Panel reversing apparatus, and system and method of manufacturing optical display element

A system for manufacturing an optical display element by laminating an optical film on both surfaces of a panel, the system comprising:

• a panel reversing apparatus which reverses a panel by supporting the panel, of which an optical film is laminated on one surface, before an optical film is laminated on the other surface of the panel,
• wherein the panel reversing apparatus includes:
• a panel support unit which includes a single surface contact unit contacting only the other surface of the panel to support the panel;
• and
• a rotating unit which rotates the panel support unit so as to reverse a direction, in which one surface of the panel supported by the panel support unit faces, and a direction, in which the other surface of the panel faces.

A system for manufacturing an optical display element by laminating an optical film on both surfaces of a panel, the system comprising:

• a first film device which laminates a sheet piece of a first optical film formed by unwinding the first optical film from a first film roll, around which the elongated first optical film is wound, and cutting the first optical film in a width direction, on one surface of the panel;
• a second film device which laminates a sheet piece of a second optical film formed by unwinding the second optical film from a second film roll, around which the elongated second optical film having a different width from a width of the first optical film is wound, and cutting the second optical film in a width direction, on the other surface of the panel;
• and
• a panel reversing apparatus which reverses a panel by supporting the panel having the one surface on which the sheet piece of the first optical film is laminated, before the sheet piece of the second optical film is laminated on the other surface of the panel,
• wherein the panel reversing apparatus includes:
• a panel support unit which includes a single surface contact unit which is in contact with only the other surface of the panel to support the panel;
• and
• a rotating unit which rotates the panel support unit so as to reverse a direction, in which one surface of the panel supported by the panel support unit faces, and a direction, in which the other surface of the panel faces.
