Abstract: According to a method of manufacturing an image display device of the present invention, a photo-curable resin composition in a liquid state is applied to a surface of a light-transmitting cover member including a light-shielding layer or a surface of the image display member to a thickness greater than that of the light-shielding layer. Then, in this state, the photo-curable resin composition is irradiated with a UV ray to be pre-cured, thereby forming a pre-cured resin layer. Next, the image display member and the light-transmitting cover member are stacked via the pre-cured resin layer and thereafter, the pre-cured resin layer is irradiated with a UV ray to be completely cured, thereby forming a light-transmitting cured resin layer.

Abstract: A method for quickly applying and spreading adhesive between substrates without leaving air bubbles. The method includes holding two substrates apart from each other with adhesive sides facing, a second substrate being positioned above a first substrate. The second substrate is suspended in a manner so as to cause a portion to warp towards the first substrate. After a liquid filler is applied between the two substrates, rollers are lowered onto the second substrate and moved so as to disperse the liquid filler between the first and second substrates. In accordance with the rolling of the rollers, end portions of the second substrate are lowered towards the first substrate.
