In order to make the operation method, the object and the advantages of the present invention more obvious, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and the preferred embodiments. FIG. 2 shows the polarizing substrate of the present invention. The bonding mechanism of the film and the upper and lower protective film. First, an upper protective film 42 is sandwiched by a first roller set 58 while the lower protective film 44 is sandwiched by a second roller set 60. Thereafter, a polarizing substrate 40 is adhered to the upper and lower protective films 42, 44 by the upper and lower sides of the polarizing substrate 40 via the adhesive 56 and through a third roller set 46, respectively. Subsequently, the bonded polarizing substrate 40 and the upper and lower protective films 42 and 44 sequentially enter the fourth roller group 48 and the fifth roller group 50. During the lamination process, the first roller set 58 and the fourth roller set 48 have different rotational speeds to provide the first tensile stress of the upper protective film 42 for the purpose of improving the alignment with the polarizing substrate 40. The tension of the protective film 42 is the same, and the second roller set 58 and the fourth roller set 48 have different rotational speeds to provide the second tensile stress of the lower protective film 42 for the purpose of being bonded to the polarizing substrate 40. The lower protective film 42 is raised to 0659-A21315TWF(N2); M05025; CLAIRE 7 1307786 tension. When the tension of the upper and lower protective films 42, 44 is increased, the roller group 46 is further provided to form a three-layer polarizing plate 68. From the first roller set 58 (or the second roller set 60) to the fourth roller set 48, the film 42 (or the lower protective film 44) is imaginary before the fit. The adhesion of the polarizing substrate 40 is better and the rigidity is also released θ, and the rigidity of the three-layer polarizing plate 68 is maintained, and the remaining width of the polarizing plate 68 can be further reduced, and the 'fourth roller group 48 and the fifth roller level are evaluated. . , , the purpose of the gp 1 # tension in the high tension of the polarizing plate is gradually released, "I 疋 from the rotation of the wheel set 50 and the fourth roller set 48 difference, so that the fifth roller can be used to produce a smaller than the stem island The third tensile stress of the tensile stress of Chu is to relieve the tension of the younger brother and the younger brother. In the present embodiment, the first and second are 700_2000 kg force (Kgf). Referring to FIG. 2, in the preferred embodiment, between the wheel set 46 and the fourth roller set 48 or the fourth roller set 48 m 50, a first oven 52 and a μ _ y The group brothers are in an oven 54, and the polarizing substrate 40 and the upper and lower protective thinners are attached to the fork film 42 and the 44 of the tincture 56 to be dried to allow the polarizing substrate 40 to be placed thereon. The upper and lower sides of the π are more firmly bonded to the upper and lower securing films 42, 44. In general, the bake temperature is only 50% of the first oven, and the release temperature of the three sets of polarizing plates 68 is preferably set. The baking temperature can be set to 50 to 75 ° C, and the first can be set to 60 to 90 ° C. Wherein the polarizing substrate film 40 can be a high-altitude early-bonding film, such as polyvinyl alcohol (???11?1?8?11?11???). The upper protective film 42 and the lower protective film 44 may be a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film. A glue can be used for the adhesive. In this example, the rigidity of the three-layer polarizer is 0659-A21315TWF(N2); M05025; CLAIRE 8 1307786 is provided by cellulose triacetate, and when cellulose triacetate has good rigidity, the 4' polarizer is more resistant to The change in temperature causes a strong shrinkage of polyvinyl alcohol. Since the shrinkage of the PVA under temperature changes easily causes light leakage in the dark state of the liquid crystal display, resulting in unevenness of the kneading surface, the rigidity of the polarizing plate contributes to the stability of the liquid crystal display. In the bonding mechanism of the present invention, before the upper and lower protective films 42 and 44 are not attached to the polarizing substrate 40, the first roller group 58 (or the second roller group 60) and the fourth roller group 48 are respectively used. The first tensile stress (or the second tensile stress) is applied in order to increase the tension of the upper and lower protective films 42, 44 before bonding. When the upper and lower protective films 42, 44 are adhered to the polarizing substrate 4 by a fast dry adhesive 56 under high tension, the stress provided by the roller sets 58, 60 and 48 is stored by the adhesive 56. The polarization of the polarizing plate is improved between the polarizing substrate 4 and the upper and lower protective films 42 and 44. The increase in the rigidity of the polarizer means that it is not easily deformed at high temperatures. When the φ plate is tempered by the change of temperature, the expansion coefficient of the polarizing substrate is larger than that of the protective film on both sides. Therefore, when the swell is the most severe polarized light, the body is deformed due to the tension. The protective film for improving rigidity is adhered to both sides of the polarizing substrate by adhesive bonding, and the strong and bulging of the polarizing substrate can be suppressed. Thus, the polarizing plate can improve the rigidity against the bulging phenomenon caused by the temperature change. The increase in the rigidity of the polarizing plate can improve the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state, and contributes to the stability of the liquid crystal display. Moreover, it is less likely to produce a sticky sheet for the automatic lamination of the subsequent liquid crystal display process. </ RTI> </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
