Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element by a process comprising feeding optical functional films from first and second continuous rolls with different widths, respectively, which are each formed by winding, into a roll, a long optical functional film comprising a polarizing film, transversely cutting the optical functional films into sheet pieces of the optical functional films, and bonding the sheet pieces to both surfaces of a rectangular liquid crystal panel, comprising: a panel turning step comprising turning over the liquid crystal panel after one of the sheet pieces is bonded to the liquid crystal panel and before another of the sheet pieces is bonded thereto, wherein in the panel turning step, the liquid crystal panel is turned over about an axis not parallel to any of long and short sides of the liquid crystal panel so that a positional relationship between the long and short sides of the liquid crystal panel can be reversed, and wherein in the panel turning step, the liquid crystal panel is turned over about an axis inclined by 45° from a feed direction of the liquid crystal panel to a direction parallel to a surface of the liquid crystal panel.
