- the optical film sheet 28f is moved in the vertical direction so that the front end of the optical film sheet is moved to the first partial row 70-1. In the vertical direction. That is, the display surfaces 1d of the display cells belonging to the partial row 70-1 are aligned with the tip of the optical film sheet 28f.
- the optical film sheet is continuously bonded in the horizontal direction to the partial row 70-1 located on the left side in the first row in the feeding direction.
- the optical film sheet 21f is moved in the vertical direction (right side in the feed direction) by the vertical dimension of the partial row by the movement of the bonding mechanism 20, and as shown in FIG.
- the pasting position is aligned with the display cell 1 belonging to the partial row 70-2 on the right side of the first row in the feed direction. Since the mother board B moves in the horizontal direction for bonding, the mother board B moves backward (in the opposite direction to the bonding direction) by the horizontal width W of the display surface 1d.
- the optical film sheet 28f is bonded to the display cells 1 belonging to the partial row 70-2.
- the bonding mechanism 20 is moved in the vertical direction (left side in the feeding direction), and the mother board B is moved forward, as shown in FIG.
- the second partial column 70-1 is aligned with the bonding position, and the optical film is bonded to the display cells belonging to the second partial column 70-1.
- the mother board B is moved, and as shown in FIG. 27E, the optical film sheet 28f is bonded to the display cell 1 belonging to the second partial row 70-2.
- the mother board B since the mother board B is not moved in the vertical direction, the size in the vertical direction of the bonding station IV can be reduced, so that space can be saved.
- each column is bonded from the display cell 1 belonging to the partial column 70-1, but the bonding may be performed in a different order depending on the column. For example, by bonding the second row from the display cells belonging to the partial row 70-2, the mother board B or the optical film sheet is moved in the vertical direction when the row is moved from the first row to the second row. There is no need. That is, when performing the alignment between the optical display film and the display cell between the columns, the alignment in the vertical direction can be omitted.
- display for one column is performed by pasting the three display cells 1 twice with respect to the column composed of six display cells 1 per column.
- the bonding to the two display cells may be performed three times. Further, the bonding to one display cell may be performed six times. When there is no excess optical film remaining outside the display surface 1d, it is not necessary to cut the optical film at the cutting station VI.
- the number of display cells per column is not limited to six as long as it is plural.
