In order to prevent the above problems 1) and 2), as shown in the conventional example of FIG. 4, a spacer 32 formed by cutting a thin film into a frame is provided between the display panel 33 and the optical filter 31. The method of sandwiching is generally used, but it is difficult to position and maintain the spacer film in a fixed position, and the spacer film often protrudes into the screen or jumps out of the outer shape of the panel, resulting in defective assembly.

Further, in an optical filter using a light refraction phenomenon, such as a diffraction grating and a Fresnel lens, the distance between the panel and the optical filter is important. However, in the conventional method using a thin film as a spacer, 3) Since each spacer is thin and light, the films are stuck together, and two or more places to be supplied one by one are supplied and incorporated. The predetermined interval may not be obtained. Moreover, since the thickness of one sheet is thin, it is difficult to detect and eliminate abnormalities during the assembly process.
At present, defective products are disassembled and reassembled.
