第二轉台式機床16係以從貼合檢查位置16d朝順時針方向迴轉 90°迴轉之位置(第5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進行搬出動作。 The second rotary machine tool 16 is rotated clockwise from the bonding inspection position 16d. The position of the 90° turn (the left end of Fig. 5) serves as the second turntable end position 16b. At the second turntable end position 16b, the carry-out operation is performed by the fourth transfer device 21.

The bonding step of the film bonding system 1 is completed via the above.

以下,參考第6圖詳細說明第一貼合裝置13。另外,第二貼合裝置15及第三貼合裝置18亦具有相同結構而省略其詳細說明。 Hereinafter, the first bonding apparatus 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In addition, the second bonding apparatus 15 and the third bonding apparatus 18 have the same configuration, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

第一貼合裝置13係相對搬送至第一貼合位置11c的液晶面板P之上側面,將第一光學組件層F1中切斷成特定尺寸的貼合層片F5之層片(第一光學組件F11)進行貼合。 The first bonding apparatus 13 is opposite to the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel P of the first bonding position 11c, and is cut into a layer of the bonding layer F5 of a specific size in the first optical component layer F1 (first optical Component F11) is bonded.

第一貼合裝置13係具有:層片搬送裝置31,係從捲取有該第一光學組件層F1之料捲滾筒R1將該第一光學組件層F1捲出,且沿其長邊方向搬送該第一光學組件層F1;以及貼合頭32,於層片搬送裝置31保持從第一光學組件層F1切割出的貼合層片F5之層片(第一光學組件F11)的同時,貼合頭32將層片貼合至搬送到第一貼合位置11c的液晶面板P之上側面。 The first bonding apparatus 13 includes a layer sheet conveying device 31 that winds the first optical component layer F1 from the roll drum R1 that has taken up the first optical component layer F1 and transports it along the longitudinal direction thereof. The first optical component layer F1 and the bonding head 32 hold the layer (the first optical component F11) of the bonding layer F5 cut out from the first optical component layer F1 while the layer conveying device 31 is attached. The sealing head 32 bonds the layer sheet to the upper side surface of the liquid crystal panel P conveyed to the first bonding position 11c.

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。層片搬送裝置31係具有:捲出部31a,係保持捲取有條狀的第一光學組件 層F1之料捲滾筒R1,且沿其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,將施以半切斷後之第一光學組件層F1於銳角捲繞,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。 The layer sheet conveying device 31 conveys the bonding layer sheet F5 with the separation layer sheet F3a as a carrier. The layer sheet conveying device 31 has a take-up portion 31a for holding a strip-shaped first optical component The roll drum R1 of the layer F1, and the first optical component layer F1 is wound up along the longitudinal direction thereof; the cutting device 31b applies a half cut to the first optical component layer F1 unwound from the roll drum R1; 31c, the first optical component layer F1 after the 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 alone after being wound up through the blade edge 31c. The separation roller R2 of the layer F3a is separated.

另外,雖然圖式中省略,但層片搬送裝置31具有沿特定搬送路線捲繞第一光學組件層F1的複數個導引滾筒。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,具有寬度與液晶面板P之顯示區域P4(相當於本實施形態中顯示區域P4之短邊長度)相同的寬度。 Further, although omitted from the drawings, the layer sheet conveying device 31 has a plurality of guide rollers that wind the first optical module layer F1 along a specific conveyance path. The first optical module layer F1 has the same width as 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係朝其搬送方向不斷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 continuously winds up the first optical component layer F1 in the conveyance direction, and the winding portion 31d winds up the separation layer sheet F3a that has passed through the blade edge 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.

每當切斷裝置31b在與該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)相同之長度時,沿該層片寬度方向橫跨整體寬度切斷第一光學組件層F1厚度方向之一部分(施以半切斷)。 Each time the cutting device 31b winds the first optical component layer F1 up to the length of the display region P4 in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the width direction of the layer (corresponding to the length of the long side of the display region P4 in the present embodiment) At the time of length, one part of the thickness direction of the first optical component layer F1 is cut across the entire width in the width direction of the layer (half-cut).

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)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,施以半切斷,其深至黏著層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 (the separation layer F3a having a specific thickness remains), and the cutting is performed. The front and rear positions of the broken blade are half cut, which is deep 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,依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 half-cut first optical component layer F1, 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的第一光學組件層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 in sliding contact with the side of the separation layer F3a of the first optical component layer F1 after the half cutting, and is wound around the acute angle.

刀刃31c係讓第一光學組件層F1於銳角處捲繞過其銳角狀之前端部。第一光學組件層F1於刀刃31c之前端部呈銳角處折返時,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剝離位置31e,貼合頭32之圓弧狀的保持面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(與貼合面的反對側之面)黏著至貼合頭32之保持面32a。 The blade 31c is such that the first optical component layer F1 is wound at its acute angle at its acute angle. When the first optical component layer F1 is folded back at an acute 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 the arc-shaped holding surface 32a of the bonding head 32 comes into contact with the front end portion of the blade edge 31c from above, so that the surface protective film of the layer of the laminated layer sheet F5 is adhered F4a (the opposite side to the facing surface) is adhered to the holding surface 32a of the fitting head 32.

貼合頭32係與該層片寬度方向平行,且於下方具有凸形圓弧狀的保持面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 head 32 is parallel to the width direction of the layer, and has a convex arc-shaped holding surface 32a 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.

貼合頭32係於刀刃31c上方,沿該層片寬度方向之軸作為中心,與該長度方向平行,且沿保持面32a之彎曲傾斜移動。於黏著保持貼合層片F5時,及將黏著保持好之貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P時,適當地進行貼 合頭32之傾斜移動。 The bonding head 32 is attached to the blade 31c, and has an axis along the width direction of the layer as a center, is parallel to the longitudinal direction, and is inclined to move along the curved surface of the holding surface 32a. When the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered and adhered, and the bonding layer sheet F5 which is adhered and adhered is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, the labeling is appropriately performed. The tilt of the head 32 moves.

貼合頭32係在使保持面32a朝向下方,且保持面32a之彎曲一端側(第6圖之右側)為下側的傾斜狀態下,從上方將保持面32a之彎曲一端側貼附至刀刃31c之前端部,而將分離層剝離位置31e處的貼合層片F5之前端部黏著至保持面32a。其後,繼續捲出貼合層片F5且使貼合頭32傾斜移動,藉以將貼合層片F5之層片整體黏著至保持面32a。 The bonding head 32 is attached to the blade at the curved end side of the holding surface 32a from above with the holding surface 32a facing downward and the curved end side of the holding surface 32a (the right side of FIG. 6) being the lower side. The front end portion of 31c is adhered to the front end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 at the separation layer peeling position 31e to the holding surface 32a. Thereafter, the bonding layer sheet F5 is continuously unwound 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.

貼合頭32可於分離層剝離位置31e及第一貼合位置11c之上方進行特定距離的昇降動作,且可於分離層剝離位置31e與第一貼合位置11c之間適當地進行移動。貼合頭32係連結至驅動裝置33,而可進行該昇降時、該移動時和該傾斜移動時之驅動。 The bonding head 32 can perform a lifting operation of a specific distance above the separation layer peeling position 31e and the first bonding position 11c, and can appropriately move between the separation layer peeling position 31e and the first bonding position 11c. The bonding head 32 is coupled to the driving device 33, and can be driven during the lifting, the moving, and the tilting movement.

貼合頭32在將貼合層片F5黏著至保持面32a時,係例如在將貼合層片F5之前端部黏著至保持面32a後,切斷與驅動裝置33的銜接而自由地傾斜移動,從該狀態被動地伴隨著貼合層片F5之捲出而傾斜移動。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時,於該傾斜狀態下藉由例如與驅動裝置33之銜接等來鎖死該傾斜移動,並於該狀態下朝第一貼合位置11c上方移動。 When the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered to the holding surface 32a, the bonding head 32 is detached from the driving device 33, for example, after the end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 is adhered to the holding surface 32a. From this state, the tilting movement is passively accompanied by the unwinding of the bonding layer sheet F5. When the bonding head 32 is tilted to move 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 33, and in this state, the tilting movement is performed. Moves over a fitting position 11c.

貼合頭32在將黏著保持好之貼合層片F5貼合至液晶面板P時,藉由例如驅動裝置33之作動而主動地傾斜移動,沿保持面32a之彎曲將貼合層片F5貼附至液晶面板P之上側面以確實地進行貼合。 When the bonding layer 32 is adhered to the liquid crystal panel P, the bonding head 32 is actively tilted by, for example, the driving device 33, and the bonding layer F5 is attached along the bending of the holding surface 32a. Attached to the upper side of the liquid crystal panel P to be surely bonded.

於刀刃31c之前端部下方處,設置有第一檢測攝影機34,其係檢測在該部位處貼合層片F5之層片的層片搬送下游側之前端部。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 檢測出貼合層片F5之下游側端的時點時,係暫時停止層片搬送裝置31,其後,降下貼合頭32以將貼合層片F5之前端部黏著至該保持面32a。 Below the end portion before the blade 31c, a first detecting camera 34 is provided which detects the edge portion on the downstream side of the layer transporting of the layer sheet of the layer F5 at the portion. The detection data of the first detection camera 34 is transmitted to the control device 25. Control device 25 is, for example, first detecting camera 34 When the timing of the downstream end of the bonding layer sheet F5 is detected, the layer sheet conveying device 31 is temporarily stopped, and thereafter, the bonding head 32 is lowered to adhere the front end portion of the bonding layer sheet F5 to the holding surface 32a.

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之檢出位置(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之切斷刀片之進退刀位置)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, along 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 advance and retraction position of the cutting blade of the cutting device 31b) The distance of the layer 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之檢出位置與切斷裝置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,當其切斷端與特定之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(檢測部)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。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,而是移動至避開第一貼合位置11c的捨棄位置,重疊貼合至廢料層片等處。另外,在檢測出缺陷標誌時,亦可設計將貼合層片F5之缺陷以最小寬度切斷而捨棄的步驟。 The first detecting camera 34 (detecting unit) can also detect the defect mark printed on the bonding layer sheet 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. The bonding layer sheet F5 on which the defect mark is detected does not adhere to the liquid crystal panel P after being adhered to the bonding head 32, but moves to a discarding position avoiding the first bonding position 11c, and is overlapped and attached to the waste layer. Pieces and so on. Further, when the defect mark is detected, a step of cutting the defect of the bonding layer sheet F5 with a minimum width and discarding it may be designed.

貼合層片F5從分離層剝離位置31e朝第一貼合位置11c移動時,黏著保持於保持面32a的貼合層片F5之兩角部(例如相對該前端部的近端部 之兩角部),係各自以一對第二檢測攝影機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,貼合頭32係以貼合層片F5之位置作為特定之基準位置來進行位置校準。 When the bonding layer sheet F5 moves from the separation layer peeling position 31e toward the first bonding position 11c, it adheres to the both corners of the bonding layer sheet F5 of the holding surface 32a (for example, the proximal end portion of the front end portion) The two corners 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 the horizontal direction of the bonding layer sheet F5 with respect to the bonding head 32 (the direction in which the bonding head 32 moves and its vertical direction and the direction of rotation of the vertical axis center), for example, 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 bonding head 32 performs position alignment by using the position of the bonding layer sheet F5 as a specific reference position.

於第一轉台式機床11之第一貼合位置11c處,設置有用於進行第一貼合位置11c上液晶面板P之水平方向的位置校準之一對第三檢測攝影機36。於第二轉台式機床16之第二貼合位置11d處,設置有用於進行同一液晶面板P之第二貼合位置11d上水平方向的位置校準之一對第四檢測攝影機37。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之玻璃基板中之第5圖中左側的兩角部。 At the first bonding position 11c of the first rotary machine tool 11, one of the position detection alignments for performing the horizontal alignment of the liquid crystal panel P on the first bonding position 11c is performed. At the second bonding position 11d of the second rotary machine tool 16, a pair of fourth detection cameras 37 for performing positional alignment in the horizontal direction on the second bonding position 11d of the same liquid crystal panel P are provided. Each of the third detecting cameras 36 captures, for example, the two corner portions on the left side in the fifth drawing of the glass substrate (first substrate P1) of the liquid crystal panel P. Each of the fourth detecting cameras 37 captures, for example, the two corners on the left side in the fifth drawing of the glass substrate of the liquid crystal panel P.

於第二轉台式機床16之第三貼合位置16c處,設置有用於進行液晶面板P之第三貼合位置16c上水平方向的位置校準之一對第五檢測攝影機38。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 position 16c of the second rotary machine tool 16, a pair of fifth detection cameras 38 for performing positional alignment in the horizontal direction on the third bonding position 16c of the liquid crystal panel P are provided. 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).

於各轉台式機床(第一轉台式機床11與第二轉台式機床16)上,設置有載置液晶面板P且可進行其水平方向之位置校準的位置校準台39。位置校準台39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,可進行相對第一轉台式機床11與第二轉台式機床16各貼合位置(第一貼合位置11c、第二貼合位置11d與第三貼合位置16c)的液晶面板P之位置校準。 A position alignment table 39 on which the liquid crystal panel P is placed and whose positional alignment in the horizontal direction can be performed is provided on each of the rotary machine tools (the first rotary machine tool 11 and the second rotary machine tool 16). The position calibration table 39 is based on the detection of each of the detection cameras (the first detection camera 34 to the fifth detection camera 38). The data is driven and controlled by the control device 25. Thereby, the liquid crystal panel P of the respective bonding positions (the first bonding position 11c, the second bonding position 11d, and the third bonding position 16c) of the first rotary table machine 11 and the second rotary machine tool 16 can be performed. Position calibration.

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。又,可使得光學組件F1X對應顯示區域P4時的精度較佳,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目的。 The laminated layer F5 which has been aligned with the position of the bonding head 32 is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P, whereby the deviation of the optical component F1X is suppressed, and the accuracy of the optical axis direction of the optical component F1X with respect to the liquid crystal panel P can be improved.

第一貼合裝置13係具有:層片搬送裝置31,係從捲取有第三光學組件層F3之料捲滾筒R1將第三光學組件層F3捲出,且沿其長邊方向搬送第三光學組件層F3;以及貼合頭32,於層片搬送裝置31保持從第三光學組件層F3切割出的貼合層片F5之層片(第三光學組件F13)的同時,貼合頭32將該層片貼合至搬送到第一貼合位置11c的液晶面板P之上側面。 The first bonding apparatus 13 includes a layer sheet conveying device 31 that winds the third optical component layer F3 from the roll drum R1 in which the third optical component layer F3 is wound, and conveys the third direction along the longitudinal direction thereof. The optical module layer F3 and the bonding head 32 hold the head 32 while the layer conveying device 31 holds the layer (the third optical component F13) of the bonding layer sheet F5 cut from the third optical component layer F3. This layer sheet is bonded to the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel P conveyed to the first bonding position 11c.

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。層片搬送裝置31係具有:捲出部31a,係保持從捲取有條狀的第三光學組件層F3之料捲滾筒R1,且沿其長邊方向將第三光學組件層F3捲出;切斷裝置31b(切斷部),對從料捲滾筒R1捲出之第三光學組件層F3施以半切斷;刀刃31c,將施以半切斷後之第三光學組件層F3於銳角捲繞,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。 The layer sheet conveying device 31 conveys the bonding layer sheet F5 with the separation layer sheet F3a as a carrier. The sheet conveying device 31 has a winding portion 31a that holds the roll drum R1 from which the strip-shaped third optical component layer F3 is wound, and winds the third optical component layer F3 along the longitudinal direction thereof; The cutting device 31b (cutting portion) applies a half cut to the third optical component layer F3 that is unwound from the roll drum R1, and the blade 31c winds the third optical component layer F3 after the half cut, at an acute angle. The separation layer F5 is separated from the separation layer sheet F3a; and the winding portion 31d is kept separated by the winding edge 31c. Separation drum R2 of layer F3a.

另外,雖然圖式中省略,但層片搬送裝置31具有沿特定搬送路線捲繞第三光學組件層F3的複數個導引滾筒。第三光學組件層F3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(顯示區域P4之長邊與短邊任一邊的長度。相當於本實施形態中顯示區域P4之短邊長度)相同的寬度。 Further, although omitted from the drawings, the sheet conveying device 31 has a plurality of guide rollers that wind the third optical module layer F3 along a specific conveyance path. The third optical module layer F3 has a length corresponding to either one of the long side and the short side of the display area P4 of the liquid crystal panel P in the horizontal direction (layer width direction) perpendicular to the conveyance direction. In the form, the length of the short side of the display region P4 is the same width.

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係朝其搬送方向捲出第三光學組件層F3,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,第三光學組件層F3(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 winding portion 31a winds up the third optical component layer F3 in the conveyance direction, and the winding portion 31d winds up the separation layer sheet F3a that has passed through the blade 31c. In the layer conveyance device 31, the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the third optical component layer F3 (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 layer conveyance downstream side.

每當切斷裝置31b在與該層片寬度方向垂直之長度方向上將第三光學組件層F3捲出達顯示區域P4之相同長度(顯示區域P4之長邊與短邊任一邊的長度。相當於本實施形態中顯示區域P4之短邊長度)時,沿該層片寬度方向橫跨整體寬度切斷第三光學組件層F3厚度方向之一部分(施以半切斷)。 Each time the cutting device 31b winds the third optical component layer F3 up to the same length of the display region P4 in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the width direction of the layer (the length of either the long side and the short side of the display region P4 is equivalent. In the present embodiment, when the short side length of the region P4 is displayed, one of the thickness directions of the third optical component layer F3 is cut across the entire width in the width direction of the layer (half-cut).

第三光學組件層F3之切斷位置係根據液晶面板P之外形尺寸量測結果進行調整。控制裝置25(參考第9圖)係取得儲存於儲存裝置24(參考第9圖)的液晶面板P之外形尺寸資料,將第三光學組件F13呈不突出液晶面板P外側(第三光學組件F13所貼合之基板外側)的大小,決定第三光學組件層F3之切斷位置。切斷裝置31b係於根據控制裝置25所決定之切斷位置處對第三光學組件層F3施以半切斷。 The cutting position of the third optical component layer F3 is adjusted according to the measurement result of the shape of the liquid crystal panel P. The control device 25 (refer to FIG. 9) obtains the size data of the liquid crystal panel P stored in the storage device 24 (refer to FIG. 9), and the third optical component F13 is not protruded outside the liquid crystal panel P (the third optical component F13). The size of the outer side of the bonded substrate determines the cutting position of the third optical component layer F3. The cutting device 31b applies a half cut to the third optical component layer F3 at the cutting position determined by the control device 25.

切斷裝置31b係透過第三光學組件層F3搬送中的張力,在不使 得第三光學組件層F3(分離層片F3a)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,其深至黏著層F2a與分離層片F3a交界面附近。 The cutting device 31b transmits the tension in the third optical component layer F3, and does not make it When the third optical component layer F3 (separation layer sheet F3a) is broken (the separation layer sheet F3a having a specific thickness remains), the front and rear positions of the cutting blade are adjusted, and the half cut is applied, which is deep to the adhesive layer F2a and Separate the layer F3a near the interface.

切斷裝置31b亦可使用雷射裝置代替切斷刀片。例如,可使用二氧化碳(CO2)雷射切割機作為切斷裝置31b。該情況中,由於光學組件層FX之切斷所需之雷射輸出並不大,因此較佳地,第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15及第三貼合裝置18所具備的雷射切割機(切斷裝置31b)係連接至同一個雷射輸出裝置,將雷射輸出裝置所輸出之高輸出雷射光線分歧為三,供給給各雷射切割機。藉此,與三個雷射切割機各自連接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目的。 The cutting device 31b can also use a laser device instead of cutting the blade. For example, a carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser cutter can be used as the cutting device 31b. In this case, since the laser output required for cutting the optical component layer FX is not large, the first bonding device 13, the second bonding device 15, and the third bonding device 18 are preferably provided. The laser cutting machine (cutting device 31b) is connected to the same laser output device, and the high output laser light outputted by the laser output device is divided into three and supplied to each laser cutting machine. Thereby, compared with the case where the three laser cutting machines are respectively connected to the laser output device, the production system of the optical display device can be miniaturized.

經半切斷後之第三光學組件層F3中,依其厚度方向切斷光學組件本體F1a及表面保護薄膜F4a,以形成橫跨第三光學組件層F3之層片寬度方向上整體寬度的橫切線。第三光學組件層F3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(第三光學組件F13)。 In the third optical component layer F3 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 third optical component layer F3 in the layer width direction. The third optical component layer F3 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 a lamination (third optical component F13) of the bonding layer F5.

刀刃31c係位於從第10圖左側朝右側略呈水平地搬送的第三光學組件層F3下方,於第三光學組件層F3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係於半切斷後之第三光學組件層F3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 third optical component layer F3 which is conveyed slightly horizontally from the left side to the right side of FIG. 10, and is formed to extend at least across the entire width of the third optical component layer F3 in the layer width direction. The blade edge 31c is in sliding contact with the side of the separation layer sheet F3a of the third optical component layer F3 after the half cutting, and is wound around the acute angle.

刀刃31c係讓第三光學組件層F3於銳角處捲繞過其銳角狀之前端部。第三光學組件層F3於刀刃31c之前端部呈銳角處折返時,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剝離位置31e,貼合頭32之圓弧狀的保持面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(與貼合面的反對側之面)黏著至貼合頭32之保持面32a。 The blade 31c is such that the third optical component layer F3 is wound at its acute angle at its acute angle. When the third optical component layer F3 is folded back at an acute 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 laminated layer F5 (attached to the liquid crystal panel P) The facing) is facing downwards. Immediately above the front end portion of the blade 31c is a separation layer peeling position 31e, and the arc-shaped holding surface 32a of the bonding head 32 comes into contact with the front end portion of the blade edge 31c from above, so that the surface protective film of the layer of the laminated layer sheet F5 is adhered F4a (the opposite side to the facing surface) is adhered to the holding surface 32a of the fitting head 32.

At the second bonding position 27c of the conveyor belt 27, one of the position detections for the horizontal direction on the second bonding position 27c of the same liquid crystal panel P is provided, and the fourth detection camera (omitted in the drawing) is provided. At the third bonding position 116d of the second rotary machine tool 16, one of the position detections for the horizontal direction on the third bonding position 116d of the same liquid crystal panel P is provided, and the fourth detection camera (omitted from the drawing) is provided. The detection data of each detection camera is transmitted to the control device 25. In addition, a sensor can be used instead of each detection camera.

於轉台式機床(第一轉台式機床11與第二轉台式機床16)上以及輸送帶27上,設置有可載置液晶面板且可進行其水平方向之位置校準的位置校準台39。位置校準台39係根據各檢測攝影機之檢測資料,經由控制裝置25所驅動控制。藉此,可進行相對各貼合位置(第一貼合位置11c、第二貼合位置27c與第三貼合位置116d)的液晶面板P之位置校準。 On the rotary machine tool (the first rotary machine tool 11 and the second rotary machine tool 16) and the conveyor belt 27, a position aligning table 39 on which the liquid crystal panel can be placed and whose positional alignment in the horizontal direction can be performed is provided. The position calibration table 39 is driven and controlled by the control device 25 based on the detection data of each detection camera. Thereby, the position alignment of the liquid crystal panel P with respect to each bonding position (the 1st bonding position 11c, the 2nd bonding position 27c and the 3rd bonding position 116d) is performed.

相對該液晶面板P,將以貼合頭32經位置校準的貼合層片F5進行貼合,藉以抑制光學組件F1X之貼合偏差,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。又,可使得設置光學組件F1X對應顯示區域P4時的精度較佳,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目的。 The liquid crystal panel P is bonded to the bonding layer sheet F5 whose position is aligned by the bonding head 32, thereby suppressing the misalignment of the optical unit F1X and improving the accuracy of the optical axis direction of the optical unit F1X of the liquid crystal panel P. Improve the color and contrast of optical display devices. Moreover, the accuracy at the time of providing the optical unit F1X corresponding to the display area P4 can be improved, and the frame portion G outside the display area P4 can be reduced (refer to FIG. 3), and the display area can be enlarged and the size of the machine can be reduced.

如以上說明,上述實施形態中之薄膜貼合系統1A係具備:貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15與第三貼合裝置18),係將條狀的光學組件層FX從料捲滾筒R1捲出,且將光學組件層FX依特定長度切斷以作為光學組件F1X後,將光學組件F1X貼合至液晶面板P;以及控制裝置25,根據液晶面板P的外形尺寸之量測結果,決定貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15與第三貼合裝置18)中光學組件層FX的切斷位置。因此,可切割出具有液晶面板P之外形尺寸的光學組件F1X,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目的。 As described above, the film bonding system 1A of the above embodiment includes the bonding apparatus (the first bonding apparatus 13, the second bonding apparatus 15 and the third bonding apparatus 18), and is a strip-shaped optical component. The layer FX is unwound from the roll reel R1, and after the optical component layer FX is cut to a specific length as the optical component F1X, the optical component F1X is attached to the liquid crystal panel P; and the control device 25 is formed according to the shape of the liquid crystal panel P The measurement result of the dimensions determines the cutting position of the optical component layer FX in the bonding apparatus (the first bonding apparatus 13, the second bonding apparatus 15 and the third bonding apparatus 18). Therefore, the optical component F1X having a shape other than the liquid crystal panel P can be cut, and the frame portion G outside the display region P4 can be reduced (refer to FIG. 3), and the display region can be enlarged and the size of the device can be reduced.

又,上述薄膜貼合系統1A中,貼合裝置(第一貼合裝置13、第二貼合裝置15與第三貼合裝置18)係具有:捲出部31a,係將光學組件層FX從料捲滾筒R1與分離層片F3a一同捲出;切斷裝置31b,係將殘留有分離層片F3a的光學組件層FX切斷以作為光學組件F1X;刀刃31c,將光學組件F1X從分離層片F3a處剝離;以及貼合頭32,係將光學組件F1X貼附而保持於保持面32a處,且讓保持於保持面32a之光學組件F1X貼合至液晶面板P。因此,可使得光學組件F1X之連續貼合變得容易,提高光學顯示設備之生產效率。又,因為使用具有圓弧狀的保持面32a者作為貼合頭32,所以可藉由圓弧狀的保持面32a之傾斜移動,平滑地保持光學組件F1X,且藉由同一圓弧狀的保持面32a之傾斜移動,將光學組件F1X確實地貼合至液晶面板P。 Further, in the film bonding system 1A, the bonding apparatus (the first bonding apparatus 13, the second bonding apparatus 15, and the third bonding apparatus 18) has a winding portion 31a for taking the optical component layer FX from The roll reel R1 is unwound together with the separation layer F3a; the cutting device 31b cuts the optical component layer FX in which the separation layer F3a remains as the optical component F1X; the blade 31c, and the optical component F1X from the separation layer The F3a is peeled off; and the bonding head 32 is attached to the holding surface 32a by attaching the optical component F1X, and the optical component F1X held by the holding surface 32a is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P. Therefore, continuous bonding of the optical component F1X can be facilitated, and the production efficiency of the optical display device can be improved.

In this state, when the guide 61 is moved in the horizontal direction by the driving device 63, the bonding head 60 and the bonding roller 62 are attached to the optical component F1X in a state where one end of the optical component F1X is adhered to the liquid crystal panel P. One end side is horizontally moved toward the other end side. Thereby, the optical component F1X is gradually bonded to the liquid crystal panel P from the one end side by the bonding roller 62.

貼合頭60係將保持於保持面60a之光學組件F1X,藉由水平方向之貼合頭移動方向及其垂直方向、以及迴轉方向上進行位置校準。貼合頭60 係根據控制裝置25所決定之相對貼合位置,將保持於保持面60a之光學組件F1X貼合至液晶面板P。 The bonding head 60 is held by the optical unit F1X of the holding surface 60a, and is aligned by the moving direction of the bonding head in the horizontal direction, its vertical direction, and the direction of rotation. Fitting head 60 The optical module F1X held by the holding surface 60a is bonded to the liquid crystal panel P according to the relative bonding position determined by the control device 25.
