Abstract:
1. A system with a linear line structure 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: film feeding lines that are arranged to feed the optical functional films from the first and second continuous rolls in such a manner that the optical functional films being fed are linearly aligned with each other in planar view; a panel feeding line that is placed above the film feeding lines in an overlapping manner and placed to feed the liquid crystal panel linearly in planar view; and a panel turning unit that is provided in the panel feeding line to turn over and horizontally rotate the liquid crystal panel so that bonding of one of the sheet pieces of the optical functional films to the liquid crystal panel from below can be followed by bonding of another one of the sheet pieces of the optical functional films thereto from below.
