PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of protecting a roll mold which can protect a work pattern formed on the outer circumferential surface of the roll mold, as well as a method of manufacturing an optical sheet using the roll mold.;SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing the optical sheet comprises the steps of: arranging a sheet base material 9 around the roll mold 3, then starting the conveyance of the sheet base material 9 by rotating the roll mold 3, starting irradiation of the roll mold 3 with ultraviolet rays, supplying a monomer into a space between the roll mold 3 and the sheet base material 9 and curing the monomer with the ultraviolet rays, and forming a complementary optical pattern to the work pattern on the sheet base material 9. In addition, on the outer circumferential surface of the roll mold 3, a protective film 21 for protecting the work pattern is previously arranged, and the protective film 21 is bonded to the sheet base material 9 by the supplied monomer and removed from the roll mold 3. After the removal of the protective film 21 from the outer circumferential surface of the roll mold 3, the optical pattern is continuously formed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
