A method for fabricating an image display apparatus includes disposing a frame member though a first joining material on a main surface of a first substrate on which an electron emitting element is to be disposed, and heating the first joining material to be softened and cooling the first joining material to be solidified, to join the frame member with the first substrate through the first joining material. The method also includes disposing, on the main surface, a spacer provided with an antistatic film on a surface thereof, disposing a second substrate provided with an anode electrode opposed to the main surface, and joining the second substrate with the frame member through a second joining material at a temperature lower than a heating temperature at the joining of the frame member with the first substrate through the first joining material.
