Method for reinforcing the connection of flat cable member and method for manufacturing image display unit

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for reinforcing the connection between a wire formed on a substrate and a flat cable member with a reinforcing material. The method includes the step of supplying fluid and the step of hardening the fluid to form the reinforcing material. The step of supplying the fluid includes the step of bringing the substrate connecting to the flat cable member close to a jig and then supplying the fluid to a region in which the reinforcing material is to be formed while preventing the outflow of the fluid with the jig.

       10 . A method for reinforcing the connection between a wire formed on a substrate and a flat cable member with a reinforcing material, comprising the steps of:
 preparing a device which has the wire, the substrate and the flat cable member, wherein the wire formed on the substrate and one surface of the flat cable member are connected;   supplying fluid to a region in which the reinforcing material is to be formed; and   hardening the fluid to form the reinforcing material, wherein the fluid is supplied in the supplying step so as to contact said one surface of the flat cable member and the other surface of the flat cable member opposite to said one surface.   
   
   
       11 . A method according to  claim 10 , wherein the fluid is supplied from either surface of the flat cable member in the supplying step. 
   
   
       12 . A method for manufacturing an image display unit, comprising the steps of:
 connecting a flat cable member to a wire formed on a substrate of a display panel; and   reinforcing the connection of the flat cable member, wherein the reinforcing step is executed by the method according to  claim 10 .
