Abstract: The lamination apparatus includes a panel member conveying line for conveying the panel member from an entrance part to an exit part, a first lamination unit provided between the entrance part and the exit part, a second lamination unit provided between the entrance part and the exit part of the panel member conveying line, at the exit part side of the first lamination unit, a first film conveying line for supplying an optical film laminate from a transverse direction with respect to the panel member conveying line between the first lamination unit and the second lamination unit for conveying to the first lamination unit, and a second film conveying line for supplying a second optical film laminate from a transverse direction with respect to the panel member conveying line between the first film supplying unit and the first lamination unit for conveying to the second lamination unit.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing an optical display device by sequentially peeling a plurality of optical film sheets continuously supported on a long web of a carrier film and laminating the plurality of optical film sheets to a plurality of panel components are provided. After completing laminating operation of a preceding optical film sheet to a preceding panel component, a rear end of next optical film sheet, supported on a carrier film which in a state where one of opposite surfaces thereof is folded to inside at a tip-end of a peeling member, is read at a predetermined detecting position as positional information, then a leading end of an optical film sheet is positioned at a predetermined laminating position based on the positional information while peeling the optical film sheet from the carrier film.
