A system for manufacturing an optical display device includes providing a roll of a belt-shaped sheet material including an optical film and a release film, which has score lines previously formed by cutting layers of the material other than the release film. The optical film is bonded to a rectangular optical display unit of the display device. In the bonding steps, a first optical film is divided by the score lines into pieces each having a length corresponding to a long side of the display unit, and a second optical film is divided by the score lines into pieces each having a length corresponding to a short side of the display unit. The first optical film has a first polarizing plate whose longitudinal direction is parallel to its absorption axis, and the second optical film has a second polarizing plate whose longitudinal direction is parallel to its absorption axis.

A method for aligning film sheets and rectangular panels in a continuous manufacturing system of display panels, each of the film sheets being formed between two longitudinally adjacent slit lines, one on an upstream side and the other on a downstream side, and extending in a transverse direction with respect to a feeding direction of a strip shaped film laminate, such that the rectangular panels conveyed to the lamination position are overlapped with the film sheets conveyed to the lamination position. The method includes steps of; angularly adjusting the rectangular panel conveyed to the lamination position such that a center line extending in the feeding direction of the rectangular panels is parallel to the center line extending in the feeding direction of the film sheets conveyed to the lamination position; and position adjusting the angularly adjusted rectangular panels by shifting for a displacement from a position of the film sheets conveyed to the lamination position.

Provided are an optical display device manufacturing system and a method for manufacturing an optical display device which can bond optical films to both surfaces of a liquid crystal cell in good condition with a simpler constitution. A first optical film F11 is fed in an orthogonal direction with respect to the width direction from a first material roll R1 formed by winding the first optical film F11 in such a manner that an absorption axis B1 extends in the orthogonal direction, and then the first optical film F11 is cut and bonded to one surface of a liquid crystal cell. A second optical film F21 is fed in an orthogonal direction with respect to the width direction from a second material roll R2 formed by winding the second optical film F21 in such a manner that an absorption axis B2 extends in the width direction, and then the second optical film F21 is cut and bonded to the other surface of the liquid crystal cell. Accordingly, it is possible to bond the first optical film F11 and the second optical film F21 in the crossed nicols relation, without the provision of the mechanism for rotating the liquid crystal cell W or the like.
