A manufacturing method of a flat-panel display device that is comprised of;
- a display panel, a main surface of which is substantially a viewing area;
- a bezel cover formed of a metal frame, which covers a fringe part of the display panel;
- and a touchscreen panel that is arranged to cover the viewing area of the display panel so that the bezel cover is sandwiched between the fringe part of the display panel and a fringe part of the touchscreen panel;
- comprising:
- forming said metal frame by a metal-sheet working, from a metal sheet having no resin coating layer;
- and outsert molding, in which said metal frame is positioned in a forming tool and then a black resin material in a molten state is introduced into the forming tool so as to form a black resin part that covers at least an inner fringe of said metal frame as well as its vicinity on a surface facing the touchscreen panel.
