An apparatus for manufacturing a chamber, the chamber including first and second glass substrates and an enclosure arranged between the substrates or an enclosure and at least one spacer arranged between the substrates. The apparatus includes a pair of heating plates, having heaters therein, for holding the glass substrates, a temperature controller for controlling the temperature of the heaters, a position alignment device for moving at least one of the pair of heating plates in X-, Y-, and .theta.-directions, a first driving device for driving the position alignment device, a second driving device for moving at least one of the pair of heating plates in a Z-direction, an image monitoring device for monitoring the positions of the first and second substrates, and a control device for supplying a command to one of the first and second driving devices on the basis of information supplied from the image monitoring device

Apparatus for manufacturing an image display apparatus using bonding

A method of manufacturing an image display apparatus, which has a first substrate on which an electron emission element is arranged, a second substrate on which a phosphor that forms an image upon irradiation of an electron emitted by the electron emission element is arranged, and an enclosure which is bonded to the first and second substrates to hold a gap between the first and second substrates, has the steps of applying a bonding agent to bonding portions between the first and second substrates, and the enclosure, heating to a temperature equal to or more than the softening temperature of the bonding agent, detecting the solidification state of the bonding agent, performing position alignment between the first and second substrates during the interval after the bonding agent softens until the bonding agent solidifies, bonding the first and second substrates via the enclosure by compressing the first substrate and/or the second substrate, and releasing the compression force to the first substrate and/or the second substrate.
