NOVELTY - Photocurable resin composition contains a compound (A) having a photopolymerizable functional group and an oil gelling agent.    USE - The photocurable resin composition is useful: in an image display device (claimed) including plasma display panel, LCD, cathode ray tube, field emission display organic electroluminescent display, 3 dimension display or electronic paper; for laminating various layers configuring the image display device, where various layers are functional layer having functionality comprising antireflection layer, antifouling layer, dye layer or hard coat layer; as an optical filter, an adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, filler, optical member comprising optical wave guide, member for solar batteries, LED, phototransistor, photodiode, optical semiconductor element, image display device, illumination device or dental material; and as a material for filling a layer-to-layer space between a panel comprising a touch panel and a transparent protective plate comprising glass substrate.    ADVANTAGE - The photocurable resin: hardly causes leakage; can be easily formed into a desired shape; provides resin composition with excellent height covering properties; and is laminated and then crosslinked, thus enhances adhesive strength and holding power and reveals high reliability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) image display device having a laminate structure, including either an image display unit (7) having an image display part, a transparent protective plate (40) and a resin layer (32) existent between the image display unit and the transparent protective plate, where the resin layer is a cured material of the photocurable resin composition or an image display unit having an image display part, a touch panel, a transparent protective plate and a resin layer existent between the touch panel and the transparent protective plate, where the resin layer is cured material of the photocurable resin composition; and    (2) manufacturing the image display device, comprising allowing a photocurable resin composition to intervene in a gap between an image display unit having an image display part or a touch panel and a transparent protective plate and curing the photocurable resin composition, where the photocurable resin composition is allowed to intervene in the gap and cured upon irradiation with light at least from the side of the transparent protective plate.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows side cross sectional view schematically showing liquid crystal display device.    Image display unit (7)    Liquid crystal display cell (10)    Polarizing plate (20, 22)    Transparent resin layer (32)    Transparent protective plate (protective panel) (40)
