Abstract:
A manufacturing system and manufacturing method for an optical display device, which adheres upper and lower optical films to the optical display device using two rolls having optical anisotropies in the same direction, so that the optical anisotropies are orthogonal to each other. The manufacturing system includes a first feeding device for feeding a first optical film after cutting to a predetermined length, and a second feeding device for feeding a second optical film after cutting to a predetermined length. The first feeding device and the second feeding device correspond to the longer side and the shorter side of the optical display unit, so that the optical film having a width corresponding to the shorter side may be cut to a length corresponding to the longer side, whereas the optical film having a width corresponding to the longer side may be cut to a length corresponding to the shorter side.
Abstract:
A method of producing a roll of an optical film laminate strip including a polarizing film includes the steps of: forming a continuous web of optical film laminate including a polarizing film which consists of a polyvinyl alcohol type resin layer and has a thickness of 10 μm or less, wherein the polarizing film is formed by performing an stretching sub-step of subjecting a laminate comprising a continuous web of thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol type resin layer formed on the substrate, to a uniaxial stretching in a lengthwise direction of the laminate based on 2-stage stretching consisting of preliminary in-air stretching and in-boric-acid-solution stretching; cutting the continuous web of optical film laminate along a direction parallel to the length direction to form at least one continuous web of laminate strip having a given width; and winding the continuous web of laminate strip having the given width into a roll.
Abstract:
A method of producing a roll of a continuous web of an optical film laminate, usable in a process of laminating an optical film sheet including a polarizing film and formed to a size corresponding to that an optical panel to a surface of the optical panel being fed to a lamination position, is disclosed. The polarizing film is prepared by subjecting a laminate including a thermoplastic resin substrate and a PVA type resin layer formed on the substrate, to uniaxial 2-stage stretching to reduce a thickness of the PVA type resin layer to 10 μm or less, and causing a dichroic material to be absorbed in the PVA type resin layer. A carrier film is releasably attached to the continuous web of optical film laminate including the polarizing film, through an adhesive layer. A defect inspection is performed for the optical film laminate and the adhesive layer.

Abstract:
Manufacturing method is for manufacturing an optical display panel including an optical cell and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-carrying optical film provided thereon with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer interposed therebetween, which includes the steps of unwinding a multilayer optical film from a roll, feeding the multilayer optical film, feeding an optical cell, peeling off the optical film from a carrier film, and bonding the optical film to one side of the optical cell with a pressure-sensitive adhesive interposed therebetween, wherein the longitudinal length (L) of the carrier film between a position at which the multilayer optical film begins to be unwound in the film feeding step and a position at which peeling is started in the peeling step is 15 times or more the width (W) of the carrier film.
Abstract:
A system for manufacturing an optical display device includes providing a roll of a belt-shaped sheet material including an optical film and a release film, which has score lines previously formed by cutting layers of the material other than the release film. The optical film is bonded to a rectangular optical display unit of the display device. In the bonding steps, a first optical film is divided by the score lines into pieces each having a length corresponding to a long side of the display unit, and a second optical film is divided by the score lines into pieces each having a length corresponding to a short side of the display unit. The first optical film has a first polarizing plate whose longitudinal direction is parallel to its absorption axis, and the second optical film has a second polarizing plate whose longitudinal direction is parallel to its absorption axis.
