Abstract: The present invention provides a method of alignment between sheet materials, a method of alignment, a substrate assembling method, and an aligning apparatus, which are capable of easily and surely performing highly accurate alignment and suppressing a reduction in material yield. After alignment performed based on a band-like light as a reference, alignment is performed based on a joint of a condenser lens portion of a lenticular lens as a reference. More specifically, the deviation of a liquid crystal display cell in a rotational direction is corrected by using a light emitted from a light source and condensed to be band-like at the lenticular lens as a reference. Subsequently, by changing a depth of focus of a microscope, measurement is performed for positions of a black matrix of the liquid crystal display cell and the joint of the condenser lens portion of the lenticular lens.
