A method of manufacturing a cover film (CLA) includes: sequentially arranging, on a protective film (PF) that is parallel to a plane defined by a first direction (DR1) and a second direction (DR2), an
adhesive layer (AL) and a first release paper in a third direction (DR3) intersecting the first direction (DR1) and the second direction (DR2), kiss-
cutting a portion (RP1, RP2) of the first release paper along a first
cutting line (CL1), arranging a second release paper on the
adhesive layer (AL) exposed by removing the portion (RP1, RP2) of the first release paper, and full-
cutting the protective film (PF) and the
adhesive layer (AL) in an outer edge shape (ED) of a protection target (DD) along a third cutting line (CL3) spaced apart from the first cutting line (CL1).
