Description
本発明は、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、シート状光学機能フィルムの一部をパネル部材の後端部から突出させた状態でパネル部材に貼り合わせたときにパネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとの積層体の後端部付近に発生する気泡を解消することができる、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 of manufacturing an optical display device. More specifically, the present invention provides a laminate of a panel member and a sheet-like optical functional film when the sheet-like optical functional film is bonded to the panel member in a state where a part of the sheet-like optical functional film protrudes from the rear end portion of the panel member. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical display device that can eliminate bubbles generated near the rear end of a body.
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)方式の製造方法が採用されつつある(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フィルムとを含んで構成されている。光学フィルムは、単層のものであっても複層のものであってもよい。繰り出された帯状の光学フィルム積層体には、通常、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る。 At the manufacturing site of optical display devices, a roll-to-panel (RTP) manufacturing method is being adopted (for example, Patent Document 1). In the RTP method, 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 band-shaped optical film laminate includes a band-shaped carrier film, an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the carrier film, and an optical film supported on the carrier film via the adhesive layer. It is configured. The optical film may be a single layer or a multilayer. Usually, a cut optical line is continuously formed in the width direction in the drawn strip-shaped optical film laminate, whereby a sheet-like optical functional film is formed between adjacent cut lines.
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、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、貼合位置に送られる。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、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、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。貼合位置に到達したシート状光学機能フィルムは、一対の貼合ローラを有する貼合手段によって、別途貼合位置に搬送されたパネル部材の対応する貼合面と貼り合わされる。 The sheet-like optical functional film continuously supported on the carrier film is peeled from the carrier film together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by a peeling means arranged near the bonding position, and sent to the bonding position. In the peeling means, the carrier film side of the optical film laminate is wound around the top of the substantially wedge-shaped peeling means having a top facing the bonding position. The sheet-like optical functional film is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer from the carrier film by carrying the carrier film wound around the peeling means while folding it back in a direction substantially opposite to the carrying direction of the sheet-like optical functional film toward the bonding position. Is peeled off. The sheet-like optical functional film that has reached the bonding position is bonded to the corresponding bonding surface of the panel member that has been separately conveyed to the bonding position by the bonding means having a pair of bonding rollers.
一方、近年、光学的表示装置においては、小型化、薄型化及び軽量化が一層進んでおり、それに伴って、液晶表示領域を囲む枠部分の狭小化すなわち狭額縁化のみならず、無額縁化が要請されている。こうした要請に応えるための方法として、パネル部材より大きなシート状光学機能フィルムをパネル部材に貼り合わせ、パネル部材の端部からはみ出したフィルムの余剰部分をパネル部材の端部に沿って切り離す技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2)。特許文献2においては、余剰部分を切り離す工程は一連の製造装置内で行われており、製造装置からの成果品として得られる光学的表示装置は、余剰部分がパネル部材の端部に沿って切り離され、光学機能フィルムが貼合面に対応する大きさとなったものである。 On the other hand, in recent years, optical display devices have been further reduced in size, thickness, and weight, and accordingly, not only the frame portion surrounding the liquid crystal display area is narrowed, that is, the frame is narrowed, but also no frame. Is requested. As a method to meet these demands, a technology has been proposed in which a sheet-like optical functional film larger than the panel member is bonded to the panel member, and the excess portion of the film protruding from the end of the panel member is cut along the end of the panel member. (For example, Patent Document 2). In Patent Document 2, the process of separating the surplus portion is performed in a series of manufacturing apparatuses, and in the optical display device obtained as a product from the manufacturing apparatus, the surplus part is separated along the end of the panel member. Thus, the optical functional film has a size corresponding to the bonding surface.
無額縁化は、RTP方式の製造方法において、パネル部材の端部からシート状光学機能フィルムを突出させた状態で、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た後、フィルムの突出部分をパネル部材の端部に沿って切り離すことによって、達成することができる。 In the manufacturing method of the RTP method, the frame-less frame is obtained by sticking the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film together with the sheet-like optical functional film protruding from the end of the panel member. This can be achieved by cutting along the edge of the panel member.
しかし、RTP方式の製造方法において、パネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとを、パネル部材の搬送方向に向かって後端部からシート状光学機能フィルムの一部を突出させた状態で貼り合わせた場合には、図1の例に示されるように、パネル部材の後端部付近(典型的には、パネル部材の貼合面の後端から約1mmの位置)においてパネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとの間に気泡が発生するという問題がある。図1(a)は実際にパネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとの間に発生した気泡を撮影した写真であり、図1(b)は、パネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとの積層体の側面視による模式図である。なお、図1は、CF側パネルとTFT側パネルとを有する液晶パネルにおいて、CF側パネルにフィルムが貼り合わされたときの気泡発生の状態の例を示している。この場合には、TFT側パネル後端が本明細書におけるパネル部材の「後端部」に相当し、CF側パネルのフィルムとの貼合面の後端が本明細書における「貼合面後端」に相当する。一方、例えば、図1の例においてTFT側パネルにフィルムが貼り合わされる場合には、TFT側パネル後端がパネル部材の「後端部」に相当し、TFT側パネルのフィルムとの貼合面の後端が本明細書における「貼合面後端」に相当することになる。また、図1の例とは異なり、例えばTFT側パネルとCF側パネルとが、それぞれの後端の端面が面一となるように積層された構成のパネル部材も考えられ、この場合には、パネル部材の後端部の縁部が本明細書における「貼合面後端」に相当する。 However, in the manufacturing method of the RTP method, when the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film are bonded together with a part of the sheet-like optical functional film protruding from the rear end portion in the transport direction of the panel member. 1, as shown in the example of FIG. 1, the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the panel member (typically, the position of about 1 mm from the rear end of the bonding surface of the panel member). There is a problem that bubbles are generated between. FIG. 1A is a photograph of air bubbles actually generated between the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film, and FIG. 1B is a photograph of a laminate of the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film. It is a schematic diagram by a side view. FIG. 1 shows an example of a state of generation of bubbles when a film is bonded to the CF side panel in a liquid crystal panel having a CF side panel and a TFT side panel. In this case, the rear end of the TFT side panel corresponds to the “rear end” of the panel member in this specification, and the rear end of the bonding surface with the film of the CF side panel is “after the bonding surface” in this specification. It corresponds to the “end”. On the other hand, for example, when a film is bonded to the TFT side panel in the example of FIG. 1, the rear end of the TFT side panel corresponds to the “rear end portion” of the panel member, and the bonding surface to the film of the TFT side panel The rear end corresponds to “the rear end of the bonding surface” in the present specification. In addition, unlike the example of FIG. 1, for example, a panel member in which the TFT side panel and the CF side panel are laminated so that the end surfaces of the respective rear ends are flush with each other is conceivable. The edge part of the rear-end part of a panel member is equivalent to the "bonding surface rear end" in this specification.
この気泡は、パネル部材の貼合面の後端まで貼り終えた貼合ローラが、貼合面の後端から突出したシート状光学機能フィルムの部分をそのまま押圧することによって、突出したフィルム部分がパネル部材の厚さ方向に押し付けられときに、パネル部材の後端部付近において既にパネル部材に貼り合わされたシート状光学機能フィルムが、パネル部材の貼合面の後端を支点として浮き上がることが原因で発生するものと考えられる。 This bubble is formed by pressing the part of the sheet-like optical functional film protruding from the rear end of the bonding surface as it is pasted to the rear end of the bonding surface of the panel member. When pressed in the thickness direction of the panel member, the sheet-like optical functional film that has already been bonded to the panel member in the vicinity of the rear end of the panel member floats with the rear end of the bonding surface of the panel member as a fulcrum It is thought that it occurs in.
また、パネル部材の貼合面の後端まで貼り終えた貼合ローラが、貼合面の後端から突出したシート状光学機能フィルムの部分をそのまま押圧すると、突出したフィルム部分において露出している接着剤層の接着剤が貼合ローラに付着するおそれがある。 Moreover, when the bonding roller that has been bonded to the rear end of the bonding surface of the panel member presses the portion of the sheet-like optical functional film protruding from the rear end of the bonding surface as it is, it is exposed at the protruding film portion. There exists a possibility that the adhesive agent of an adhesive bond may adhere to a bonding roller.
本発明は、パネル部材の少なくとも後端部からシート状光学機能フィルムの一部が突出した光学的表示装置を製造する際に、パネル部材の後端部付近において光学機能フィルムとパネル部材との間に気泡を発生させない製造方法を提供することを課題とする。
また、本発明は、パネル部材の少なくとも後端部からシート状光学機能フィルムの一部が突出した光学的表示装置を製造する際に、貼合ローラに接着剤が付着しない製造方法を提供することを別の課題とする。
When manufacturing an optical display device in which a part of the sheet-like optical functional film protrudes from at least the rear end of the panel member, the present invention provides a gap between the optical functional film and the panel member in the vicinity of the rear end of the panel member. It is an object to provide a manufacturing method that does not generate bubbles.
Moreover, this invention provides the manufacturing method in which an adhesive agent does not adhere to a bonding roller, when manufacturing the optical display apparatus from which the part of the sheet-like optical functional film protruded from at least the rear-end part of the panel member. Is another issue.
上記の課題は、パネル部材の後端部付近におけるパネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルムとの貼合速度を100mm/秒未満とすることによって、解決することができる。 Said subject can be solved by making the bonding speed | rate of the panel member and sheet-like optical function film in the rear-end part vicinity of a panel member less than 100 mm / sec.
本発明は、光学的表示装置を製造する方法を提供する。本方法において製造される光学的表示装置は、パネル部材の少なくとも後端部からシート状光学機能フィルムの一部が突出したものである。この光学的表示装置は、キャリアフィルムと、該キャリアフィルム上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連続的に支持されたシート状光学機能フィルムとを含む帯状の光学フィルム積層体から、粘着剤層と共にシート状光学機能フィルムを剥離し、シート状光学機能フィルムを、該シート状光学機能フィルムの一部をパネル部材の少なくとも後端部から突出させた状態で、一対の貼合ローラによりパネル部材の貼合面に貼り合わせることによって、製造される。 The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an optical display device. In the optical display device manufactured by this method, a part of the sheet-like optical functional film protrudes from at least the rear end of the panel member. This optical display device includes a carrier film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the carrier film, and a belt-like optical functional film continuously supported on the carrier film via the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer From the optical film laminate, the sheet-like optical functional film is peeled off together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the sheet-like optical functional film is partially protruded from at least the rear end of the panel member. It is manufactured by bonding to the bonding surface of a panel member with a pair of bonding rollers.
本方法は、キャリアフィルムを剥離体で折り返しながら搬送することにより、シート状光学機能フィルムを粘着剤層と共にキャリアフィルムから剥離し、シート状光学機能フィルムの先端部をパネル部材との貼合位置まで進める工程と、パネル部材を貼合位置まで進める工程と、貼合位置において、パネル部材の貼合面先端から貼合面後端まで、一対の貼合ローラにより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工程とを含む。本方法においては、貼合面後端から貼合面前端側に向かって2mm以上の所定位置から、貼合面後端まで、100mm/秒未満の貼合速度で、パネル部材とシート状光学機能フィルム積層体とを貼り合わせる。 This method peels the sheet-like optical functional film from the carrier film together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by conveying the carrier film while folding it back with a peelable body, and the leading end of the sheet-like optical functional film to the bonding position with the panel member. In the step of advancing, the step of advancing the panel member to the bonding position, and the bonding position, from the front end of the bonding surface of the panel member to the rear end of the bonding surface, the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film with a pair of bonding rollers And a step of bonding. In this method, the panel member and the sheet-like optical function are bonded at a bonding speed of less than 100 mm / sec from a predetermined position of 2 mm or more toward the bonding surface rear end from the bonding surface rear end toward the bonding surface front end. The film laminate is bonded together.
一実施形態においては、所定位置から貼合面後端まで貼り合わせるときに一対の貼合ローラからパネル部材とシート状光学機能との積層体に負荷される押圧力が、0.3MPa〜0.4MPaであることが好ましい。 In one embodiment, the pressing force applied to the laminate of the panel member and the sheet-like optical function from the pair of bonding rollers when bonding from a predetermined position to the rear end of the bonding surface is 0.3 MPa to 0.00 mm. 4 MPa is preferable.
一実施形態においては、一対の貼合ローラの一方のローラと他方のローラとが、貼合面後端まで貼り合わせを終えた後でも互いに接触しないことが好ましい。 In one embodiment, it is preferable that one roller and the other roller of the pair of bonding rollers do not contact each other even after the bonding is finished up to the rear end of the bonding surface.
以下に、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施形態を詳細に説明する。本発明は、これらの実施形態に限定されるものではない。
図2は、本発明の一実施形態による、光学的表示装置を連続的に製造する装置1の全体構成の概念図である。図3は、貼合部において、シート状光学機能フィルムを剥離し、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一連の動作を示す。図4は、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際の貼合速度の変化を示す。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of an overall configuration of an apparatus 1 for continuously manufacturing an optical display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a series of operations in which the sheet-like optical functional film is peeled off and the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film are bonded together at the bonding portion. FIG. 4 shows a change in the bonding speed when the panel member and the sheet-like optical functional film are bonded together.
連続製造装置1においては、帯状のキャリアフィルムF3上に、粘着剤層F2を介して、シート状光学機能フィルムF1が長さ方向に連続的に積層された光学フィルム積層体Fを用いることができる。連続製造装置1においては、シート状光学機能フィルムF1を粘着剤層F2とともに帯状のキャリアフィルムF3から剥離し、剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムF1を、パネル部材Wの少なくとも後端部PEからシート状光学機能フィルムF1の一部を突出させた状態で、一対の貼合ローラ23、24を用いてパネル部材Wの貼合面PLに貼り合わせることによって、光学的表示装置Pを連続的に製造することができる。 In the continuous production apparatus 1, the optical film laminate F in which the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is continuously laminated in the length direction on the belt-like carrier film F3 via the adhesive layer F2 can be used. . In the continuous production apparatus 1, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is peeled from the belt-like carrier film F3 together with the adhesive layer F2, and the peeled sheet-like optical functional film F1 is sheeted from at least the rear end PE of the panel member W. The optical display device P is continuously manufactured by sticking to the bonding surface PL of the panel member W using a pair of bonding rollers 23 and 24 in a state where a part of the optical film F1 is protruded. can do.
連続製造装置1の各部の動作は、制御部50の制御手段51によって制御することができ、各部において用いられるデータ等は、記憶手段52に記憶され、必要に応じて利用される。本発明において、シート状光学機能フィルムF1は、偏光フィルム、反射防止フィルム、位相差フィルム、光拡散フィルム、輝度向上フィルム及び表面保護フィルムのいずれか又はこれらの組み合わせを含むものとすることができ、パネル部材Wは、液晶パネル、有機ELパネルなどとすることができる。 The operation of each part of the continuous manufacturing apparatus 1 can be controlled by the control means 51 of the control part 50, and data used in each part is stored in the storage means 52 and used as necessary. In the present invention, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 can include any one of a polarizing film, an antireflection film, a retardation film, a light diffusion film, a brightness enhancement film, a surface protection film, or a combination thereof, and a panel member. W can be a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL panel, or the like.
連続製造装置1は、以下のように動作する。まず、帯状の光学フィルム積層体F’が、ロール11から繰り出される。光学フィルム積層体F’は、帯状キャリアフィルムF3の上に粘着剤層F2を介して帯状光学機能フィルムF1’が積層されたものである。次に、搬送路の途中に設けられた、刃物を備える切断部15において、光学フィルム積層体F’に対して、光学フィルム積層体F’の幅方向に粘着剤層F2と帯状キャリアフィルムF3との界面まで達する切込線CLが入れられる(この動作を「ハーフカット」ともいう。)。このようにして光学フィルム積層体F’に切込線CLが入れられたものが、光学フィルム積層体Fである。別の実施形態においては、予め切込線CLが形成された光学フィルム積層体を用いることもできる。この場合には、切断部15は不要である。 The continuous manufacturing apparatus 1 operates as follows. First, the belt-shaped optical film laminate F ′ is unwound from the roll 11. The optical film laminate F ′ is obtained by laminating a belt-like optical functional film F1 ′ on a belt-like carrier film F3 via an adhesive layer F2. Next, in the cutting part 15 provided with a blade provided in the middle of the conveyance path, the adhesive layer F2 and the belt-like carrier film F3 in the width direction of the optical film laminate F ′ with respect to the optical film laminate F ′ A cut line CL that reaches the interface is inserted (this operation is also referred to as “half-cut”). In this way, the optical film laminate F is obtained by inserting the cut lines CL into the optical film laminate F ′. In another embodiment, the optical film laminated body in which the cut line CL was previously formed can also be used. In this case, the cutting part 15 is unnecessary.
光学フィルム積層体Fは、必要に応じて、フィルムを送るフィードローラ13及び17、フィルムの送り速度を調整するダンサーローラ14及び18、欠点が存在するシート状光学機能フィルムを排除する排除部(図示せず)などを介して、貼合部20に送られる。 The optical film laminate F includes, as necessary, feed rollers 13 and 17 for feeding the film, dancer rollers 14 and 18 for adjusting the film feed speed, and an exclusion unit for removing the sheet-like optical functional film having defects (see FIG. (Not shown) etc., and sent to the bonding unit 20.
一方、シート状光学機能フィルムF1を貼り合わせる被着体であるパネル部材Wは、例えば複数のパネル部材Wが収納されたマガジン(図示せず)から一枚ずつ繰り出され、例えばローラコンベアなどの搬送手段30によって搬送される。パネル部材Wは、位置合わせ部32におけるパネル位置検出手段33によって姿勢が検出され、シート状光学機能フィルムF1のずれの状態に応じて姿勢が補正(位置合わせ)された後に、貼合部20に送られる。 On the other hand, the panel member W, which is an adherend to which the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is bonded, is fed out, for example, one by one from a magazine (not shown) in which a plurality of panel members W are stored, for example, conveyed by a roller conveyor or the like. It is conveyed by means 30. After the posture of the panel member W is detected by the panel position detection means 33 in the alignment unit 32 and the posture is corrected (alignment) according to the state of deviation of the sheet-like optical functional film F1, the bonding is performed on the bonding unit 20. Sent.
貼合部20においては、剥離手段21によって、シート状光学機能フィルムF1がキャリアフィルムF3から粘着剤層F2とともに剥離される。剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムF1は、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の一部をパネル部材Wの少なくとも後端部PEから突出させた状態で、貼合ローラ23及び24によってパネル部材Wに貼り合わされる。 In the bonding part 20, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is peeled from the carrier film F3 together with the adhesive layer F2 by the peeling means 21. The peeled sheet-like optical functional film F1 is bonded to the panel member W by the bonding rollers 23 and 24 with a part of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 protruding from at least the rear end portion PE of the panel member W. The
なお、本発明においては、後端部PEからのシート状光学機能フィルムF1の突出量は、限定されるものではないが、3mm以上であることが好ましい。突出量が3mm以上であれば、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の突出部分を、パネル部材Wの端部に沿って、より安定的に切断することができる。 In addition, in this invention, although the protrusion amount of the sheet-like optical function film F1 from the rear-end part PE is not limited, It is preferable that it is 3 mm or more. If the protruding amount is 3 mm or more, the protruding portion of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 can be more stably cut along the end portion of the panel member W.
シート状光学機能フィルムF1及び粘着剤層F2が剥離された後のキャリアフィルムF3は、巻取手段40によって巻き取られる。パネル部材Wにシート状光学機能フィルムF1が貼り合わせされ、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の一部がパネル部材Wの少なくとも後端部PEから突出したパネル積層体Pは、搬送手段30によって貼合部20から搬出される。 The carrier film F3 after the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer F2 are peeled off is wound up by the winding means 40. The panel laminated body P in which the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is bonded to the panel member W and a part of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 protrudes from at least the rear end portion PE of the panel member W is bonded by the conveying means 30. 20 is carried out.
次に、図3を用いて、貼合部20における動作を説明する。図3においては、(a)から(d)までの順に処理が進むように示されている。貼合部20においては、シート状光学機能フィルムF1が剥離され、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部が検出され、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとが貼り合わせされる。 Next, the operation | movement in the bonding part 20 is demonstrated using FIG. In FIG. 3, the processing proceeds in the order from (a) to (d). In the bonding part 20, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is peeled off, the leading end of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is detected, and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W are bonded together.
貼合部20は、図2に示されるように、帯状キャリアフィルムF3から粘着剤層F2とともにシート状光学機能フィルムF1を剥離させるための剥離手段21と、剥離されたシート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部の姿勢を検出するための先端部検出手段25と、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとを粘着剤層F2を介して貼り合わせるための一対の貼合ローラ23及び24とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 2, the bonding unit 20 includes a peeling means 21 for peeling the sheet-like optical functional film F1 together with the adhesive layer F2 from the belt-like carrier film F3, and the peeled sheet-like optical functional film F1. A tip end detection means 25 for detecting the posture of the tip end portion, and a pair of bonding rollers 23 and 24 for bonding the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W through the adhesive layer F2 are provided. .
図3(a)に示されるように、光学フィルム積層体Fは、貼合部20に搬送されてくる。なお、図3(a)には、先行するシート状光学機能フィルムF1がパネル部材Wに貼り合わせされた直後のパネル積層体Pが示されている。光学フィルム積層体Fは、キャリアフィルムF3側の面が剥離手段21の下面に沿って搬送される。キャリアフィルムF3は、剥離手段21の頂部22に巻きかけられるようにして、貼合位置26の方向とは概ね反対方向に折り返され、巻取手段40によって巻き取られる。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the optical film laminate F is conveyed to the bonding unit 20. Note that FIG. 3A shows the panel laminate P immediately after the preceding sheet-like optical functional film F1 is bonded to the panel member W. The optical film laminate F is conveyed along the lower surface of the peeling means 21 on the surface on the carrier film F3 side. The carrier film F <b> 3 is wound around the top portion 22 of the peeling means 21, folded back in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of the bonding position 26, and taken up by the winding means 40.
次に、図3(b)に示されるように、シート状光学機能フィルムF1は、キャリアフィルムF3が巻取手段40によって巻き取られることにより、先端部から後方に向かって粘着剤層F2とともにキャリアフィルムF3から剥離される。図3には示されていないが、好ましくは、シート状光学機能フィルムF1及び粘着剤層F2は、先端部から所定長さだけ剥離されたときに巻取手段40の駆動を停止させることによって、貼合位置26方向への搬送が停止する。このとき、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部は、剥離手段21の頂部22から貼合位置26までの間のいずれかの位置にあり、この位置において、先端部検出手段25(図2参照)によって先端部が検出される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the sheet-like optical functional film F1 has a carrier film F3 and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer F2 in the rearward direction when the carrier film F3 is wound by the winding means 40. It peels from the film F3. Although not shown in FIG. 3, preferably, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer F2 are stopped by driving the winding means 40 when peeled from the tip by a predetermined length, The conveyance to the bonding position 26 direction stops. At this time, the front-end | tip part of the sheet-like optical function film F1 exists in any position between the top part 22 of the peeling means 21, and the bonding position 26, and in this position, the front-end | tip part detection means 25 (refer FIG. 2) To detect the tip.
必要に応じて先端部検出手段25によってシート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部が検出された後、巻取手段40の駆動が再開される。巻取手段40の駆動の再開に伴ってキャリアフィルムF3が再び搬送されると、頭出しされたシート状光学機能フィルムF1の残りの部分が、粘着剤層F2とともにキャリアフィルムF3から剥離される。図3(b)に示されるように、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部が貼合位置26に達するのと前後して、当該先端部が貼り合わされるパネル部材W上の位置が貼合位置26に来るように、パネル部材Wが搬送される。貼合位置26に搬送されてくる時点では、パネル部材Wは、シート状光学機能フィルムF1のずれの状態に応じて位置合わせされている。 If necessary, after the leading end of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is detected by the leading end detection means 25, the driving of the winding means 40 is resumed. When the carrier film F3 is conveyed again with the resumption of the driving of the winding means 40, the remaining portion of the headed sheet-like optical functional film F1 is peeled off from the carrier film F3 together with the adhesive layer F2. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the position on the panel member W where the leading end of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 reaches the bonding position 26 is pasted to the bonding position. The panel member W is conveyed so that it may come to 26. At the time when the sheet is conveyed to the bonding position 26, the panel member W is aligned according to the deviation state of the sheet-like optical functional film F1.
次に、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の先端部がパネル部材Wの貼合面PLと接した状態で、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとが貼合ローラ23及び24に押圧され、貼合ローラ23及び24の回転に伴って、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとの貼り合わせが開始される。 Next, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W are pressed by the laminating rollers 23 and 24 in a state where the front end portion of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is in contact with the laminating surface PL of the panel member W. With the rotation of the combining rollers 23 and 24, the bonding of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W is started.
上述のように、シート状光学機能フィルムF1の一部がパネル部材Wの後端部PEから突出したパネル積層体Pを製造する際に、パネル部材Wの貼合面PLの先端PA(以下、貼合面先端PAという)から貼合面PLの後端PB(以下、貼合面後端PBという)までを、通常のRTP装置において用いられる一定の貼合速度で貼り合わせると、パネル部材Wの後端部PE付近(パネル部材の後端部からパネル部材の先端部方向に向かって一定の範囲)においてシート状光学機能フィルムF1がパネル部材Wから浮き上がり、パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との間に気泡が発生するという問題がある。この気泡の発生は、気泡が発生する範囲における貼合速度を低速にして、パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1とをより強力に接着させることによって、回避することができる。 As described above, when manufacturing the panel laminate P in which a part of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 protrudes from the rear end portion PE of the panel member W, the front end PA of the bonding surface PL of the panel member W (hereinafter, When bonding from the bonding surface front end PA) to the rear end PB of the bonding surface PL (hereinafter referred to as the bonding surface rear end PB) at a constant bonding speed used in a normal RTP apparatus, the panel member W The sheet-like optical functional film F1 floats up from the panel member W in the vicinity of the rear end PE (a certain range from the rear end of the panel member toward the tip of the panel member), and the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film There is a problem that bubbles are generated between F1. Generation | occurrence | production of this bubble can be avoided by making the bonding speed in the range which a bubble generate | occur | produces low, and making the panel member W and the sheet-like optical function film F1 adhere more strongly.
具体的には、本発明においては、図3(c)に示されるように、パネル部材Wの貼合面先端PAから搬送方向上流側の所定位置PCまでの長さd1の大半の部分は、例えばRTP方式で通常用いられる貼合速度v1で貼り合わせる。パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との貼り合わせが所定位置PCに達したときに、パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との貼合速度を速度v2まで低下させる。その後、図3(d)に示されるように、パネル部材Wの所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの長さd2の部分は、貼合速度v2でパネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との貼り合わせを行う。 Specifically, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3C, most of the length d1 from the bonding surface tip PA of the panel member W to the predetermined position PC on the upstream side in the transport direction is For example, bonding is performed at a bonding speed v1 that is normally used in the RTP method. When the bonding between the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 reaches the predetermined position PC, the bonding speed between the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is reduced to the speed v2. Then, as shown in Drawing 3 (d), the part of length d2 from predetermined position PC of panel member W to pasting surface rear end PB is panel member W and a sheet-like optical functional film at pasting speed v2. Bonding with F1 is performed.
図4は、本発明においてシート状光学機能フィルムF1をパネル部材Wと貼り合わせるときの貼合速度の変化を示す図である。図4の横軸は、パネル部材Wの貼合面先端PAから貼合面後端PBまでの距離を示し、縦軸は、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとの貼合速度を示す。 FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a change in the bonding speed when the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is bonded to the panel member W in the present invention. The horizontal axis of FIG. 4 shows the distance from the bonding surface front end PA of the panel member W to the bonding surface rear end PB, and the vertical axis shows the bonding speed of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W. .
図4に示されるように、シート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとの貼り合わせが開始され、パネル部材Wの貼合面先端PAから所定位置PCまでの部分、すなわち長さd1の部分を貼り合わせるまで、貼合速度v1を最大速度としてシート状光学機能フィルムF1とパネル部材Wとの貼り合わせが行われる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the bonding of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W is started, and the portion from the bonding surface tip PA of the panel member W to the predetermined position PC, that is, the portion of the length d1 Until the bonding, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 and the panel member W are bonded with the bonding speed v1 as the maximum speed.
次に、貼り合わせが所定位置PCに達した時に、パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との貼合速度を速度v2まで低下させる。その後、所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの部分、すなわち長さd2の部分を、貼合速度v2で貼り合わせる。 Next, when the bonding reaches the predetermined position PC, the bonding speed between the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is reduced to the speed v2. Then, the part from predetermined position PC to the bonding surface rear end PB, ie, the part of length d2, is bonded by bonding speed v2.
パネル部材Wの所定位置PCは、気泡が発生する位置より搬送方向上流側(貼合面前端PA側)であり、本発明においては、所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの長さd2は、2mm以上に設定される。長さd2は、2mm以上であれば限定されるものではないが、長すぎると、低速で貼り合わせられる部分が長くなり、生産性が低下するため、できるだけ短くすることが好ましい。 The predetermined position PC of the panel member W is the upstream side in the transport direction (the bonding surface front end PA side) from the position where bubbles are generated, and in the present invention, the length d2 from the predetermined position PC to the bonding surface rear end PB. Is set to 2 mm or more. The length d2 is not limited as long as it is 2 mm or more. However, if it is too long, a portion to be bonded at a low speed becomes long and productivity is lowered.
貼合速度v2は、パネル部材Wの貼合面後端PBまで貼り終えた貼合ローラ23、24によって、貼合面後端PBからのシート状光学機能フィルムF1の突出部分がパネル部材Wの厚さ方向に押し付けられたときでも、貼合面後端PB付近において既にパネル部材Wに貼り合わされたシート状光学機能フィルムF1が浮き上がらないように、パネル部材Wと光学機能フィルムF1とを十分に接着させることができる速度に設定される。本発明においては、貼合速度v2は、100mm/秒未満である。 The bonding speed v2 is such that the protruding portion of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 from the bonding surface rear end PB is the panel member W by the bonding rollers 23 and 24 that have been bonded to the bonding surface rear end PB of the panel member W. Even when pressed in the thickness direction, the panel member W and the optical function film F1 are sufficiently bonded so that the sheet-like optical function film F1 already bonded to the panel member W does not float in the vicinity of the rear end PB of the bonding surface. It is set to a speed that can be adhered. In the present invention, the bonding speed v2 is less than 100 mm / second.
貼合速度v2は、100mm/秒未満であれば限定されるものではなく、速度が遅いほどパネル部材Wと光学機能フィルムF1とをより強力に接着させることができるが、遅すぎると生産性が低下する。一実施形態においては、貼合速度v2は、5mm/秒以上であることが好ましい。長さd2の部分を貼り合わせる速度は、一定である必要はなく、100mm/秒未満であれば変動してもよい。例えば、所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBに向かって、貼り合わせる速度が徐々に減速するようにしてもよい。 The bonding speed v2 is not limited as long as it is less than 100 mm / second, and the slower the speed, the more strongly the panel member W and the optical function film F1 can be bonded. descend. In one embodiment, it is preferable that pasting speed v2 is 5 mm / second or more. The speed at which the portion of length d2 is pasted does not have to be constant, and may vary as long as it is less than 100 mm / second. For example, the bonding speed may be gradually reduced from the predetermined position PC toward the bonding surface rear end PB.
一対の貼合ローラ23、24からパネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との積層体に負荷される押圧力は、少なくともパネル部材Wの所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの部分(長さd2の部分)においては、貼合面後端PBからシート状光学機能フィルムF1の一部を突出させない通常の製造方法の場合に採用される押圧力より強いことが好ましく、0.3MPa〜0.4MPaであることがより好ましい。このように、強い押圧力で貼り合わせることによって、パネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1とがより強力に接着するため、シート状光学機能フィルムF1のパネル部材Wからの浮き上がりをより確実に防止することができる。押圧力は、発生する気泡が製品としての性能に支障を与えない程度であれば、0.3MPaより小さくてもよい。押圧力は、パネル部材Wが破損するおそれがあるため、0.4MPaより大きいことは好ましくない。 The pressing force applied to the laminated body of the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 from the pair of bonding rollers 23 and 24 is at least a portion from the predetermined position PC of the panel member W to the bonding surface rear end PB ( In the part of the length d2), it is preferably stronger than the pressing force employed in the case of a normal manufacturing method in which a part of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is not protruded from the rear end PB of the bonding surface. More preferably, it is 0.4 MPa. Thus, since the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 are more strongly bonded by bonding with a strong pressing force, the sheet-like optical functional film F1 is more reliably prevented from being lifted from the panel member W. can do. The pressing force may be smaller than 0.3 MPa as long as the generated bubbles do not hinder the product performance. Since the pressing force may cause damage to the panel member W, it is not preferable that the pressing force be greater than 0.4 MPa.
また、装置1においては、一対の貼合ローラ23、24の一方のローラ23と他方のローラ24とが、パネル部材Wの貼合面後端PBまで貼り合わせを終えた後に互いに接触しないように構成されていることが好ましい。貼合面後端PBまで貼り終えた貼合ローラ23、24が、貼合面後端PBから突出したシート状光学機能フィルムF1の部分をそのまま押圧すると、突出したフィルム部分の接着剤層F2の接着剤が貼合ローラ23又は24に付着するおそれがある。一方のローラ23と他方のローラ24とが、閉状態のときでも互いに接触しないようにローラ間に間隔を設けておくことによって、貼合ローラ23又は24が接着剤層F2に接触せず、粘着剤の付着を防止することができる。 Further, in the apparatus 1, one roller 23 and the other roller 24 of the pair of bonding rollers 23 and 24 are not in contact with each other after the bonding to the bonding surface rear end PB of the panel member W is finished. It is preferable to be configured. When the pasting rollers 23 and 24 that have been pasted up to the rear end PB of the pasting surface press the portion of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 projecting from the rear end PB of the pasting surface as it is, the adhesive layer F2 of the projecting film portion. There is a possibility that the adhesive may adhere to the bonding roller 23 or 24. By providing an interval between the rollers so that one roller 23 and the other roller 24 do not contact each other even in the closed state, the bonding roller 23 or 24 does not contact the adhesive layer F2, and the adhesive The adhesion of the agent can be prevented.
パネル部材Wの貼合面先端PAから所定位置PCまでの部分、すなわち長さd1の部分を貼り合わせる貼合速度v1は、貼合速度v2と同じであっても、パネル部材Wと光学機能フィルムF1とを貼り合わせること自体に支障はないが、貼合時間が長くなるため単位時間あたりの製造数が犠牲になる。したがって、生産性の観点から、長さd1の部分の貼合速度v1は、貼合速度v2より速いことが好ましく、200mm/秒〜800mm/秒であることがより好ましい。また、貼り合わせ時間ができるだけ短くなるように、貼合速度v1で貼り合わせされる長さはできるだけ長いことが好ましい。 Even if the bonding speed v1 for bonding the portion from the bonding surface tip PA of the panel member W to the predetermined position PC, that is, the length d1, is the same as the bonding speed v2, the panel member W and the optical function film There is no problem in bonding F1 itself, but since the bonding time becomes long, the number of production per unit time is sacrificed. Therefore, from the viewpoint of productivity, the bonding speed v1 of the length d1 portion is preferably faster than the bonding speed v2, and more preferably 200 mm / second to 800 mm / second. Moreover, it is preferable that the length bonded at the bonding speed v1 is as long as possible so that the bonding time is as short as possible.
以下に、本発明の実施例及び比較例を説明する。
表1は、本発明の実施例及び比較例を示す表であり、シート状光学機能フィルムF1がパネル部材Wの後端部PEから突出する量を3mmとしたときに、パネル部材Wの所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの長さd2、長さd2の部分を貼り合わせる際の貼合速度v2、及び貼合ローラ23、24の押圧力を変えた場合に、パネル部材Wの後端部PE付近においてパネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との間に気泡が発生したかどうかを検査した結果である。検査は、気泡の有無を目視で確認することにより行った。
Examples of the present invention and comparative examples will be described below.
Table 1 is a table showing examples and comparative examples of the present invention. When the amount of the sheet-like optical functional film F1 protruding from the rear end portion PE of the panel member W is 3 mm, a predetermined position of the panel member W is shown. When the pressing speed of the bonding speed v2 and the bonding rollers 23 and 24 when bonding the portions of the length d2 from the PC to the rear end PB of the bonding surface and the length d2 is changed, the panel member W It is the result of inspecting whether air bubbles are generated between the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 in the vicinity of the end PE. The inspection was performed by visually confirming the presence or absence of bubbles.
実施例1〜実施例5の結果から、パネル部材Wの所定位置PCから貼合面後端PBまでの長さd2の部分において、90mm/秒以下の貼合速度v2でパネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1とを貼り合わせたときには、気泡の発生がないか、気泡が発生したとしても製品として支障のない程度であった。ただし、これは、長さd2が5mm以上の場合であり、d2が5mmより短い場合、例えば比較例1及び比較例2(すなわち、d2が0又は1mmのとき)には、貼合速度v2が25mm/秒であっても気泡が発生した。 From the results of Examples 1 to 5, in the part of length d2 from the predetermined position PC of the panel member W to the rear end PB of the bonding surface, the panel member W and the sheet shape at a bonding speed v2 of 90 mm / second or less. When the optical functional film F1 was bonded, there was no generation of bubbles, or even if bubbles were generated, there was no problem as a product. However, this is a case where the length d2 is 5 mm or more, and when d2 is shorter than 5 mm, for example, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 (that is, when d2 is 0 or 1 mm), the bonding speed v2 is Bubbles were generated even at 25 mm / sec.
また、比較例4に示されるように、長さd2が40mmの場合でも、長さd2の部分の貼合速度が150mm/秒のときには、気泡が発生した。 In addition, as shown in Comparative Example 4, even when the length d2 was 40 mm, bubbles were generated when the bonding speed of the length d2 portion was 150 mm / second.
なお、長さd2の部分において、一対の貼合ローラ23、24からパネル部材Wとシート状光学機能フィルムF1との積層体に負荷される押圧力が0.25MPaの場合には、若干の気泡が発生するが、この場合には、製品として支障のない程度であった。 When the pressing force applied to the laminate of the panel member W and the sheet-like optical functional film F1 from the pair of bonding rollers 23 and 24 in the length d2 portion is 0.25 MPa, some bubbles In this case, there was no problem as a product.
