Method for producing display member and molded product for display member

A method for producing a display member including a display member main body that has a transparent layer and a light-diffusing layer located on a rear side of said transparent layer, and a light-shielding layer located on a front side of said display member main body except a display window, comprising the steps of:

• molding said transparent layer by injecting a resin into a mold, the mold having a gate, through said gate under a condition that a member constituting said light-diffusing layer is first disposed in said mold, and providing said transparent layer with slant surfaces each having an slant angle of more than 45 degrees with respect to an extending direction of a runner that extends sideward from a rear surface of said transparent layer in correspondence with said gate, said slant surfaces being provided around a portion on said rear surface of said transparent layer to which said runner is connected and being inclined so that an inner side end of each of said slant surfaces is located at a rear side from an outer side end of said portion;
• removing said display member main body from said mold, and cutting out said runner at a position along and near said slant surfaces by using a cutting device having a pair of blades that rotate about a common axis;
• and
• forming said shielding layer on at least a front surface of said display member main body and on a rear surface of said transparent layer inside a remainder chip of said runner by spraying a light-shielding material except on said display window from a front side of said display member main body and in a direction parallel to said extending direction of said runner.
