提升,且可提高光學顯示元件的精彩及對比。 Thereby, the accuracy of the optical axis directions of the first optical member F11 and the second optical member F12 with respect to the liquid crystal panel P can be improved, and the highlight and contrast of the optical display element can be improved.

此外,在本實施形態中,係列舉加熱裝置50被設在比第2切斷裝置32更為面板搬送下游側之例來進行說明,但是不限於此。例如,亦可將第1加熱裝置設在比第1切斷裝置31更為面板搬送下游側(第1切斷裝置31與反轉裝置15之間),並且將第2加熱裝置設在比第2切斷裝置32更為面板搬送下游側。此時,第1加熱裝置係使第1片材片F1m進行加熱收縮,使第1片材片F1m的外形與液晶面板P的外形實質上相一致。另一方面,第2加熱裝置係使第2片材片F2m進行加熱收縮,使第2片材片F2m的外形與液晶面板P的外形實質上相一致。 In the present embodiment, the series heating device 50 is described as being provided on the downstream side of the panel transporting of the second cutting device 32. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first heating device may be provided on the downstream side of the panel transport (between the first cutting device 31 and the inverting device 15) than the first cutting device 31, and the second heating device may be provided in the second heating device. 2 The cutting device 32 transports the downstream side of the panel. At this time, the first heating device heat-contracts the first sheet piece F1m so that the outer shape of the first sheet piece F1m substantially matches the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P. On the other hand, in the second heating device, the second sheet piece F2m is heated and contracted so that the outer shape of the second sheet piece F2m substantially matches the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P.

此外,在本實施形態中係以在第1工序中,在液晶面板P貼合大於片材片FXm的外形的中間片材片FXw而形成為第2貼合體,將中間片材片FXw沿著液晶面板P的外形而雷射切割成大於該液晶面板P的外形,藉此將第2貼合體形成為包含液晶面板P及與該液晶面板P相重疊的片材片FXm的第1貼合體為例來進行說明,但是不限於此。例如,亦可在第1工序中,未形成中間片材片FXw,而在液晶面板P貼合大於液晶面板P的外形的片材片FXm而形成為第1貼合體。 In the first embodiment, the intermediate sheet piece FXw larger than the outer shape of the sheet piece FXm is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P in the first step to form a second bonded body, and the intermediate sheet piece FXw is along the intermediate sheet piece FXw. The outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is laser-cut to be larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P, whereby the first bonded body is formed so that the first bonded body including the liquid crystal panel P and the sheet piece FXm overlapping the liquid crystal panel P is The examples are described, but are not limited thereto. For example, in the first step, the intermediate sheet piece FXw is not formed, and the sheet piece FXm larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P to form the first bonded body.

此外,在本實施形態中係列舉將光學片材FX由原材料捲拉出,在液晶面板P貼合大於液晶面板P的外形的中間片材片FXw之後,將中間片材片FXw切出成大於液晶面板P的外形的片材片FXm的情形來進行說 明,但是不限於此。例如,在未使用原材料捲,而將被切出成大於液晶面板P的外形的尺寸的單片狀光學薄膜晶片貼合在液晶面板的情形下亦可適用本發明。 Further, in the present embodiment, the optical sheet FX is pulled out from the material roll, and after the liquid crystal panel P is bonded to the intermediate sheet piece FXw which is larger than the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P, the intermediate sheet piece FXw is cut out to be larger than The case of the sheet piece FXm of the outer shape of the liquid crystal panel P is said Ming, but not limited to this.
