Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a spacer assembly having a substrate and a plurality of columnar spacers formed on the substrate and used for a flat panel display apparatus, the method comprising:preparing a substrate and a mold having a number of through holes; arranging the mold on a surface of the substrate to be in tight contact therewith and filling the through holes of the mold with a spacer forming material; curing the spacer forming material by irradiation with radiation, thereby increasing adhesion of the spacer forming material with respect to the surface of the substrate to be higher than that of the spacer forming material with respect to the mold; calcining the spacer forming material with the mold being in tight contact with the substrate, thereby forming spacers on the substrate; and after cooling, releasing the mold from the substrate.
