  FIG. 4 shows a method for manufacturing the protective plate integrated display panel. The protective plate integrated display panel is arranged on the observation side surface of the liquid crystal display element 1 (the outer surface of the observation side polarizing plate 6). Is pasted with the double-sided adhesive film 13, and the liquid crystal display element 1 has both UV-polymerizable and thermal-polymerizable properties near the center (near the center of the screen area 1a) on the surface where the spacer 11 is pasted. A transparent filler 14a made of transparent resin is supplied by a dispenser or the like, and the protective plate 9 is overlaid thereon and pressed, so that the surface of the protective plate 9 facing the liquid crystal display element 1 is brought into contact with the spacer 11 At the same time, the pressure spreads the filler 14a over the entire region surrounded by the spacer 11, and the UV light is kept constant from the outer surface side of the protective plate 9 while maintaining the pressurized state. And during the irradiation, after which the release the pressure, to produce in a way that for a predetermined time, the filler 14a polymerization temperature was hold heat in the atmosphere.

  In the manufacture of the protection panel integrated display panel, the filler 14a supplied on the liquid crystal display element 1 is pressed against the liquid crystal display element 1 by applying the protection plate 9 on top of the filler 14a. The air between the plate 9 is pushed out while being discharged from the missing portion 12 formed in the spacer 11 to the outside, and is filled in the entire region surrounded by the spacer 11.

  In this embodiment, the spacer 11 is formed in a rectangular frame shape surrounding a region corresponding to the screen area 1a of the liquid crystal display element 1, and the missing portions 12 are formed in the vicinity of the four corners. The air between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 is discharged from the missing portions 12 near the four corners, and the filler 14a is disposed in the entire circumferential direction of the region surrounded by the spacers 11. It can be spread and evenly filled into the entire area.

  The supply amount of the filler 14 a onto the liquid crystal display element 1 is surrounded by the volume of the region, that is, the gap between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 defined by the spacer 11 and the spacer 11. The amount of protrusion of the filler 14a from the missing portion 12 to the outside is set as small as possible according to the area of the region.

  The filler 14 a filled in the entire region surrounded by the spacer 11 is ultraviolet-rayed by irradiating ultraviolet rays from the outer surface side of the protective plate 9 while maintaining the pressurized state, and surrounded by the spacer 11. In the region thus formed, the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 are bonded via the layer of the filler 14a which has been subjected to ultraviolet polymerization.

  The irradiation of the ultraviolet rays is performed for a time slightly longer than the time required for the filler 14a to undergo ultraviolet polymerization according to the characteristics of the filler 14a, and thereafter, that is, by the ultraviolet polymerization of the filler 14a. After the display element 1 and the protective plate 9 are joined, the pressurization is released.

  In the ultraviolet polymerization of the filler 14a, the ultraviolet light irradiated from the outer surface side of the protective plate 9 is caused by the light shielding film 10 formed on the outer peripheral portion of the surface of the protective plate 9 facing the liquid crystal display element 1. When the protective plate 9 is printed for decoration or the like, the ultraviolet rays are also blocked by the printed film. Therefore, the light shielding film 10 of the filler 14a subjected to ultraviolet polymerization is In a portion corresponding to the printed film, an insufficiently polymerized portion or an unpolymerized portion remains.

  The underpolymerized portion and unpolymerized portion of the filler 14a due to the ultraviolet irradiation are thermally polymerized by heating to the polymerization temperature of the filler 14a after the ultraviolet irradiation, and the entire layer of the filler 14a is polymerized. Layer 14 is formed.

It can be carried out by leaving the filler 14a in the heating atmosphere maintained at the polymerization temperature for at least the time required for thermal polymerization.

  The protective plate-integrated display panel includes a liquid crystal display element 1 that displays an image and an observation surface that is disposed on the observation side of the liquid crystal display element 1 with a predetermined gap between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the liquid crystal display element 1. A protective plate 9 is provided between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 so as to surround an area corresponding to the screen area 1a of the liquid crystal display element 1, and at least partially in the area and the outside. And a space between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 is filled in a region surrounded by the spacer 11 and polymerized by ultraviolet irradiation and heating. In addition, since the filling layer 14 is provided, the bonding strength between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 can be increased and can be easily manufactured.

  In addition, in this protective plate integrated display panel, the spacer 11 is formed with the missing portion 12 that allows the inside of the region to communicate with the outside, so that any one of the opposing surfaces of the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 can be used. On the other hand (in the above embodiment, the filling material 14a for forming the filling layer 14 is supplied on the surface of the liquid crystal display element 1 facing the protection plate 9), and the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protection plate 9 are supplied. The gap between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protection plate 9 is defined by the spacer 11, and the filler 14a is changed by the pressure between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protection plate 9 by pressurizing them. Can be filled in the entire circumferential direction of the region surrounded by the spacer 11 while discharging air from the gap 12.

  And the said filling layer 14 superposes | polymerizes the said filler 14a with which the said area | region was filled with ultraviolet irradiation, maintaining the said pressurization state, after that, the said pressurization is cancelled | released, The polymerization temperature of the said filler 14a The film can be formed by thermally polymerizing an insufficiently polymerized portion or an unpolymerized portion in the ultraviolet irradiation by leaving it in a heated atmosphere maintained at a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, when the filler layer 14 is formed of a filler having only ultraviolet polymerizability, the filler can be polymerized in the same ultraviolet irradiation time as in the above embodiment. Insufficient polymerization and unpolymerized portions that are not irradiated remain, so that not only the bonding strength between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 cannot be sufficiently secured, but also measures against insufficient polymerization and leakage of unpolymerized fillers. It is necessary to take.

  On the other hand, when the filler layer 14 is formed of a filler having only thermal polymerizability, the heating time required for polymerizing the filler is longer than that of ultraviolet polymerization, and therefore the liquid crystal is used during the heating time. The pressure state of the display element 1 and the protective plate 9 must be maintained.

  In the protection panel integrated display panel of the above embodiment, the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protection plate 9 are filled in a region surrounded by the spacer 11 in the gap therebetween, and are polymerized by ultraviolet irradiation and heating. Since the filler layer 14 is joined, no insufficiently polymerized portion or unpolymerized portion remains in the filler layer 14, and therefore, sufficient bonding strength between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 is ensured. Can do.

  In this protection plate integrated display panel, the filling layer 14 is filled with the filler 14a in a region surrounded by the spacer 11 in the gap between the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protection plate 9, After maintaining the pressurized state of the liquid crystal display element 1 and the protective plate 9 to polymerize the filler 14a by ultraviolet polymerization, the pressure is released and left in a heated atmosphere to leave the filler 14a. Since it can be formed by thermally polymerizing the underpolymerized portion and the unpolymerized portion in the ultraviolet irradiation, it can be easily produced.

  Further, in this protection plate integrated type display panel, since the filling layer 14 formed by ultraviolet polymerization and thermal polymerization of the filler 14a has appropriate elasticity like a rubber film, the protection plate 9 When an impact is applied to the outer surface of the liquid crystal display device, the impact can be buffered by the filling layer 14 to protect the liquid crystal display element 1 from the impact.
