A display substrate and a sealing member are affixed, an element formation surface of the display substrate having an electroluminescence element formed thereon and the sealing member having an adhesive applied thereon in advance on the side opposing the element formation surface of the display substrate. After the affixing process, pressure is applied to the adhesive which is applied in a manner to surround the element layer formation region of the display substrate by pressing the substrates, to deform the adhesive and to achieve a predetermined gap. The adhesive is irradiated with ultraviolet light and is cured, to adhere the substrates. During the application of the adhesive before adhering, an opening is formed in the application pattern of the adhesive in such a manner that the opening does not close by the application of pressure. After the substrates are adhered with a predetermined gap therebetween, the opening is closed to completely seal the element surface of the display substrate. |
