Description

光学的表示装置を製造する方法Method of manufacturing an optical display device
 本発明は、RTP方式の光学的表示装置を製造する方法に関する。より具体的には、本発明は、キャリアフィルムから剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムの粘着剤層に、剥離前のシート状光学機能フィルムの先端部が頂部を有する剥離体の該頂部から突出しない停止位置に停止し、再開されたキャリアフィルムの巻取りにより、剥離体の頂部でシート状光学機能フィルムをキャリアフィルムから剥離しながら該シート状光学機能フィルムの先端部を、剥離体上の停止位置からパネル貼合位置に送り、停止することなく、該パネル貼合位置に搬送されたパネル部材に重ね、少なくとも開閉動する一対の貼付ローラで、挟持し貼り合わることによって、前記粘着剤層に少なくとも筋状変形が生じないように、光学的表示装置を製造する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an RTP optical display device. More specifically, in the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the sheet-shaped optical functional film peeled off from the carrier film does not protrude from the top of the peeled body having the top, the leading end of the sheet-shaped optical functional film before peeling. Stopping at the stop position, the rewinding of the carrier film restarts the sheet-shaped optical functional film from the carrier film at the top of the peeled body while holding the leading end of the sheet-shaped optical functional film at the stop position on the peeled body. From the panel bonding position, without stopping, overlapped on the panel member conveyed to the panel bonding position, at least by a pair of bonding rollers that open and close, by sandwiching and bonding, to the adhesive layer The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical display device so that at least a line-like deformation does not occur.
 近年、光学的表示装置の製造現場において、ロール・トゥ・パネル(RTP)方式の製造装置及び方法が採用されている(例えば、特許文献1)。RTP方式においては、通常、以下のようにして光学的表示装置が製造される。まず、所定幅を有する帯状の光学フィルム積層体がロールから繰り出される。帯状の光学フィルム積層体は、帯状のキャリアフィルムと、該キャリアフィルムの一方の面に形成された粘着剤層と、該粘着剤層を介してキャリアフィルム上に支持された光学機能フィルム(保護フィルム、偏光子、保護フィルム、粘着剤層及び表面保護フィルム)とを含んで構成されている。繰り出された帯状の光学フィルム積層体には、幅方向に連続的に切込線が入れられることにより、隣接する切込線の間にシート状光学機能フィルムが形成され、隣接のシート状光学機能フィルムを引張作用により互いに縁切りすることができる。 In recent years, roll-to-panel (RTP) type manufacturing apparatuses and methods have been adopted in manufacturing sites for optical display devices (for example, Patent Document 1). In the RTP system, an optical display device is usually manufactured as follows. First, a strip-shaped optical film laminate having a predetermined width is unwound from a roll. The strip-shaped optical film laminate includes a strip-shaped carrier film, an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the carrier film, and an optical functional film (protective film) supported on the carrier film via the adhesive layer. , A polarizer, a protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a surface protective film). In the unwound strip-shaped optical film laminate, a sheet-shaped optical function film is formed between adjacent cut lines by continuously making cut lines in the width direction, and the adjacent sheet-shaped optical function is formed. The films can be trimmed from each other by the action of tension.
 キャリアフィルム上に連続的に支持されたシート状光学機能フィルムは、通常、欠点の存在しない正常なものが、パネル貼合位置の近くに配置された剥離手段によってキャリアフィルムから粘着剤層と共に剥離され、該パネル貼合位置に送給される。該パネル貼合位置に到達したシート状光学機能フィルムは、例えば開閉する上下一対の貼付ロールなどの貼合手段により、パネル貼合位置に別途搬送されたパネル部材の対応する貼合面に重ね挟持され、貼り合わされる。 The sheet-shaped optical functional film continuously supported on the carrier film is usually a normal one having no defect, and is peeled off from the carrier film together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by the peeling means arranged near the panel bonding position. Is sent to the panel bonding position. The sheet-shaped optical functional film reaching the panel bonding position is overlapped and pinched on the corresponding bonding surface of the panel member separately transported to the panel bonding position by a bonding means such as a pair of upper and lower bonding rolls that open and close. It is attached.
 剥離手段においては、光学フィルム積層体のキャリアフィルム側が、パネル貼合位置に対向する頂部を有する略楔型の剥離手段の該頂部に巻きかけられる。シート状光学機能フィルムは、剥離手段に巻きかけられたキャリアフィルムを、パネル貼合位置に向かうシート状光学機能フィルムの搬送方向とは概ね反対方向に折り返しながら搬送することにより、キャリアフィルムから粘着剤層と共に剥離される。本明細書においては、シート状光学機能フィルムがキャリアフィルムから剥離される箇所である装置上の位置を剥離位置といい、剥離位置は、剥離手段の頂部近傍に存在する。 In the peeling means, the carrier film side of the optical film laminate is wound around the top of a substantially wedge-shaped peeling means having a top facing the panel bonding position. The sheet-shaped optical functional film is transported while returning the carrier film wound around the peeling means in a direction substantially opposite to the transport direction of the sheet-shaped optical functional film toward the panel laminating position. Exfoliated with the layer. In the present specification, a position on the apparatus where the sheet-shaped optical functional film is peeled off from the carrier film is referred to as a peeling position, and the peeling position exists near the top of the peeling means.
 こうしたRTP方式の製造システムにおいては、キャリアフィルム上のシート状光学機能フィルムは、その姿勢が理想的な姿勢からずれた状態でパネル部材との貼合位置に送られる場合がある。この場合には、シート状光学機能フィルムの貼ずれの状態に応じてパネル部材の姿勢を補正(「姿勢調整」ともいう)した後に、パネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとを貼り合わせる必要がある。
 また、こうしたRTP方式の製造システムにおいては、前記粘着剤層に筋状の変形が発生する場合がある。従来比較的厚い光学機能フィルムの場合には、粘着剤層に筋状の変形が発生したとしても、光学的表示装置の画像上の欠陥となる程の変形とは認識され難かった。しかし、近年求められる光学的表示装置の高精度高品質化の要望により、従来欠陥とは認識されていなかった粘着剤層の筋状の変形も欠陥となり得る場合がある。さらには、光学機能フィルムの薄型化が進むと、これまでの厚い光学機能フィルムの場合と比較して光学機能フィルムの厚みに対する粘着剤層の厚みの割合が大きくなる。このような薄型の光学機能フィルムの普及に伴い、粘着剤層に形成される筋状の変形は、光学的表示装置の画像上の欠陥として放置し得ないものとなり得る。
In such an RTP-type manufacturing system, the sheet-like optical functional film on the carrier film may be sent to a bonding position with a panel member in a state where its posture is shifted from an ideal posture. In this case, it is necessary to correct the orientation of the panel member according to the state of misalignment of the sheet-shaped optical functional film (also referred to as “posture adjustment”), and then bond the panel member and the sheet-shaped optical functional film. .
Further, in such an RTP-type manufacturing system, streak-like deformation may occur in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Conventionally, in the case of a relatively thick optical functional film, even if a streak-like deformation occurs in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it has been difficult to recognize that the deformation is such that it causes a defect on an image of the optical display device. However, due to a demand for high precision and high quality of an optical display device required in recent years, a streak-like deformation of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer which has not been conventionally recognized as a defect may become a defect. Furthermore, as the thickness of the optical functional film is reduced, the ratio of the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the thickness of the optical functional film is larger than in the case of a thick optical functional film. With the spread of such a thin optical functional film, streak-like deformation formed in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may not be left as a defect on an image of the optical display device.

 本発明の目的は、帯状の光学フィルム積層体のキャリアフィルムから粘着剤層と共に剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムを該粘着剤層を介してパネル部材に貼り合わせて光学的表示装置を製造するときに、前記粘着剤層に筋状の変形を発生させないようにシート状光学機能フィルムをパネル部材に貼り合わせる方法を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to manufacture an optical display device by laminating a sheet-shaped optical functional film peeled together with an adhesive layer from a carrier film of a band-shaped optical film laminate to a panel member via the adhesive layer. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of attaching a sheet-shaped optical functional film to a panel member so as not to cause streak-like deformation in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
 シート状光学機能フィルムの粘着剤層に発生する該シート状光学機能フィルムの送りと直行する筋状の変形を解消することは特許文献1に記載されている。具体的には、キャリアフィルムから粘着剤層と共に剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムが剥離手段の頂部から頭出し状態で停止したときに粘着剤層に発生する筋状の変形を、パネル部材と貼り合わせる貼合ローラの搬送速度を調整しながら、該貼合ローラの押圧力で解消する方法が記載されている。 Patent Document 1 describes that a line-shaped deformation that occurs in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the sheet-shaped optical functional film and is perpendicular to the feeding of the sheet-shaped optical functional film is eliminated. Specifically, when the sheet-shaped optical functional film peeled off from the carrier film together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer stops at the top of the peeling means and stops, the streak-like deformation generated in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is adhered to the panel member. A method is described in which the pressing force of the laminating roller is used to adjust the transport speed of the laminating roller to be adjusted.
 特許文献2には、キャリアフィルムが粘着剤層と共に剥離された1つ先行する光学フィルムシートを1つ先行するパネル部材に貼り合わせる工程が完了したときに、剥離体の頂部から一旦突出した次のキャリアフィルム上の粘着剤層付きの光学フィルムシートの先端部を剥離体の所定位置に正確に戻して待機させる、該剥離体の前後に正逆転フィードローラを配したキャリアフィルム送り装置が記載されている。 Patent Literature 2 discloses that when the step of bonding the one preceding optical film sheet from which the carrier film has been peeled off together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the one preceding panel member is completed, the next one that once protrudes from the top of the peeled body A carrier film feeder in which a forward / reverse feed roller is disposed before and after the peeling member is described in which the front end portion of the optical film sheet with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the carrier film is accurately returned to a predetermined position of the peeling member and made to stand by. I have.
 特許文献3には、開放された一対の貼合ユニットに予め搬送された基板に粘着剤層を有する光学フィルムシートが送られ、光学フィルムシートが頭出しされた状態になったときに閉作動して作動する貼合ユニットで基板に粘着剤層によって光学フィルムシートを貼り付ける貼付装置が記載されている。また特許文献4には、キャリアフィルムから粘着剤層と共に剥離されたシート片を液晶パネルに貼り付ける際に、シート片に生じた撓みを解消するように、貼付ローラの貼付速度をキャリアフィルムの搬送速度より早く設定することが記載されている。 In Patent Document 3, an optical film sheet having an adhesive layer is sent to a substrate that has been transported in advance to a pair of open bonding units, and the optical film sheet closes when the optical film sheet is caught. There is described a sticking device for sticking an optical film sheet to a substrate with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in a sticking unit that operates by pressing. Further, in Patent Document 4, when a sheet piece peeled off together with an adhesive layer from a carrier film is adhered to a liquid crystal panel, the sticking speed of the sticking roller is adjusted so as to eliminate the bending generated in the sheet piece. It is described that the speed is set faster than the speed.
 光学フィルムシートをパネル部材に貼り合わせる装置の頂部を有する剥離体の該頂部を該装置の貼合位置により近く位置付けて貼付精度を高めることは特許文献5に記載されており、そのために、次の光学フィルムシートの先端を貼付所定位置に精度高く位置付けるように、該光学フィルムシートの後端を検出所定位置で読み取ることが記載されている。 Patent Document 5 describes that the top of a peeling body having a top of an apparatus for bonding an optical film sheet to a panel member is positioned closer to a bonding position of the apparatus to enhance bonding accuracy. It describes that the rear end of the optical film sheet is read at a predetermined detection position so that the front end of the optical film sheet is accurately positioned at a predetermined application position.
 しかしながら、本発明者らは鋭意検討を重ね、本発明の課題であるシート状光学機能フィルムの粘着剤層に筋状の変形を発生させることなくシート状光学機能フィルムを貼合位置に送り、貼合位置に待機するパネル部材に筋状の変形のない粘着剤層で貼り合わせることによって光学的表示装置を製造する方法を実現することができた。 However, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and sent the sheet-shaped optical functional film to the laminating position without causing streak-like deformation in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the sheet-shaped optical functional film, which is the subject of the present invention, and bonded it. A method for manufacturing an optical display device was realized by bonding a panel member waiting at the mating position with an adhesive layer having no streak-like deformation.
 本発明の実施態様は、以下の通りである。
 それは、図1に示されるように、キャリアフィルム2と、キャリアフィルム2の一方の面に形成された粘着剤層4と、粘着剤層4を介してキャリアフィルム2上に連続的に支持された複数のシート状光学機能フィルム3とを含む帯状の光学フィルム積層体1のキャリアフィルム2から、粘着剤層4と共にシート状光学機能フィルム3を剥離しながらシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を、一対の貼付ローラ51、52が開放されたパネル貼合位置100に向けて送り、パネル貼合位置100に予め搬送されたパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねると同時に、閉作動により閉じられた開閉動する一対の貼付ローラ51,52で、シート状光学機能フィルム3をパネル部材5と挟持し、かつ、貼り合わせることによって光学的表示装置を製造する方法である。

 図2A(a1)と(a2)は、キャリアフィルム2上に支持されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が、パネル貼合位置100に対向する位置に配置された頂部61を有する剥離体60の頂部61から頭出しすることなく剥離体60上の停止位置200に停止しており、停止位置200におけるシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32の位置および角度を、シート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31を読み取ることによって確認する工程Aを表す。 2A (a1) and (a2) show a peeled body having a top portion 61 in which the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 supported on the carrier film 2 is disposed at a position facing the panel bonding position 100. 60 stops at the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 without cueing from the top 61 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 at the stop position 200. Represents the step A confirmed by reading the rear end portion 31 of FIG.
 これは、図2A(a1)に示す2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70によって検出されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32の頭出し前の位置情報x1を図3の[s1]で計測し、さらに図3の[s2]で位置情報x1を制御装置800の記憶装置802に記録するステップとして、示される。 This is obtained by measuring the position information x1 of the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 before cueing detected by the two-point moving type camera detection device 70 shown in FIG. 2A (a1) in [s1] of FIG. This is shown as a step of recording the position information x1 in the storage device 802 of the control device 800 in [s2] of FIG.
  図2A(b1)と(b2)は、特に図2A(b2)または図3の[s3]から明らかなように、パネル部材5の貼付前位置、すなわちパネル貼合位置100に向けてパネル部材5を搬送するために準備する貼付前位置600において、パネル部材5を吸着搬送手段90で吸着保持した状態を表す。 FIGS. 2A (b1) and 2 (b2) show the panel member 5 toward the pre-sticking position of the panel member 5, ie, the panel joining position 100, as is apparent from FIG. 2A (b2) or [s3] of FIG. The state in which the panel member 5 is sucked and held by the suction conveyance means 90 at the pre-sticking position 600 prepared to convey the sheet.
 これは、図1に示す検出手段91によって検出される吸着搬送手段90に保持されたパネル部材5の先端位置500を位置情報x2として、図3の[s4]で読み取り、さらに図3の[s5]で位置情報x2を制御装置800の記憶装置802に記録するステップとして、示される。 This is done by reading the tip position 500 of the panel member 5 held by the suction conveyance means 90 detected by the detection means 91 shown in FIG. 1 as position information x2 in [s4] of FIG. 3 and further reading [s5] in FIG. ] As a step of recording the position information x2 in the storage device 802 of the control device 800.
 図3の[s6]は、記憶装置802に記録されたシート状光学機能フィルムの先端部32の頭出し前の位置情報x1と、パネル部材5の先端位置500の位置情報x2とから、貼付前位置600において吸着搬送手段90に保持されたパネル部材5をシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32に対して事前に位置調整するように、例えば長手方向のズレ幅およびズレ角度(y、θ)を演算し算出するステップであり、図3の[s7]は、それに基づいて、吸着搬送手段90に保持されたパネル部材5を、貼付前位置600において、位置調整するステップである。 [S6] in FIG. 3 is based on the position information x1 of the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical function film before cueing recorded in the storage device 802 and the positional information x2 of the leading end position 500 of the panel member 5 before sticking. In order to adjust the position of the panel member 5 held by the suction conveyance means 90 at the position 600 in advance with respect to the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3, for example, a shift width and a shift angle (y, θ) in the longitudinal direction. [S7] in FIG. 3 is a step of adjusting the position of the panel member 5 held by the suction conveyance unit 90 at the pre-sticking position 600 based on the calculation.
 図2A(c1)と(c2)は、パネル部材5を、一対の貼付ローラ51、52が開放されたパネル貼合位置100に搬送し、停止し、待機する工程Bを表す。これは、図3の[s8]で、事前に位置調整されたパネル部材5をパネル貼合位置100に搬送し、開放された一対の貼付ローラ51、52のパネル貼合位置100に停止させるステップとして、示される。 FIGS. 2A (c1) and (c2) show a process B in which the panel member 5 is transported to the panel bonding position 100 where the pair of bonding rollers 51 and 52 are opened, stopped, and waits. This is a step of transporting the panel member 5 whose position has been adjusted in advance to the panel bonding position 100 and stopping the panel member 5 at the panel bonding position 100 between the pair of opened bonding rollers 51 and 52 in [s8] of FIG. As shown.
 図3の[s9]は、停止位置200とパネル貼合位置100との間に位置する所定位置300に達するシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を検出するために、図2A(b1)に示すように、シート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31を読み取るようにするための2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70を、該シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32の停止位置200に対応した後端部31を読み取る位置から、該シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が所定位置300に達したときに対応した後端部31を読み取る位置へと移動させるステップであり、その移動距離はδである。 FIG. 2A (b1) shows [s9] in FIG. 2A (b1) in order to detect the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaching the predetermined position 300 located between the stop position 200 and the panel bonding position 100. As shown, a two-point moving type camera detection device 70 for reading the rear end 31 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 corresponds to the stop position 200 of the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3. And moving the rear end 31 of the sheet-shaped optical function film 3 from the position where the rear end 31 is read to the position where the rear end 31 of the sheet-shaped optical function film 3 reaches the predetermined position 300. Is δ.
 ここで、図2A~Cに示された2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70に代わる、1台で2点を交互に読み取る広視野タイプの単体固定型カメラ検出装置71を用いた図8A~Cの各工程、および、図9のフロー図について説明する。 Here, instead of the two-point movement type camera detection apparatus 70 shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, FIGS. 8A to 8C using a wide-field type single fixed camera detection apparatus 71 that alternately reads two points with one unit. And the flowchart of FIG. 9 will be described.
 図9の詳細ステップには、停止位置200とパネル貼合位置100との間に位置する所定位置300に達するシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を検出するために、図3の[s9]のように2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70を移動させるステップは必要としない。図9に示す詳細ステップの場合、広視野で2点を交互に読み取る単体の固定型カメラ検出装置71によって、停止位置200に停止するシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を確認するための後端部31の読取と、所定位置300に達した先端部32を確認するための後端部31の読取との間で、撮影を切換えて検出することになる。したがって、図8A~Cの各工程には、図3の[s9]に相当する単体固定型カメラ検出装置71を移動する工程は含まれない。 In the detailed step of FIG. 9, in order to detect the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaching the predetermined position 300 located between the stop position 200 and the panel bonding position 100, [s9] of FIG. The step of moving the camera detection device 70 of the two-point movement type as in the above is not required. In the case of the detailed steps shown in FIG. 9, a single fixed camera detection device 71 that alternately reads two points in a wide field of view is used to confirm the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 that stops at the stop position 200. The photographing is switched between the reading of the end portion 31 and the reading of the rear end portion 31 for confirming the leading end portion 32 that has reached the predetermined position 300, and the detection is performed. Therefore, the steps of FIGS. 8A to 8C do not include the step of moving the single fixed camera detection device 71 corresponding to [s9] of FIG.
 さらにここで、図2A~Cに示された2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70に代えて、距離δだけ離して設置された2台の複合体の固定型カメラ検出装置72a、72bによって2点の位置を別々に読み取るようにした図10A~Cの各工程、および、図11のフロー図について説明する。 Here, instead of the two-point moving type camera detecting device 70 shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, two composite fixed camera detecting devices 72a and 72b installed at a distance δ separate two points. 10A to FIG. 10C in which the positions are read separately, and the flowchart of FIG. 11 will be described.
 図11の詳細ステップには、停止位置200とパネル貼合位置100との間に位置する所定位置300に達するシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を検出するために、図3の[s9]示す2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70を移動させるように、複合体の固定型カメラ検出装置72a、72bを移動させるステップは必要としない。図11に示すステップは、2点を別々に読み取る複合体固定型カメラ検出装置72a、72bを用い、まず図11の[s1]で固定型カメラ検出装置72bによって停止位置200に停止するシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を確認するために後端部31を読み取り、次に図11の[s11]で固定型カメラ検出装置72aによって、所定位置300に達したシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を確認するために該シート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31を読み取り、先端部32のそれぞれの位置を検出することになる。そのため、図10A~Cの各工程には、図3の[s9]のように、複合体固定型カメラ検出装置72a、72bを移動させる工程は含まれない。 In the detailed steps of FIG. 11, in order to detect the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaching the predetermined position 300 located between the stop position 200 and the panel bonding position 100, [s9] of FIG. It is not necessary to move the fixed camera detection devices 72a and 72b of the complex so as to move the two-point movement type camera detection device 70 as shown. The steps shown in FIG. 11 use the composite fixed camera detection devices 72a and 72b that read two points separately, and first, at [s1] in FIG. 11, the sheet-like optics stop at the stop position 200 by the fixed camera detection device 72b. The rear end portion 31 is read to confirm the front end portion 32 of the functional film 3, and then the leading end of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaching the predetermined position 300 by the fixed camera detection device 72 a in [s 11] of FIG. In order to confirm the portion 32, the rear end 31 of the sheet-like optical function film 3 is read, and the position of the front end 32 is detected. Therefore, the steps of FIGS. 10A to 10C do not include the step of moving the complex-fixed type camera detection devices 72a and 72b as in [s9] of FIG.
 図2A~Cの工程または図3のフロー図に戻り、2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70、広視野タイプの単体固定型カメラ検出装置71、および、2台の複合体固定型カメラ検出装置72a、72bなどの異なるカメラ検出装置による、本発明の実施例1~実施例6について、以下、図2A~Cおよび図3を用いて説明する。 Returning to the steps of FIGS. 2A to 2C or the flowchart of FIG. 3, a two-point moving type camera detection device 70, a wide-field type single fixed camera detection device 71, and two complex fixed camera detection devices 72a , 72b, etc., the first to sixth embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C and FIG.
 図2B(d1)と(d2)は、いずれも、キャリアフィルム2を剥離体60の頂部61で折り返しながら搬送することにより、粘着剤層4と共にシート状光学機能フィルム3を剥離しながら、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を、待機するパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねるように、剥離体60上の停止位置200から一対の貼付ローラ51,52が開放されたパネル貼合位置100に向けて送る工程Cを表す。 2B (d1) and (d2) show that the carrier film 2 is conveyed while being folded at the top 61 of the peeling body 60, thereby peeling off the sheet-like optical functional film 3 together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, and From the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 to the panel bonding position 100 where the pair of bonding rollers 51 and 52 are opened so that the leading end portion 32 of the optical function film 3 overlaps the panel member 5 which stands by without stopping. This represents a process C to be sent toward.
 図3の[s10]は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を、剥離体60上の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100に待機するパネル部材5に向けて送り出すステップである。シート状光学機能フィルム3を送り出すシート状光学機能フィルム3の送出速度v1は、図4に示すように、5mm/s~10mm/sであることが好ましい。送り出されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32は、待機するパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねられることになる。 [[S10] in FIG. 3 is a step of sending the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 from the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 toward the panel member 5 waiting at the panel bonding position 100. The delivery speed v1 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 for sending out the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is preferably 5 mm / s to 10 mm / s as shown in FIG. The leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optically functional film 3 that has been sent out is superimposed on the panel member 5 that is on standby without stopping.
 図2B(e1)と(e2)は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31の送り長さの距離δを監視することによってシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が、剥離体60上の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100までの間の所定位置300に到達したことを検知する工程Hを表す。それは、図3の[s13]で、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が所定位置300に達するステップとして、示される。図2B(e1)または図3の[s14]はまた、開放された開閉動する一対の貼付ローラ51、52の閉作動を開始する工程を表す。 2B (e1) and (e2) show that the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is placed on the release body 60 by monitoring the distance δ of the feed length of the rear end 31 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3. Represents a step H of detecting that a predetermined position 300 between the stop position 200 and the panel bonding position 100 has been reached. This is shown in [s13] of FIG. 3 as a step in which the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaches the predetermined position 300. FIG. 2B (e1) or [s14] of FIG. 3 also represents a step of starting the closing operation of the pair of sticking rollers 51 and 52 that are opened and closed.
 図3の[s11]と[s12]に示すように、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル貼合位置手前の所定位置300に到達するまでに、光学機能フィルム3の搬送速度を送出速度v1からパネル部材5との貼付開始速度v2に切換える技術的意図は、前記シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が所定位置300で検出されたことを合図に貼付ローラ51、52の閉動作が開始するため、前記シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が所定位置300で検出された後の速度切り替えを無くすることで、確実に安定してシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねられると同時に、当該シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32とパネル部材5を貼付ローラ51、52で挟持するためである。 As shown in [s11] and [s12] in FIG. 3, the transport speed of the optical function film 3 is sent out until the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-like optical function film 3 reaches a predetermined position 300 just before the panel bonding position. The technical intention of switching from the speed v1 to the sticking start speed v2 with the panel member 5 is that the closing operation of the sticking rollers 51 and 52 is signaled when the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is detected at the predetermined position 300. Starts, the speed switching after the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is detected at the predetermined position 300 is eliminated, so that the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is reliably and stably. This is because the front end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optically functional film 3 and the panel member 5 are sandwiched between the sticking rollers 51 and 52 at the same time as being stacked on the panel member 5 without stopping. That.
 貼付開始速度v2は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル部材5に重ねられたときのシート状光学機能フィルム3の送り速度であり、図4の実施例3または実施例5に示されるように、送出速度v1と同じ速度にすることができる一方、好ましくはシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル貼合位置手前の所定位置300に到達するまでに実施例1、実施例2、実施例4または実施例6のように、貼付開始速度v2は送出速度v1より遅くすること、すなわち、v2<v1の状態にすることである。 The sticking start speed v2 is a feed speed of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 when the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is overlaid on the panel member 5, and is shown in Example 3 or Example 5 in FIG. As described above, the delivery speed v1 can be the same as the delivery speed v1, but it is preferable that the first and second embodiments be performed until the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaches the predetermined position 300 just before the panel bonding position. 2. As in Example 4 or Example 6, the sticking start speed v2 is set to be lower than the sending speed v1, that is, in a state of v2 <v1.
 閉作動する一対の貼付ローラ51,52で挟持されると同時に送られるシート状光学機能フィルム3の貼付開始速度v2は、より具体的には、図2B(f1)に示されるように、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねられるため、より好ましくは、10mm/sec未満である。
 また、一対の貼付ローラ51,52は、シート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5とを挟持する前に、シート状光学機能フィルム3の貼付開始速度v2と同じ速度で回転することが好ましい。挟持する前から同じ速度v2で回転することで、貼付ローラ51,52がシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5に接触した瞬間の速度差が生じ難く、より貼付精度を向上することができる。
The sticking start speed v2 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 which is simultaneously sent and nipped by the pair of sticking rollers 51 and 52 that are closed is more specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B (f1). Since the leading end portion 32 of the optical function film 3 is overlapped on the panel member 5 without stopping, it is more preferably less than 10 mm / sec.
Further, it is preferable that the pair of attaching rollers 51 and 52 rotate at the same speed as the attaching start speed v2 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 before sandwiching the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5. By rotating at the same speed v2 before the holding, the speed difference at the moment when the attaching rollers 51 and 52 come into contact with the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 hardly occurs, and the attaching accuracy can be further improved.
 図2B(f1)と(f2)は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を、剥離体60上の停止位置200から貼付開始速度v2より速い速度に調整された送出速度v1でパネル貼合位置5に向けて送り出し、剥離体60上の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100までの間の所定位置300に達する前に、送出速度v1から貼付開始速度v2に切換え、さらに待機するパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねる工程Iを表す。 FIGS. 2B (f1) and (f2) show the panel bonding of the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 at the delivery speed v1 adjusted from the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 to a speed higher than the bonding start speed v2. The panel member 5 is sent out toward the position 5 and switches from the sending speed v1 to the sticking start speed v2 before reaching the predetermined position 300 between the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 and the panel sticking position 100, and further waits. Represents a step I of overlapping without stopping.
 図2B(f1)はさらに、図2A(b1)に示す2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70を、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が所定位置300に達したときに対応した後端部31を読み取る位置から、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32の停止位置200に対応した後端部31を読み取る位置へと、δだけ後退移動させ、図2A(a1)に示す位置に戻す工程を表す。これは、図3の[s15]に示されるステップである。 FIG. 2B (f1) further shows the two-point movement type camera detection device 70 shown in FIG. 2A (b1) by using the rear end corresponding to the time when the front end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaches the predetermined position 300. Step of retreating by δ from the position for reading 31 to the position for reading the trailing end 31 corresponding to the stop position 200 of the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and returning to the position shown in FIG. 2A (a1) Represents This is the step shown in [s15] of FIG.
 図2C(g1)と(g2)は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がパネル部材5の貼合面に停止することなく重ねられると同時に閉作動して回転する一対の貼付ローラ51、52によってシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材とが挟持され、貼付開始速度v2でさらに貼り合わされる工程を表す。 FIGS. 2C (g1) and (g2) show a pair of sticking rollers 51 that rotate while closing and rotating at the same time as the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is stacked on the sticking surface of the panel member 5 without stopping. 52 shows a process in which the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member are sandwiched by 52 and further bonded together at a bonding start speed v2.
 シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が、図2C(g1)と(h1)に示されるように、閉作動する一対の貼付ローラ51、52で挟持され、シート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5との貼り合わせが所定長さλに達したときに、閉作動する1対の貼付ローラ51,52の貼合速度は、貼付開始速度v2から、該貼付開始速度v2より高速の貼合運転速度v3へと切換えられる。それによって、シート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5との貼合工程の生産性はより高められる。これは、図3の[s17]に示されるステップである。 As shown in FIG. 2C (g1) and (h1), the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is sandwiched between a pair of attaching rollers 51 and 52 that operate to close, and the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and a panel member The laminating speed of the pair of laminating rollers 51 and 52 that is closed when the lamination with the lamination 5 reaches the predetermined length λ is from the lamination start speed v2 to a lamination operation higher than the lamination start speed v2. The speed is switched to the speed v3. Thereby, the productivity in the step of bonding the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 is further enhanced. This is the step shown in [s17] of FIG.
 本発明の実施態様において、送出速度v1と貼付開始速度v2と貼合運転速度v3との関係は、以下の通りである。 に お い て In the embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the delivery speed v1, the sticking start speed v2, and the sticking operation speed v3 is as follows.
 シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が剥離体60の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100に向けて送り出される送出速度は、v1である。好ましくは、シート状光学機能フィルム3の送出速度v1は、先端部32が剥離体60上の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100までの間の所定位置300に達する前まで維持され、所定位置300の直前で貼付開始速度v2に切換えられる。さらに好ましくは、閉作動する1対の貼付ローラ51、52の貼合速度に相当する貼付開始速度v2は、シート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5との貼り合わせの距離が所定長さλに達するまで維持され、所定長さλに達したときに、さらに貼合運転速度v3に切換えられる。 The delivery speed at which the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is sent out from the stop position 200 of the peeling body 60 toward the panel bonding position 100 is v1. Preferably, the feeding speed v1 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is maintained until the leading end 32 reaches a predetermined position 300 between the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 and the panel bonding position 100, and the predetermined position 300 Is switched to the pasting start speed v2 immediately before More preferably, the sticking start speed v2, which is equivalent to the sticking speed of the pair of sticking rollers 51 and 52 that perform the closing operation, is set such that the distance of sticking between the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 is a predetermined length λ. It is maintained until it reaches, and when it reaches the predetermined length λ, it is further switched to the bonding operation speed v3.
 したがって、v1~v3の速度は、図4の実施例1~実施例6に示めされるように、
v1≧v2、v3≫v1
の関係を有しており、生産性の観点から
v1>v2、v3≫v1
の関係を有するようにすることが好ましい。
Therefore, the speeds of v1 to v3 are as shown in the first to sixth embodiments of FIG.
v1 ≧ v2, v3≫v1
V1> v2, v3≫v1 from the viewpoint of productivity
It is preferable to have the following relationship.
 図2C(h1)と(h2)は、次のパネル部材5に貼り合わされるキャリアフィルム2上に支持されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の次の先端部32が剥離体60上の停止位置200に達したときに、図1に示す送り装置8によって送りが停止されるシート状光学機能フィルム3の次の先端部32と、閉作動して回転する一対の貼付ローラ51,52によって貼合運転速度v3でパネル部材5に貼り合わされて搬送される先行するシート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31とを互いに縁切りする工程Fを表す。 2C (h1) and (h2) show that the next leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 supported on the carrier film 2 to be bonded to the next panel member 5 is at the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60. When reaching, the next leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 whose feeding is stopped by the feeding device 8 shown in FIG. 1 and the pair of sticking rollers 51 and 52 which rotate by closing operation. v3 represents a step F of cutting off the rear end portion 31 of the preceding sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 which is adhered to the panel member 5 and conveyed.
 これは、図3の[s18]で、閉作動して回転する一対の貼付ローラ51,52によるシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5の貼合動作を継続する一方で、図1に示す送り装置8によってキャリアフィルム2の巻取動作を止めてシート状光学機能フィルム3の次の先端部32を剥離体60上の停止位置200に停止させ、それによる逆向きの張力によって、先行する後端部31と次の先端部32とを縁切りするステップとして、示される。 This is because, in [s18] of FIG. 3, the bonding operation of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 by the pair of bonding rollers 51 and 52 that rotate by closing operation is continued, while the feeding illustrated in FIG. 1 is performed. The winding operation of the carrier film 2 is stopped by the device 8, and the next leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is stopped at the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60. It is shown as the step of trimming the part 31 and the next tip 32.
 図2C(i1)と(i2)は、本発明の実施態様の最終工程であり、図3の[s19]および[s20]のステップとして示されており、それは、閉作動して回転する一対の貼付ローラ51,52が貼合運転速度v3で作動し、先行するシート状光学機能フィルム付パネル部材としてシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5の貼り合わせが完了したときに、閉作動する一対の貼付ローラ51,52を開作動に切換える最終工程Gを表す。 2C (i1) and (i2) are the final steps of an embodiment of the present invention, shown as steps [s19] and [s20] in FIG. 3, which comprise a pair of closed and rotating When the pasting rollers 51 and 52 operate at the pasting operation speed v3 and the pasting of the sheet-like optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 as the preceding panel member with the sheet-like optical functional film is completed, a pair of closing operation is performed. This represents a final step G of switching the attaching rollers 51 and 52 to the opening operation.
 したがって、最終工程Gは、図2A(a1)と(a2)の表した状態になる。すなわち、停止位置200に停止している次のシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32の位置および角度を2点移動タイプのカメラ検出装置70によって確認する一方、パネル貼合位置100に位置する一対の貼付ローラ51,52は開放されており、次のパネル部材5は貼付前位置600で待機し、開放された一対の貼付ローラ51,52のパネル貼合位置100に搬送される準備工程にあって、次のシート状光学機能フィルム3と次のパネル部材5との貼り合わせの各工程が、それに続き開始される。
 また、本発明の[s1]から[s20]のステップで得られた、パネル部材5の一方面にシート状光学機能フィルム3を貼り合せたシート状光学機能フィルム付パネル部材の他方面にも同様に本発明の[s1]から[s20]のステップを行うことで、パネル部材5の両面にシート状光学機能フィルム3を貼り合せた光学的表示装置を製造することができる。
Therefore, the final step G is in the state shown in FIG. 2A (a1) and (a2). That is, the position and the angle of the leading end 32 of the next sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 stopped at the stop position 200 are checked by the two-point moving type camera detection device 70, while the pair located at the panel bonding position 100 is checked. The pasting rollers 51 and 52 are opened, and the next panel member 5 waits at the pre-sticking position 600 and is ready to be conveyed to the panel joining position 100 of the opened pair of joining rollers 51 and 52. Then, each step of laminating the next sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the next panel member 5 is started subsequently.
The same applies to the other surface of the panel member with a sheet-like optical function film obtained by bonding the sheet-like optical function film 3 to one surface of the panel member 5 obtained in steps [s1] to [s20] of the present invention. By performing the steps [s1] to [s20] of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an optical display device in which the sheet-shaped optical functional films 3 are bonded to both surfaces of the panel member 5.
 ここで再び、図4に実施例および比較例について整理すると、実施例1~実施例6に示される本発明の技術的課題は、シート状光学機能フィルム3の粘着剤層4に糊スジの変形を発生させないことであり、それを実現する技術的解決手段は、まずシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を剥離体60の頂部61から突出させないように、すなわち、頭出しさせない状態で剥離体60上の停止位置200に停止させておくことである。 Here, when the examples and comparative examples are summarized in FIG. 4 again, the technical problem of the present invention shown in Examples 1 to 6 is that the adhesive layer 4 of the sheet-shaped optically functional film 3 has a deformed adhesive streak. The technical solution for achieving this is to prevent the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optically functional film 3 from projecting from the top 61 of the peeling body 60, that is, to make the peeling body without cueing. 60 at a stop position 200.
 次に一旦停止位置200から送り出されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32は、パネル貼合位置100に待機するパネル部材5に停止することなく重ねられ、連動して閉作動する一対の貼付ローラ51,52によって挟持され、かつ、貼り合わされ、シート状光学機能フィルム3の後端部31が次のシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32と縁切りされるまで、停止することなく送り動作を継続するようにしたことである。 Next, the front end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 once sent out from the stop position 200 is stacked without stopping on the panel member 5 waiting at the panel bonding position 100, and a pair of bonding members that close and operate in conjunction with each other. The sheet is fed without stopping until the rear end 31 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is cut off from the leading end 32 of the next sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 by being sandwiched and bonded by the rollers 51 and 52. That is to continue.
 さらには、剥離体60上の停止位置200から送り出されたシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32は、好ましくは、3段階の異なる速度で停止することなく連続的に送られるようにすることである。第1の速度は、剥離体60上の停止位置200からパネル貼合位置100までの間の所定位置300までの第1ストローク間、すなわち距離δ間の速度である送出速度v1である。 Further, the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 sent from the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 is preferably continuously fed without stopping at three different speeds. is there. The first speed is a delivery speed v1 that is a speed during a first stroke from the stop position 200 on the peeling body 60 to the panel bonding position 100 to a predetermined position 300, that is, a distance δ.
 次に所定位置300からシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5との貼り合わせが所定長さλに至るまでの第2ストローク間の第2の速度は、好ましくは、送出速度v1よりは遅い貼付開始速度v2が選択される。その技術的意図は、開放された一対の貼付ローラ51,52の位置するパネル貼合位置100に予め搬送されたパネル部材5に、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32が停止することなく重ねられると同時に、それまでに閉作動するように閉じられた一対の貼付ローラ51,52によってシート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5とが挟持され、かつ、シート状光学機能フィルム3の送りを止めることなく貼付開始速度v2で貼り合わされるように調整することにある。貼付開始速度v2が速すぎると、調整が益々困難になるためである。 Next, the second speed during the second stroke from the predetermined position 300 until the bonding of the sheet-shaped optical function film 3 and the panel member 5 reaches the predetermined length λ is preferably lower than the sending speed v1. The start speed v2 is selected. The technical intention is that the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is superimposed on the panel member 5 previously conveyed to the panel bonding position 100 where the pair of opened bonding rollers 51 and 52 are located. At the same time, the sheet-like optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 are sandwiched by the pair of attaching rollers 51 and 52 that have been closed so far, and the feeding of the sheet-like optical functional film 3 is stopped. In other words, the adjustment is performed so that the sheets are stuck at the sticking start speed v2 without being applied. If the sticking start speed v2 is too fast, the adjustment becomes more difficult.
 さらに、シート状光学機能フィルム3とパネル部材5との貼り合わせが所定長さλにまで到達すると、それから先の速度は、通常の高速度の貼合運転速度v3に切換えることができる。それは、図4に示すように、そのことによる「貼ズレ」現象は生じないためである。 Furthermore, when the bonding between the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 and the panel member 5 reaches the predetermined length λ, the subsequent speed can be switched to the normal high-speed bonding operation speed v3. This is because, as shown in FIG. 4, the "sticking" phenomenon does not occur.
 因みに、第1ストロークの長さδは15~25mm程度、第2ストロークの長さηは、所定位置300からパネル貼合位置100までの長さγと所定長さλとからなり、(γ+λ)は、3~15mm程度であり、γは1~5mm程度、λは1~10mm程度である。 Incidentally, the length δ of the first stroke is about 15 to 25 mm, and the length η of the second stroke is a length γ from the predetermined position 300 to the panel bonding position 100 and a predetermined length λ, and (γ + λ) Is about 3 to 15 mm, γ is about 1 to 5 mm, and λ is about 1 to 10 mm.
 各実施例についてみると、実施例1は、送出速度v1を10mm/sを所定位置300の直前で貼付開始速度v2の速度を3分の1程度の3mm/sに切換える一方、貼合動作の開始からシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がλに達したとき、すなわち、第2ストロークの長さηに至ると、貼合運転速度v3の200mm/sの高速度に切換えて対応している。 Looking at each embodiment, in the first embodiment, the sending speed v1 is switched from 10 mm / s to the pasting start speed v2 just before the predetermined position 300 to about 1/3 of 3 mm / s. When the leading end portion 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 reaches λ from the start, that is, when it reaches the length η of the second stroke, the laminating operation speed v3 is switched to a high speed of 200 mm / s to respond. I have.
 実施例2もほぼ同様の対応であり、違いは貼付開始速度v2の速度の3mm/sをわずかに早い5mm/sに設定したことである。また実施例4もこれらと大きな違いはない。実施例1との違いは、送出速度v1の10mm/sを7mm/sで若干遅く、貼付開始速度v2の3mm/sを5mm/sで若干早く設定してあることである。 {Circle around (2)} Example 2 has almost the same correspondence, except that the sticking start speed v2 of 3 mm / s is set to slightly faster 5 mm / s. Also, the fourth embodiment does not differ greatly from these. The difference from the first embodiment is that the sending speed v1 of 10 mm / s is set slightly lower at 7 mm / s, and the sticking start speed v2 of 3 mm / s is set slightly higher at 5 mm / s.
 これらはいずれも、糊スジの発生はなく、かつ、貼ズレの基準値を達成し、さらに、生産性も良好という結果である。これらに対し、実施例3は、貼付開始速度v2が10mm/sと速すぎにため、待機しているパネル部材5にシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32がv2の速度で重ねられと同時に一対の貼付ローラ51、52で挟持された瞬間に貼ズレが生じ易く、糊スジは発生しないが、貼ズレに影響を与えるものである。 は All of these results show that no glue streaks are generated, the standard value of the gap is achieved, and the productivity is good. On the other hand, in Example 3, since the sticking start speed v2 was too fast as 10 mm / s, the leading end 32 of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 was overlapped on the waiting panel member 5 at the speed of v2. At the moment when the sheet is nipped between the pair of sticking rollers 51 and 52, the sheet is likely to be misaligned and no adhesive streak is generated, but this affects the misalignment.
 実施例5は、送出速度v1が5mm/sと遅くした分だけ、生産性に多少の影響を与えるものであることを確認している。また実施例6は、糊スジは発生していないが、他の実施例が採用した高速度の貼合運転速度v3の200mm/sに対し、40分の1の低速5mm/sを採用しているので、生産性に影響が生じる。 {Example 5} It has been confirmed that the output speed v1 is reduced to 5 mm / s, which has a slight effect on productivity. In Example 6, no glue streak was generated. However, in contrast to the high-speed laminating operation speed v3 of 200 mm / s employed in the other examples, a 1/40 low-speed 5 mm / s was employed. As a result, productivity is affected.
 図4に提示した比較例1~比較例3は、RTP方式の光学表示装置を製造する方法において、要求される貼合精度を実現するためにシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32をパネル部材5に対していかに正確に位置合せにするかに技術的課題があるため、図5~図7に示されるように、シート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部32を剥離体60の頂部61から頭出した状態で停止することになる。 In Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3 shown in FIG. 4, in a method of manufacturing an RTP type optical display device, a front end portion 32 of a sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is formed by a panel member in order to realize required bonding accuracy. 5 to 7, there is a technical problem in how to precisely position the sheet 3 from the top 61 of the peeled body 60 from the top 61 of the peeled body 60, as shown in FIGS. It will stop in the state where it was issued.
 具体的には、図5は、剥離体60の頂部61から一定の頭出し状態で停止したシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部を検出し、該先端部の検出位置からパネル貼合位置100までシート状光学機能フィルム3を送り、パネル部材5との正確な位置合わせにより貼り合わせるようにする方式を表すものである。また図6は、先行する貼合工程の終了後における次のシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部をパネル貼合位置100で頭出し状態で停止して検出し、シート状光学機能フィルム3の前後の送りを微調整して、パネル部材5とのより正確な位置合わせにより貼り合わせるようにする方式を表すものである。さらに図7は、先行する貼合工程の終了後における次のシート状光学機能フィルム3の先端部を剥離体60の頂部61より上流側に設けた繰出位置まで巻き戻して該先端部を検出し、繰出位置からパネル貼合位置100までシート状光学機能フィルム3を送り、頭出し状態で停止した後パネル部材5との正確な位置合わせにより貼り合わせるようにする方式を表すものである。 Specifically, FIG. 5 detects the leading end of the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 stopped in a fixed cue state from the top 61 of the peeling body 60, and from the detection position of the leading end to the panel bonding position 100. This shows a method in which the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is fed and bonded by accurate positioning with the panel member 5. FIG. 6 shows that the leading end of the next sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 after the preceding laminating step is stopped at the panel bonding position 100 in a crawling state, and is detected before and after the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3. This is a method of finely adjusting the feed of the sheet and bonding the sheets by more accurate positioning with the panel member 5. Further, FIG. 7 shows that the leading end of the next sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 after the preceding laminating step is rewound to the feeding position provided on the upstream side from the top 61 of the peeling body 60 to detect the leading end. And a method in which the sheet-shaped optical functional film 3 is fed from the feeding position to the panel bonding position 100, stopped in the cueing state, and then bonded by accurate positioning with the panel member 5.
 図5~図7に示される比較例の場合、図4に示されるように、貼ズレの精度はクリアしているが、いずれも頭出し後に停止するため、粘着剤層に糊スジの変形が生じることは避けがたいものである。 In the case of the comparative examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, as shown in FIG. 4, the accuracy of the sticking deviation is clear, but since all stop after cueing, deformation of the adhesive streaks in the adhesive layer. The consequences are unavoidable.
