Patent ID: 8083886

Claim:
A method of producing optical film laminates as products by cutting a laminate that has at least a first optical film, a second optical film and a third optical film laminated to each other, into a desired shape, comprising: a first cutting step of cutting a first optical film web having an optical orientation axis into first cut pieces along first cut lines; a first laminating step of laminating the first cut pieces onto a second optical film web having an optical orientation axis to form a laminate film; a second cutting step of cutting the laminate film into second cut pieces along second cut lines; and a second laminating step of laminating the second cut pieces onto a third optical film web having an optical orientation axis; wherein an angle of the first cut lines relative to the first optical film web is determined to have the first cut lines crossing the optical orientation axis of the first optical film web at a predetermined angle in the first cutting step, and an interval of the first cut lines is determined to have the width of the second optical film web substantially equal to the width of the first cut pieces when the first cut pieces are disposed on the second optical film web to have the first cut lines oriented in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the second optical film web in the first laminating step; and wherein an angle of the second cut lines relative to the second optical film web is determined to have the second cut lines crossing the optical orientation axis of the second optical film web at a predetermined angle, and an interval of the second cut lines is determined to have the width of the third optical film web substantially equal to the width of the second cut pieces when the second cut pieces are disposed on the third optical film web to have the second cut lines oriented in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the third optical film web in the second laminating step.
