A manufacturing method for a flat panel display module includes forming a display section having a transparent substrate with a wiring line terminal section adjacent at least one edge. A light emitting section is a center section, with a sealing cap covering the light emitting section. The sealing cap is dimensioned such that an edge of said sealing cap nearest the wiring line terminal section lies inside the wiring line terminal section. A flexible printed circuit board is provided with a semiconductor device mounted thereon. The flexible printed circuit board is connected to the wiring line terminal section of the transparent substrate, and a frame is fixed around the transparent substrate.
