On the surface of an array substrate 60, a sealing material 64 is provided so as to surround a display region, and a plurality of spacers 66 are provided in the display region. The array substrate 60 and a counter substrate 62 are vacuum held to stages 20 and 18, respectively, so that the array substrate 60 and the counter substrate 62 face each other. In one of the stages, a recessed portion 26 facing the effective region of the counter substrate 62 is formed. By evacuating the recessed portion, the effective region of the counter substrate 62 is deflected so as to go away from the effective region of the array substrate 60. In this state, the peripheral portions of the array substrate 60 and the counter substrate 62 are panel aligned with each other via the sealing material 64. Subsequently, the counter substrate 62 is positioned with respect to the array substrate 60 by means of an X-Y-.theta. stage. Thereafter, the deflection of the counter substrate 62 is removed to cause the counter substrate 62 and the array substrate 60 to contact each other via the spacers 66. Thus, it is possible to provide an assembling method and apparatus, which can assemble a flat display panel without making scars on a glass substrate.
