Patent ID: 8177598

Claim:
A display manufacturing method including bonding of a light-transmissive substrate onto a display surface of a display body, wherein the bonding comprises: bending the light-transmissive substrate into an arch-like shape with a bonding surface thereof having a convex shape; putting an adhesive sandwiched between a bonding surface of the display body and a top of a bonding surface of the bent light-transmissive substrate; and releasing the bend of the light-transmissive substrate while moving two rollers, which press a non-bonding surface of the light-transmissive substrate against the display body, from a center of the light-transmissive substrate towards both terminal edges of the light-transmissive substrate in mutually reverse directions along the bending, wherein bending the light-transmissive substrate includes mounting the display body and the light-transmissive substrate together across a compression-deformable clearance regulation member, pressing the light-transmissive substrate at a center of the non-bonding surface of the light-transmissive substrate in a direction of mutually opposing terminal edges of the light-transmissive substrate using the two rollers, and causing a center of the clearance regulation member to be compression-deformed to a greater degree than compression deformation of the clearance regulation member occurring at both terminal edges, and wherein releasing the bend of the light-transmissive substrate includes putting the adhesive sandwiched between the bonding surface of the display body and the top of the bonding surface of the bent light-transmissive substrate and causing the clearance regulation member to be serially compression-deformed from the center towards both terminal edges thereof by moving the two rollers.
