Method for manufacturing optical component

The invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical component. The method of manufacturing the optical component includes a cutting step of cutting a laminated structure (2) with a pair of rotating blades (b1) and (b2), wherein the laminated structure (2) includes a plurality of laminated bodies (4) laminated on each other. The laminated body (4) includes a plurality of optical films laminated on each other, the laminated structure (2) has two opposite end faces (f1) and (f2), and the laminated structure (2) is connected to the upper surface of the laminated structure (tf) and a clamp (12) in contact with the lower surface (uf). A rotary knife (b1) one one side is in contact with one end surface (f1) of the laminated structure (2). An other rotating knife (b2) is in contact with the other end surface (f2) of the laminated structure (2). The opposing end surfaces (f1) and (f2) are cut by a pair of rotating blades (b1) and (b2) substantially simultaneously so that at least a part of at least one of the
