Abstract
A spacer having bending portions in the vicinity of end portions is used, and grip portions provided between the end portions and the bending portions are held by holding units. Tension is applied to the spacer in a longitudinal direction, and the grip portions are rotated to release a rotational moment applied to a longitudinal portion of the spacer. In this state, the spacer is attached to a rear plate.
Claims1
A method for manufacturing an image display apparatus having a first substrate, a second substrate that is arranged so as to face the first substrate, and a plate-like spacer that is provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the spacer includes bending portions that are provided inside of both end portions and are bent in a plane orthogonal to a direction in which the first substrate and the second substrate face each other, the method comprising the steps of:
- holding grip portions that are provided between the bending portions and the end portions of the spacer;
- applying tension to the spacer whose grip portions are held in a longitudinal direction of the spacer;
- rotating the grip portions of the spacer in a direction in which the tension is applied to the spacer in the longitudinal direction in the plane orthogonal to the direction in which the first substrate and the second substrate face each other;
- and
- fixing at least a portion of the spacer that is disposed inside the bending portions to the first substrate.
