Abstract
A method for making an image forming apparatus includes an assembly of a first unit provided with an image-forming element and a second unit provided with electron emission devices. A bonding agent is provided at a bonding section of the first unit; the bonding agent is heated, and then the first unit and the second unit are bonded to each other. Alternatively, a bonding agent may be provided at a bonding section of the second unit; the bonding agent is heated, and then the electron emitting members of the electron emission devices are formed. After providing a bonding agent at a bonding section of the second unit, a spacer also may be provided between the bonding agent and the electron emission devices, and then the bonding agent may be heated. In addition, a bonding agent may be provided at a bonding section of the second unit, and then the bonding agent may be heated locally.
