Abstract

A film application apparatus removes a glue surface protective sheet from a separated film and applies the film to the panel. The film application apparatus includes a press stage that presses the film from above the film, a press unit that presses an end part of the glue surface protective sheet from below so as to bend and raise the end part of the glue surface protective sheet and remove the end part of the glue surface protective sheet from the film, thereby performing primary removal to the glue surface protective sheet, an application head that is configured to be rotatable around a spindle, and has a curved surface convex toward the glue surface protective sheet and holds the film with the glue surface protective sheet being primarily removed, and a removal tape that removes the entire glue surface protective sheet from the film held by the application head.
