  • Patent number: 9092998
    Abstract: A method for assembling an apparatus including a display sheet having a non-transparent part in at least a part of the display sheet, has a bonding step of bonding the display sheet to a housing. The bonding step has a first step of attaching the display sheet to the housing via a UV curable adhesive, and a second step of causing an ultraviolet light emitting apparatus to irradiate, from an external surface side of the display sheet. The display sheet is attached to the housing with ultraviolet light after the first step so that the ultraviolet light passes through at least a part of the non-transparent part of the display sheet and cures the UV curable adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20130051429
    Abstract: The present invention provides (A) an electronic part including a metal part combined with a non-metal part so as to cover the non-metal part, which electronic part can be assembled (i) with excellent workability, (ii) without requiring a high-temperature condition, and (iii) in a short period of time and (B) a method for manufacturing the electronic part. An electronic part (10) in accordance with the present invention includes (I) a non-metal part (11) and (II) a metal part (14) covering a covered region (11b) provided on a surface of the non-metal part (11). The covered region (11b) and the metal part (14) are combined together via an adhesive layer (12) provided by curing an ultraviolet anaerobic curing adhesive containing a photopolymerization initiator and organic peroxide.
