An adhesive used for bonding a spacer to a face plate and a rear plate constituting an envelope of an image display apparatus so as to keep space between the face plate and the rear plate. Since the adhesive contains an aqueous sodium silicate solution and Ti grains dispersed in the aqueous solution

An adhesive used for bonding a spacer to a face plate and a rear plate constituting an envelope of an image display apparatus so as to keep space between the face plate and the rear plate. Since the adhesive contains an aqueous sodium silicate solution and Ti grains dispersed in the aqueous solution, it improves adhesion and shortens curing time.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an image display apparatus comprising a face plate equipped with an image display member, a rear plate equipped with an electron source, and a spacer disposed between the face plate and the rear plate, the method comprising a step of bonding a spacer to the face plate or the rear plate using an adhesive comprising an aqueous solution of sodium silicate, the bonding step comprising heating the adhesive at a temperature increase rate of not lower than 5° C./minute, wherein a molar ratio of SiO2/Na2O in the aqueous solution is from 1.6 to 3.0, wherein the aqueous solution contains from 30% by weight to 65% by weight of Ti grains, and at least one type of other grains selected from the group consisting of ZrO2 grains, Ni grains, Au grains, Ta grains, and Al2O3 grains, wherein an average grain size of the Ti grains, ZrO2 grains, Ni grains, Au grains, Ta grains, and Al2O3 grains is, respectively, from 1.0 μm to 200 μm, and wherein the aqueous solution contains from 10 to 20% by weight of water. 2. The method of manufacturing an image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the temperature increase rate is not lower than 50° C./minute. 3. The method of manufacturing an image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous solution also contains from 0.1% by weight to 10.0% by weight of phosphoric acid or boric acid. 4. The method of manufacturing an image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one type of other grains is selected from the group consisting of Au grains and Ta grains.
