  • Patent number: 8657976
    Abstract: An optical film laminate that has predefined slit lines for enhancing both product accuracy and manufacturing speed in liquid-crystal display element manufacturing to radically improve manufacturing yield. The optical film laminate formed as a continuous web with the predefined slit lines for use in a continuous manufacturing system by laminating optically functional film sheets to liquid-crystal panels. The optical film laminate having defect-free regions having a predefined length corresponding to the dimension of a liquid-crystal panel and defective regions having a predefined length different from the defect-free region, based on the detected position of defects. The optical film laminate having a carrier film releasably laminated to an adhesive layer, wherein defect-free normal polarizing sheets and a defective polarizing sheets are formed on the carrier film by forming slit lines corresponding to above regions along the transverse direction of the optical film laminate.

  • Patent number: 8277587
    Abstract: A continuous manufacturing method and system for liquid-crystal display elements which enhances accuracy, increases speed and improves in yield in the continuous production of liquid crystal elements. The continuous method and system performs steps of, defining a plurality of defective and normal-polarizing-sheet slitting positions on a continuous web of optical film, based on positions of defects existing in the optical film, and applying only normal polarizing sheets to a liquid-crystal panel. The polarizing sheet includes the defective and normal-polarizing-sheet slitting positions recorded as encoded information which is used to determine whether the polarizing sheet defined between slit lines sequentially formed in the continuous web, is a normal polarizing sheet, peeling the normal polarizing sheet from the carrier film and applying the normal polarizing sheet to the liquid-crystal panel.

  • Patent number: 8259263
    Abstract: A roll of optical-film laminate that increases accuracy, speed and yield in the production of liquid-crystal display elements. The roll of optical film laminate is for use in an apparatus for continuously producing liquid-crystal display elements. The optical film comprises a polarizing composite film of a laminate having a continuous web of polarizer and a protective film superposed on one side of the continuous polarizer, an adhesive layer disposed on one side of the laminate; and a carrier film superposed on the adhesive layer of the polarizing film in a peelable state. Defective and normal regions in the polarizing film are determined. According to these determined regions, coded information that specifies positions of slit lines to be formed in the optical-film web are recorded on the continuous web.
