An
adhesive for cementing together one display element constituent member having a step on the surface on the to-be-cemented side and another display element constituent member, wherein the
adhesive is obtained by causing an
adhesive composition to be thermally crosslinked and cured using active energy rays, said composition containing a (
meth)acrylic ester
polymer (A) that includes a reactive-functional-group-containing
monomer as a
monomer unit constituting a
polymer, a bi- or higher-functional component (B) that can be cured using active energy rays, and a thermally crosslinkable crosslinking agent (C). The adhesive composition contains the active-energy-
ray-curable component (B) in such an amount that the gel fraction (G1) of the adhesive and the gel fraction (G2) of the adhesive formed by thermally crosslinking the adhesive composition from which the active energy
ray curable component (B) has been excluded are substantially the same, and, assuming that the adhesive is formed into a layer measuring 600 mum in thickness and 10 mm in width, the maximum stress when the adhesive layer extends in length up to elongation at break at a measurement length of 20 mm and a tensioning rate of 200 mm / minute in a 23 DEG C, 50% RH environment is 2.8 N or more.
