Patent ID: 8821966

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an image display device, the method comprising: applying a layer of photo-curable resin composition onto a display-side panel that includes an image display unit and a frame member surrounding the image display unit, the layer of photo-curable resin composition being applied between the display-side panel and a protection member and being disposed across and over both the image display unit and the frame member of the display-side panel, wherein a gap is formed as a result of the disposal across and over both the image display unit and the frame member, a bottom surface of the gap being defined by a surface of a backlight; photo-curing the photo-curable resin composition to form a cured resin layer, wherein: the photo-curable resin composition has a viscosity (as determined at 25° C., using a cone-plate taper angle of C35/2°, and at 10 rpm) of 3000 mPa·s or more and 12000 mPa·s or less, and the photo-curable resin composition being comprised of at least one polymer, at least one acrylate monomer, and a photo-polymerization initiator.
