 Next, a pressure treatment and a process of curing the adhesive (for example, the laminate including the first base material 15, the adhesive 14A, the frame 11A, the module 13, the adhesive 14B, and the second base material 16 (for example, The adhesives 14A and 14B are cured by heating, ultraviolet irradiation, electron beam irradiation, and aging treatment (a process of leaving the resin to cure with time) (pressure treatment and adhesive curing treatment). Then, the laminated body is integrated.

 Next, the laminate composed of the first base material 15, the adhesive 14A, the frame 11A, the module 13, the adhesive 14B, and the second base material 16 is cut along the outline 10a of the information medium 10, 1 is obtained.

 In this step, surplus portions of the adhesives 14A and 14B are also separated and removed by cutting the laminate.

According to the information medium manufacturing method of this embodiment, in Step C, on one surface of the second base material 16, a portion of the adhesive 14 </ b> B that is applied on the display surface 12 of the display unit 12 of the module 13. Since the ultraviolet ray shielding layer 17 having a polarization function and / or a wavelength selection function is provided in the region facing the adhesive layer, the adhesive forming the portion facing (overlapping) the non-printing portion 19a of the adhesive layer 14 is discolored by ultraviolet rays Can be prevented. Therefore, the information medium 10 in which the visibility of the display surface 12a of the display unit 12 is prevented from being deteriorated due to the discoloration of the adhesive layer 14 is obtained.
Moreover, if the ultraviolet shielding layer 17 has a polarization function, the information medium 10 can be obtained in which information displayed on the display surface 12a of the display unit 12 is prevented from being seen by others.
In addition, if the ultraviolet shielding layer 17 has a wavelength selection function, not only can the hue of information displayed on the display surface 12a of the display unit 12 be changed to prevent the information from being peeped by others, An information medium 10 with improved visibility of the information is obtained.

 In this embodiment, a case where the ultraviolet shielding layer 17 is provided in a region facing the portion formed on the display surface 12a of the display unit 12 in the adhesive layer 14 on the one surface 16a of the second base material 16 is provided. Although illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, an ultraviolet shielding layer may be provided on the entire surface of one surface of the second substrate.

 In this embodiment, in Step A, the case where the frame 11A is bonded to the one surface 15a of the first base material 15 by the adhesive 14A applied to the one surface 15a of the first base material 15 is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the frame may be bonded to one surface of the first base material by heat fusion. In that case, no adhesive is applied to one surface of the first substrate.

 Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where frame 11A consisted of one member was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the frame may be a combination of two or more members stacked in the thickness direction. For example, when the frame is composed of two members laminated in the thickness direction, two or more members may be joined in advance by an adhesive or heat fusion and used as one frame. Moreover, when using the flame | frame which combines two or more members, you may join one or more members to one base material, and may join one or more members to the other base material.

 Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the process B and the process C were performed in this order after the process A was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, step A, step B, and step C may be performed in any order. That is, in the present invention, in step B, after inserting the module into the insertion portion provided in the frame, in step A, the frame in which the module is installed is attached to one surface of the first base material. You may join to. Further, the step C of providing the ultraviolet shielding layer on one surface of the second substrate may be performed before the step A or between the step A and the step B.

 Moreover, in this embodiment, although the printing layer 18 was provided in the other surface 15b of the 1st base material 15, and the case where the printing layer 19 was provided in the other surface 16b of the 2nd base material 16, it illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, a printing layer may be provided on one surface of the first substrate or one surface of the second substrate.
