A method for manufacturing an image display device includes the step of forming a cured resin layer 15 by interposing a photo-curable resin composition between a base 2 including an image display unit such as a liquid crystal display panel 8 and a light-transmitting protection member 3 including a light-shielding member 5 and then photo-curing the photo-curable resin composition. In this method, a resin composition having a curing shrinkage ratio of 5% or less, yielding a cured product having a storage elastic modulus at 25°C of 1.0 x 10 7 Pa or less, and forming the cured resin layer having a light transmittance of 90% or more in the visible range is used as the photo-curable resin composition. The method further includes the step of interposing a curable resin composition 11 containing a thermal polymerization initiator at least between the light-shielding member 5 and the base 2 and heating the curable resin composition 11. In this manner, display defects caused by the deformation of the image display unit do not occur in manufacturing a thin image display device in which the resins are interposed between the image display unit and the protection unit including the light-shielding member. In addition, high-brightness and high-contrast display can be achieved, and the resin in the area where the light-shielding member is formed can be sufficiently cured. |
