Description

本発明は、基板に偏光板を貼合する偏光板貼合方法及び装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a polarizing plate bonding method and apparatus for bonding a polarizing plate to a substrate.

液晶表示装置(以下、LCD)の普及に伴い、偏光板の需要が急増している。偏光板フィルムは、一般に偏光能を有する偏光層の両面あるいは片面に、保護フィルムを貼り合わせられている(図12(B)参照)。偏光層の素材としてはポリビニルアルコール(以下、PVA)が主に用いられており、PVAフィルムを一軸延伸してから、ヨウ素あるいは二色性染料で染色するかあるいは染色してから延伸し、さらにホウ素化合物で架橋することにより偏光層用の偏光膜が形成される。保護フィルムとしては、光学的に透明で複屈折が小さいことから、主に三酢酸セルロース(以下、TAC)が用いられている。偏光板は、通常、長手方向に延伸されるため、偏光膜の吸収軸は長手方向にほぼ平行となる(図12(A)参照)。偏光板フィルムには、基板上に貼合するための接着剤層が設けられていて、その上には当該接着剤層をホコリなどの異物から保護するための剥離フィルムが貼合されている。剥離フィルムが貼合された偏光板フィルムは、長手方向に延伸された帯状フィルムをロール形態として供給される。   With the widespread use of liquid crystal display devices (hereinafter referred to as LCDs), the demand for polarizing plates is rapidly increasing. In the polarizing film, a protective film is generally bonded to both surfaces or one surface of a polarizing layer having polarizing ability (see FIG. 12B). As a material for the polarizing layer, polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter referred to as PVA) is mainly used. After the PVA film is uniaxially stretched, it is dyed with iodine or a dichroic dye or dyed, and then stretched. A polarizing film for a polarizing layer is formed by crosslinking with a compound. As the protective film, cellulose triacetate (hereinafter referred to as TAC) is mainly used because it is optically transparent and has a small birefringence. Since the polarizing plate is usually stretched in the longitudinal direction, the absorption axis of the polarizing film is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 12A). The polarizing plate film is provided with an adhesive layer for bonding onto the substrate, and a release film for protecting the adhesive layer from foreign matters such as dust is bonded thereon. The polarizing film to which the release film is bonded is supplied in the form of a roll of a strip-like film stretched in the longitudinal direction.

従来のTN(Twisted Nematic)液晶を用いたLCDにおいては、基板の両面に偏光板が貼合されたものが用いられており、一方の面には画面の縦あるいは横方向に対して偏光板の透過軸を45゜傾けた第1の偏光板が配置されるとともに、他方の面には第1の偏光板の透過軸に対し直交する方向に透過軸を傾けた第2の偏光板が配置される。このため、ロール形態の偏光板をロール長手方向に対し45゜方向に予め打ち抜いた偏光板チップを透過軸方向を合わせて一枚一枚LCDの両面に貼合する方法(例えば、特開2002−23151号公報)や、ロール形態の偏光板をロール長手方向に対しLCD画面の縦あるいは横方向を45゜傾けて貼合した後に偏光板を切断する方法(例えば、特開平11−95028号公報、図12(A)参照)が案出されている。また、VA(Vertical Alignment)液晶を用いたLCDやIPS(In Plane Switching)方式液晶を用いたLCDにおいては、偏光板の透過軸を画面の縦又は横方向に配置しており、偏光板片を一枚一枚LCDに貼合している。   A conventional LCD using TN (Twisted Nematic) liquid crystal has a polarizing plate bonded to both sides of the substrate, and one side of the polarizing plate is vertically or horizontally oriented on the screen. A first polarizing plate having a transmission axis inclined by 45 ° is disposed, and a second polarizing plate having a transmission axis inclined in a direction orthogonal to the transmission axis of the first polarizing plate is disposed on the other surface. The For this reason, a method in which polarizing plate chips in which roll-type polarizing plates are punched in advance in a direction of 45 ° with respect to the longitudinal direction of the roll are bonded to both surfaces of the LCD one by one with the transmission axis direction aligned (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-2002 No. 23151) and a method of cutting a polarizing plate after laminating a polarizing plate in a roll form with the vertical or horizontal direction of the LCD screen inclined by 45 ° with respect to the longitudinal direction of the roll (for example, JP-A-11-95028, 12A) has been devised. Also, in LCDs using VA (Vertical Alignment) liquid crystal and IPS (In Plane Switching) type liquid crystal, the transmission axis of the polarizing plate is arranged in the vertical or horizontal direction of the screen, Each sheet is attached to the LCD.

しかしながら、偏光板チップを一枚一枚LCDに貼合する方法の場合、かかる偏光板チップを基板に貼合する際に、貼合の直前に偏光板チップの一枚一枚を移載、剥離フィルムの剥離等する必要があるため、工程時間を短縮するにも限界がある。また、偏光板チップは、通常、ロール形態の偏光板フィルムから打ち抜かれたものであるため、巻き癖が発生し易く、偏光板チップを移載したり搬送する際の作業性が悪い。さらに、偏光板チップを一枚一枚LCDに貼合する場合、LCDの片側面が吸着支持されていることが多いため、両面に貼合される偏光板チップの透過軸の方向を合わせてLCDの両面に同時に偏光板チップを貼合することが困難である。   However, in the case of the method of laminating the polarizing plate chip to the LCD one by one, when laminating the polarizing plate chip to the substrate, the polarizing plate chip is transferred and separated one by one immediately before the laminating. Since it is necessary to peel off the film, there is a limit to shortening the process time. Further, since the polarizing plate chip is usually punched from a roll-shaped polarizing plate film, curling is likely to occur, and workability when transferring and transporting the polarizing plate is poor. Furthermore, when polarizing plate chips are bonded to the LCD one by one, one side of the LCD is often adsorbed and supported, so the direction of the transmission axis of the polarizing plate to be bonded to both sides is matched. It is difficult to paste a polarizing plate chip on both sides simultaneously.

また、偏光板をロール長手方向に対しLCD画面の縦あるいは横方向を45゜傾けて貼合した後に偏光板を切断する方法の場合、ロールの端付近で使用できない部分が多く発生する。特に、LCDの大画面化に伴って大サイズの偏光板を用いると、得率が小さくなるという問題がある。また、貼合わせに用いられなかった偏光板の切れ端は複数の材料が複合して使用されているため再利用が難しく、結果として廃棄物が増えるという問題がある。このような問題は、偏光板チップを一枚一枚LCDに貼合する方法の場合にも共通する問題である。また、偏光板をロール長手方向に対しLCD画面の縦あるいは横方向を45゜傾けて貼合する場合、LCDの角度を一定に保つためのキャリアが必要となるため、偏光板の透過軸を基板の両面に同時に連続的に偏光板を貼合させることが困難である。さらに、基板の片面を貼合したのちに反対側の面を貼合する場合にも、第1のキャリアから第2のキャリアに載せ変える際にも角度の調整が必要になるため、自動化するにも複雑な機構が必要となる。   Further, in the method of cutting the polarizing plate after laminating the polarizing plate by tilting the vertical or horizontal direction of the LCD screen by 45 ° with respect to the longitudinal direction of the roll, there are many unusable portions near the end of the roll. In particular, when a large-size polarizing plate is used with an increase in the screen size of the LCD, there is a problem that the yield is reduced. Moreover, since the piece of the polarizing plate which was not used for pasting is used in combination with a plurality of materials, it is difficult to reuse, resulting in an increase in waste. Such a problem is a common problem also in the case of the method of bonding the polarizing plate chips one by one to the LCD. In addition, when laminating the polarizing plate with the vertical or horizontal direction of the LCD screen inclined by 45 ° with respect to the roll longitudinal direction, a carrier for keeping the LCD angle constant is required. It is difficult to continuously and simultaneously paste the polarizing plate on both sides. In addition, even when pasting one side of the substrate and then pasting the opposite side, it is necessary to adjust the angle when transferring from the first carrier to the second carrier, so it is automated. Even complicated mechanisms are required.

ところで、着色防止や視野角拡大等の光学補償などを目的として、位相差膜は、LCDを形成する偏光板等に接着して用いられ、偏光板の透過軸に対し配向軸を種々の角度で設定することが求められる。従来は、縦または横一軸延伸したフィルム(例えば、PET)より、その配向軸が辺に対して所定の傾斜角度となるように周辺を打ち抜いて裁断する方式がとられており、偏光板同様に得率の低下が問題となっていた。   By the way, for the purpose of optical compensation such as coloring prevention and widening of the viewing angle, the retardation film is used by being adhered to a polarizing plate or the like forming an LCD, and the alignment axis is set at various angles with respect to the transmission axis of the polarizing plate. It is required to set. Conventionally, from a vertically or laterally uniaxially stretched film (for example, PET), a method is used in which the periphery is punched and cut so that the orientation axis has a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the side. A decrease in yield has been a problem.

本発明の第1の目的は、基板の両面に偏光板を同時に貼合することができる偏光板貼合方法及び装置を提供することである。   The 1st objective of this invention is providing the polarizing plate bonding method and apparatus which can bond a polarizing plate on both surfaces of a board | substrate simultaneously.

When the cut surface on the traveling direction side orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the first belt-like film 10A supplied from the head advances to a length corresponding to the substrate 1, the first belt-like film 10A is removed from the release film 11A. The first cutting means 31A that cuts at least the polarizing plate and the adhesive layer in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and the release film 11B is stuck on the polarizing plate via the adhesive layer, The transmission axis of the polarizing plate of the first strip-shaped film 10A when the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate combines the release film 11B side and the release film 11A side of the first strip-shaped film 10A.

Thereby, while being able to bond a polarizing plate automatically to both surfaces of a board | substrate simultaneously and continuously, the yield of a polarizing plate can be made into 100%. Moreover, the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate bonded on both surfaces can be made to cross each other and bonded by using two unwinding rolls of the same type.

本発明において適用される帯状フィルム(図1の10A、10B)は、図2(B)を参照すると、偏光板16に接着剤層14、12(位相差膜13)を介して剥離フィルム11が貼着されたものを用いたフィルムである。偏光板16は、TN液晶用のLCDに用いる場合、フィルム長手方向に対し透過軸方向が斜めに配向されたものであるが、フィルム長手方向と透過軸方向の傾斜角が20°以上かつ70°以下であることが好ましいが、より好ましくは40°以上かつ50°以下であり、通常は45°である(図2(A)参照)。このような偏光板の製造方法については、特開2002−86554号公報を参照されたい。偏光板16は、その両面に保護フィルム15、17を貼り合わせることが好ましい。ここでの偏光板16は、フィルム長手方向に対し斜めに延伸された偏光板が用いられるので、以下、「斜め延伸偏光板」ということにする。斜め延伸偏光板16を用いれば、連続的なフィルムの供給が可能となる。また、第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10Bは、第1の帯状フィルム10Aの剥離フィルム11A側と第2の帯状フィルム10Bの剥離フィルム11B側とを合わせたときに、第1の帯状フィルム10Aの偏光板の透過軸方向と第2の帯状フィルム10Bの偏光板の透過軸方向とが直交するような組み合わせで用いられ、例えば、第1の帯状フィルム10Aについて長手方向に対し偏光板の透過軸方向が70°に配向するものを用いる場合、第2の帯状フィルム10Bについて長手方向に対し偏光板の透過軸方向が20°に配向するものを用いることができる。また、第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10B(第1のフィルム片19A及び第2のフィルム片19B)は、それぞれの接着面側から見たときの斜め延伸方向(透過軸方向)が45°で同じものを用いることが好ましい(図3参照)。斜め延伸方向の同じものを用いることで、基板1の両面に偏光板を貼合したときに透過軸方向を交差させることができるからである。なお、VA液晶用のLCDやIPS方式液晶用のLCDに用いる場合、偏光板16は、フィルム長手方向に対し偏光板の透過軸方向が平行又は直角に配向されたものを用いることができ、例えば、第1の帯状フィルム10Aについて長手方向に対し偏光板の透過軸方向が平行に配向するものを用いる場合、第2の帯状フィルム10Bについて長手方向に対し偏光板の透過軸方向が直角に配向するものを用いることができる。   The strip-shaped film (10A, 10B in FIG. 1) applied in the present invention has the release film 11 on the polarizing plate 16 via the adhesive layers 14, 12 (retardation film 13), as shown in FIG. 2 (B). It is a film using what was stuck. When the polarizing plate 16 is used for an LCD for a TN liquid crystal, the transmission axis direction is obliquely oriented with respect to the film longitudinal direction, and the inclination angle between the film longitudinal direction and the transmission axis direction is 20 ° or more and 70 °. Although it is preferably below, it is more preferably 40 ° or more and 50 ° or less, and usually 45 ° (see FIG. 2 (A)). For a method for producing such a polarizing plate, refer to JP-A-2002-86554. The polarizing plate 16 preferably has protective films 15 and 17 attached to both sides thereof. Since the polarizing plate 16 here is a polarizing plate that is obliquely stretched with respect to the longitudinal direction of the film, it is hereinafter referred to as an “obliquely stretching polarizing plate”. If the obliquely stretched polarizing plate 16 is used, a continuous film can be supplied. Moreover, when the 1st strip | belt-shaped film 10A and the 2nd strip | belt-shaped film 10B match | combine the peeling film 11A side of the 1st strip | belt-shaped film 10A and the peeling film 11B side of the 2nd strip | belt-shaped film 10B, it is 1st. Used in such a combination that the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate of the belt-like film 10A and the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate of the second belt-like film 10B are orthogonal to each other. For example, the polarizing plate with respect to the longitudinal direction of the first belt-like film 10A In the case where a film whose transmission axis direction is oriented at 70 ° is used, a film whose transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate is oriented at 20 ° with respect to the longitudinal direction can be used for the second strip film 10B. Further, the first strip film 10A and the second strip film 10B (the first film piece 19A and the second film piece 19B) are obliquely stretched (transmission axis direction) when viewed from the respective adhesive surfaces. Is preferably 45 ° and the same is used (see FIG. 3). This is because by using the same material in the oblique stretching direction, the transmission axis directions can be crossed when polarizing plates are bonded to both surfaces of the substrate 1. In addition, when used for an LCD for VA liquid crystal or an LCD for IPS liquid crystal, the polarizing plate 16 may be one in which the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate is aligned parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the film. In the case of using the first strip film 10A in which the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction, the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second strip film 10B. Things can be used.

斜め延伸偏光板16(保護フィルム15)に接着剤層14を介して位相差膜13を貼り合わせた円偏光フィルムの場合、位相差膜13は、フィルム長手方向に対し直交又は平行な配向軸を有するものを用いることが好ましい。このようにすれば、円偏光フィルムを連続的に供給できる。円偏光フィルムの場合、第1の帯状フィルム(図1の10A)の位相差膜の配向軸がフィルム長手方向と平行であれば、第2の帯状フィルム(図1の10B)の位相差膜の配向軸はフィルム長手方向と直交するものとなる。   In the case of a circularly polarizing film in which the retardation film 13 is bonded to the obliquely stretched polarizing plate 16 (protective film 15) via the adhesive layer 14, the retardation film 13 has an orientation axis orthogonal or parallel to the film longitudinal direction. It is preferable to use what has. If it does in this way, a circularly-polarizing film can be supplied continuously. In the case of a circularly polarizing film, if the orientation axis of the retardation film of the first strip film (10A in FIG. 1) is parallel to the film longitudinal direction, the retardation film of the second strip film (10B in FIG. 1) The orientation axis is perpendicular to the film longitudinal direction.

図4の搬送手段46においては、貼合手段42より下流側の搬送ライン上に切断手段43を有する。貼合手段42より上流側の搬送手段46上では、少なくとも貼合するときまでに基板1の搬送方向の端面が当接して搬送されていることが好ましい。偏光板の得率を高めることができるからである。   In the conveyance means 46 of FIG. 4, it has the cutting | disconnection means 43 on the conveyance line downstream from the bonding means 42. FIG. On the transport means 46 upstream of the pasting means 42, it is preferable that the end surface in the transport direction of the substrate 1 is in contact with and transported at least by the time of pasting. This is because the yield of the polarizing plate can be increased.

図4の切断手段43は、貼合手段42によって基板1の両面に貼合された第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10Bそれぞれを、基板1の搬送方向の前方側の端面若しくはその後方側の端面と平行に切断する。ここでは、第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10Bには剥離フィルム11A、11Bが貼着されていないので、ハーフカットではなく、第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10Bの全体をほぼ同時に切断する。   The cutting means 43 in FIG. 4 is configured so that each of the first belt-like film 10A and the second belt-like film 10B bonded to both surfaces of the substrate 1 by the bonding means 42 is an end face on the front side in the transport direction of the substrate 1 or thereafter. Cut parallel to the end face. Here, since the release films 11A and 11B are not attached to the first strip film 10A and the second strip film 10B, the first strip film 10A and the second strip film 10B are not half-cut. Cut the whole almost simultaneously.

第1の帯状フィルム10A及び第2の帯状フィルム10Bは、それぞれの接着面側から見たときの斜め延伸方向(透過軸方向)の同じものを用いることが好ましい(図5参照)。斜め延伸方向の同じものを用いることで、基板1の両面に偏光板を貼合したときに透過軸方向を交差させることができるからである。   The first belt-like film 10A and the second belt-like film 10B preferably have the same oblique stretching direction (transmission axis direction) when viewed from the respective adhesive surfaces (see FIG. 5). This is because by using the same material in the oblique stretching direction, the transmission axis directions can be crossed when polarizing plates are bonded to both surfaces of the substrate 1.

本発明の実施形態3について図面を用いて説明する。図6は、本発明の実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置の構成を概略的に示した斜視図である。図7は、本発明の実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置の構成を模式的に示した平面図である。図8は、本発明の実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置の第1の搬送部の構成を模式的に示した側面図である。図9は、本発明の実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置の第2の搬送部の構成を模式的に示した側面図である。   Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6: is the perspective view which showed schematically the structure of the polarizing plate bonding apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 3 of this invention.

FIG. 9: is the side view which showed typically the structure of the 2nd conveyance part of the polarizing plate bonding apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 3 of this invention.

図6を参照すると、実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置は、大きく第1の搬送部、反転部、第2の搬送部に分けることができる。第1の搬送部では、供給部から供給された基板(図7の1A)が搬送され、巻出ロールから巻き出された偏光板を所定長さでハーフカットして剥離フィルムを分離して、カットされた偏光板が基板(図7の1B)の下側片面に貼合される。反転部では、第1の搬送部から搬送されてきた基板(偏光板が下側片面に貼合された基板;図7の1B)を、反転後の前記基板の進行方向側の端面が進行方向に対して直交するように、上下反転させ、反転した基板(偏光板が上側片面に貼合された基板;図7の1C)を第2の搬送部に送る。第2の搬送部では、反転部から送られてきた基板(偏光板が上側片面に貼合された基板;図7の1D)が第1の搬送部で搬送される基板の方向と直交する方向に搬送され、巻出ロールから巻き出された偏光板を所定長さでハーフカットして剥離フィルムを分離して、カットされた偏光板が基板(偏光板が両面に貼合された基板;図7の1E)の下側片面に貼合される。   If FIG. 6 is referred, the polarizing plate bonding apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 3 can be divided roughly into a 1st conveyance part, an inversion part, and a 2nd conveyance part. In the first transport unit, the substrate (1A in FIG. 7) supplied from the supply unit is transported, the polarizing film unwound from the unwinding roll is half cut at a predetermined length, and the release film is separated, The cut polarizing plate is bonded to the lower surface of the substrate (1B in FIG. 7). In the reversing section, the substrate transported from the first transport section (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded to the lower side; 1B in FIG. 7), the end surface on the traveling direction side of the substrate after reversing is the traveling direction Are turned upside down so as to be orthogonal to each other, and the inverted substrate (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded to the upper surface; 1C in FIG. 7) is sent to the second transport unit. In the second transport unit, the substrate sent from the reversing unit (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded to the upper one surface; 1D in FIG. 7) is orthogonal to the direction of the substrate transported by the first transport unit. The polarizing plate unwound from the unwinding roll is half-cut with a predetermined length to separate the release film, and the cut polarizing plate is a substrate (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded on both sides; 7 1E) is bonded to the lower side.

実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置の構成について図8及び図9を用いて詳細に説明すると、偏光板貼合装置50は、基板1の一つの端面を進行方向に対し直交させて前記基板1を搬送する第1の搬送手段51Aと、偏光板上に接着剤層を介して剥離フィルム11Aが貼着された第1の帯状フィルム10Aがその長手方向に対し直交する進行方向側の切断面が前記基板1に対応する長さまで進行したときに、前記第1の帯状フィルム10Aを前記剥離フィルム11Aを残して少なくとも前記偏光板及び前記接着剤層を長手方向に対し直交する方向に切断する第1の切断手段52Aと、前記第1の切断手段52Aの切断により切り出された第1のフィルム片19Aから前記剥離フィルム11Aを分離する第1の剥離フィルム分離手段53Aと、前記剥離フィルム11Aが分離された前記第1のフィルム片19Aの接着面を、前記第1の搬送手段51Aによって搬送される基板1の進行方向の前方側の端面と前記第1のフィルム片19Aの切断面が平行になるように、当該基板1の対応する板面片側に貼合する第1の貼合手段54Aと、前記第1の搬送手段51Aによって搬送されてきた前記第1のフィルム片19Aが貼合された前記基板1を、反転後の前記基板1の進行方向側の端面が進行方向に対して直交するように、上下反転させる反転手段55と、前記第1の搬送手段51Aによって搬送されてきた前記基板1を前記第1の搬送手段51Aの搬送方向に対し直交する方向に搬送する第2の搬送手段51Bと、偏光板上に接着剤層を介して剥離フィルム11Bが貼着されるとともに、当該偏光板の透過軸方向が当該剥離フィルム11B側と前記第1の帯状フィルム10Aの剥離フィルム11A側とを合わせたときの前記第1の帯状フィルム10Aの偏光板の透過軸方向と直交し、かつ、前記第2の搬送手段51Bによって搬送される前記基板1の前記第1のフィルム片19Aが貼合された面と反対側の板面側から供給される第2の帯状フィルム10Bがその長手方向に対し直交する進行方向側の切断面が前記第2の搬送手段51Bによって搬送される前記基板1に対応する長さまで進行したときに、前記第2の帯状フィルム10Bを前記剥離フィルム11Bを残して少なくとも前記偏光板及び前記接着剤層を長手方向に対し直交する方向に切断する第2の切断手段52Bと、前記第2の切断手段52Bの切断により切り出された第2のフィルム片19Bから前記剥離フィルム11Bを分離する第2の剥離フィルム分離手段53Bと、前記剥離フィルム11Bが分離された前記第2のフィルム片19Bの接着面を、前記第2の搬送手段51Bによって搬送されてきた前記基板1の進行方向側の端面と前記第2のフィルム片19Bの切断面が平行になるように、当該基板1の対応する前記第1のフィルム片19Aが貼合された面と反対側の板面に貼合する第2の貼合手段54Bと、を備える。   If it demonstrates in detail about the structure of the polarizing plate bonding apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 3 using FIG.8 and FIG.9, the polarizing plate bonding apparatus 50 makes one end surface of the board | substrate 1 orthogonal to a advancing direction, and is said board | substrate. 1 A of the 1st conveyance means 51A which conveys 1 and the 1st strip | belt-shaped film 10A by which 11 A of peeling films were stuck on the polarizing plate via the adhesive bond layer are the cut surfaces of the advancing direction side orthogonal to the longitudinal direction When the film travels to a length corresponding to the substrate 1, the first strip film 10A is cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at least the polarizing plate and the adhesive layer, leaving the release film 11A. One cutting means 52A, a first peeling film separating means 53A for separating the peeling film 11A from the first film piece 19A cut by the cutting of the first cutting means 52A, The adhesive surface of the first film piece 19A from which the release film 11A is separated is cut between the front end face in the traveling direction of the substrate 1 conveyed by the first conveying means 51A and the first film piece 19A. 54 A of 1st bonding means bonded to the plate | board surface piece side to which the said board | substrate 1 respond | corresponds, and the said 1st film piece 19A conveyed by the said 1st conveyance means 51A so that a surface may become parallel. The bonded substrate 1 is transported by reversing means 55 for turning upside down and the first transporting means 51A so that the end surface on the traveling direction side of the substrate 1 after reversal is orthogonal to the traveling direction. The peeling film 11B is attached to the second conveying means 51B for conveying the substrate 1 in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying means 51A and an adhesive layer on the polarizing plate. With The transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate is orthogonal to the transmission axis direction of the polarizing plate of the first strip film 10A when the release film 11B side and the release film 11A side of the first strip film 10A are combined. And the 2nd strip | belt-shaped film 10B supplied from the plate | board surface side on the opposite side to the surface where the said 1st film piece 19A of the said board | substrate 1 conveyed by the said 2nd conveyance means 51B was bonded is the longitudinal direction. When the cut surface on the traveling direction side orthogonal to the direction has traveled to a length corresponding to the substrate 1 transported by the second transport means 51B, the second strip film 10B is left as the release film 11B. The second cutting means 52B for cutting at least the polarizing plate and the adhesive layer in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the second cutting means 52B cut out. The second release film separating means 53B for separating the release film 11B from the second film piece 19B, and the adhesive surface of the second film piece 19B from which the release film 11B is separated, The corresponding first film piece 19A of the substrate 1 is pasted so that the end surface on the traveling direction side of the substrate 1 conveyed by the conveying means 51B is parallel to the cut surface of the second film piece 19B. 2nd bonding means 54B bonded to the plate surface on the opposite side to the combined surface.

実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置50は、図6〜図9においては基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、基板を反転させて、基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合しているが、基板1の上側からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、基板を反転させて、基板1の上側からフィルム片19Aを貼合してもよく、基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、基板を反転させないで、基板1の上側からフィルム片19Aを貼合してもよく、基板1の上側からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、基板を反転させないで、基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合してもよい。基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、基板を反転させて、基板1の下側からフィルム片19Aを貼合するタイプの偏光板貼合装置50であれば、帯状フィルムの下方側の面から切り込む(ハーフカット)ことになるので、ゴミの混入を防止することができるというメリットがある。   The polarizing plate bonding apparatus 50 according to the third embodiment bonds the film piece 19 </ b> A from the lower side of the substrate 1 in FIGS. 6 to 9, inverts the substrate, and moves the film piece 19 </ b> A from the lower side of the substrate 1. Although it is bonded, the film piece 19A may be bonded from the upper side of the substrate 1, the substrate may be inverted, and the film piece 19A may be bonded from the upper side of the substrate 1, or the film piece from the lower side of the substrate 1 19A may be pasted and the film piece 19A may be pasted from the upper side of the substrate 1 without reversing the substrate. The film piece 19A may be pasted from the upper side of the substrate 1 without reversing the substrate. The film piece 19A may be bonded from the lower side. If it is the polarizing plate bonding apparatus 50 of the type which bonds the film piece 19A from the lower side of the board | substrate 1 and inverts a board | substrate and bonds the film piece 19A from the lower side of the board | substrate 1, it will be the downward side of a strip | belt-shaped film. Therefore, there is an advantage that dust can be prevented from being mixed.

実施形態3に係る偏光板貼合装置50において用いる基板1及び帯状フィルム10A、10Bは、実施形態2において用いるものと同様であるが、基板1の縦と横の長さが異なるときは、帯状フィルム10Aと帯状フィルム10Bそれぞれのフィルム幅を基板1に対応して異なる幅にすることがある。これにより、帯状フィルムが巻回された巻出ロールは、サイズ(幅)で区別できるのでロールの交換の際にも区別しやすい。また、円偏光フィルムとする場合、第1の帯状フィルム10Aの位相差膜の配向軸と第2の帯状フィルム10Bの位相差膜の配向軸を同じにする。これにより、基板の両面にフィルム片を貼合させたときの位相差膜の配向軸を互いに直交させることができ、かつ、帯状フィルムを連続的に供給することが可能である。   Although the board | substrate 1 and strip | belt-shaped film 10A, 10B used in the polarizing plate bonding apparatus 50 which concerns on Embodiment 3 are the same as what is used in Embodiment 2, when the vertical and horizontal lengths of the board | substrate 1 differ, strip | belt shape. The film widths of the film 10 </ b> A and the strip-shaped film 10 </ b> B may be different from each other corresponding to the substrate 1. Thereby, since the unwinding roll by which the strip | belt-shaped film was wound can be distinguished by size (width), it is easy to distinguish also at the time of replacement | exchange of a roll. Moreover, when setting it as a circularly-polarizing film, the orientation axis | shaft of the retardation film of the 1st strip | belt-shaped film 10A and the alignment axis of the retardation film | membrane of the 2nd strip | belt-shaped film 10B are made the same. Thereby, the orientation axis | shaft of a phase difference film when a film piece is bonded on both surfaces of a board | substrate can be mutually orthogonally crossed, and it is possible to supply a strip | belt-shaped film continuously.

実施形態3に係る搬送手段51A、51B、切断手段52A、52B、剥離フィルム分離手段53A、53B、貼合手段54A、54B、巻出ロール56A、56B、及び巻取ロール57A、57Bは(図8及び図9参照)、それぞれ実施形態1に係る偏光板貼合装置の搬送手段36、切断手段31B、剥離フィルム分離手段32B、貼合手段33、巻出ロール34B及び巻取ロール35Bとほぼ同様である(図1参照)。   Conveying means 51A, 51B, cutting means 52A, 52B, peeling film separating means 53A, 53B, bonding means 54A, 54B, unwinding rolls 56A, 56B, and winding rolls 57A, 57B according to Embodiment 3 are shown in FIG. And FIG. 9), which are substantially the same as the conveying means 36, the cutting means 31B, the release film separating means 32B, the bonding means 33, the unwinding roll 34B, and the winding roll 35B of the polarizing plate bonding apparatus according to Embodiment 1, respectively. Yes (see FIG. 1).

実施形態3の貼合手段54Aでは、基板1の片面だけにフィルム片19Aを貼合させている。貼合手段54Bでは、見かけ上基板1の両面にフィルム片19A、19Bを貼合させているが、実質的には基板1の片面にフィルム片19Bを貼合させている。   In the bonding means 54 </ b> A of the third embodiment, the film piece 19 </ b> A is bonded only to one side of the substrate 1. In the bonding means 54 </ b> B, the film pieces 19 </ b> A and 19 </ b> B are apparently bonded to both surfaces of the substrate 1, but the film piece 19 </ b> B is substantially bonded to one surface of the substrate 1.

反転手段55は、貼合手段54A、54Bそれぞれにおいてフィルム片19A、19Bを供給する方向が同じ場合、例えば、第1の貼合手段54Aで基板下面側からフィルム片19Aを供給し、第2の貼合手段54Bで基板下面側からフィルム片19Bを供給するような場合には必要である。なお、貼合手段54A、54Bにおいてフィルム片19A、19Bを供給する方向が対向する場合、例えば、第1の貼合手段54Aで基板下面からフィルム片19Aを貼合し、第2の貼合手段54Bで基板上面からフィルム片19Bを貼合するような場合には、反転手段55は不用となる。   When the direction of supplying the film pieces 19A and 19B is the same in the bonding means 54A and 54B, for example, the reversing means 55 supplies the film piece 19A from the lower surface side of the substrate by the first bonding means 54A, and the second Necessary when the film piece 19B is supplied from the lower surface side of the substrate by the bonding means 54B. In addition, when the direction which supplies film piece 19A, 19B opposes in the bonding means 54A, 54B, for example, the film piece 19A is bonded from the board | substrate lower surface by the 1st bonding means 54A, and it is the 2nd bonding means. When the film piece 19B is pasted from the upper surface of the substrate at 54B, the reversing means 55 is unnecessary.

In the second transport unit, the substrate sent from the reversing unit (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded to the upper one surface; 1D in FIG. 7) is orthogonal to the direction of the substrate transported by the first transport unit. The polarizing film unloaded from the unwinding roll is separated from the release film, and the polarizing plate is bonded to the lower side of the substrate (the substrate on which the polarizing plate is bonded to both sides; 1E in FIG. 7). Then, the polarizing plate is cut at a predetermined position.
