Claim:
1. A curved-surface display panel fabrication method for fabricating a curved display panel having a desired curved shape using a flat display panel having a first substrate and a second substrate comprising: partially paring portions of outer surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate, which are to be bent to form the desired curved shape, so as to reduce thicknesses thereof to predetermined thicknesses and thereby form a pared display panel, in the paring first edge portions of the outer surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate, which are not to be bent to form the desired curved shape, are not pared, and second edge portions of the outer surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate, which are to be bent to form the desired curved shape formed by the portions of the outer surfaces, are pared to ends thereof; bending the outer surfaces of the pared display panel to the desired curved shape by bending the second edge portions to the desired curved shape but not the first edge portions; after the paring, forming a reinforcing strip along the second edge portions in a state that the pared display is bent to the desired curved shape, the reinforcing strip extending continuously along an entire length of the second edge portions; and after the forming a reinforcing strip, attaching a reinforcing plate, having the same shape with the desired curved shape and light transmitting characteristics, to the pared display panel using an adhesive layer which is formed on at least a portion of the second edge portions in a state that the pared display panel is bent to the desired curved shape, the reinforcing plate being attached to the pared display panel by the adhesive layer to directly contact the first edge portions, which are not pared, in a state where the reinforcing plate is spaced from at least one of the second edge portions of the outer surfaces of the first and second substrates.
