摘要： A flat-panel display is hermetically sealed by a process in which a first plate structure (30) is positioned generally opposite a second plate structure (32) such that sealing material (34) provided over the second plate structure lies between the plate structures. In a gravitational sealing technique, the first plate structure is positioned vertically below the second plate structure. The sealing material is heated so that it moves vertically downward under gravitational influence to meet the first plate structure and seal the plate structures together. In a global-heating gap-jumping technique, the plate structures and sealing material are globally heated to cause the sealing material to jump a gap between the sealing material and the first plate structure. When the first plate structure is positioned vertically above the second plate structure, the sealing material moves vertically upward to meet the first plate structure and close the gap.

摘要： Methods and structures are provided which support spacer walls (100) in a position which facilitates installation of the spacer walls (100) between a faceplate and backplate of a flat display. In one embodiment, spacer feet (111, 112) are formed at the opposing ends of the spacer wall. Tacking electrodes can be provided on the faceplate to assert an electrostatic force on the spacer feet (111, 112), thereby holding the spacer feet in place during installation of the spacer wall. The spacer wall can be mechanically and/or thermally expanded prior to attaching both ends of the spacer wall to the faceplate. The spacer wall is then allowed to contract, thereby introducing tension into the spacer wall which tends to straighten any inherent wavines in the spacer wall. Alternatively, spacer clips can be clamped onto opposing ends of a spacer wall to support the spacer wall during installation. The spacer clips can provide electrical connections to face electrodes located on the spacer wall.

摘要： A flat panel display and a method for forming a flat panel display uses a low temperature glass frit deposit (101). In one embodiment the assembly (102) is heated to a low frit sealing temperature of about 220 degrees centigrade in a vacuum by step (104) to form a tubeless seal. The low temperature frit allows for melting of the glass frit at a temperature lower than that of prior art processes. Also, process steps associated with evacuation through an evacuation tube are eliminated.

摘要翻译： 平板显示器和平板显示器的形成方法。 在一个实施例中，平板显示器包括通过在真空中加热低温玻璃料形成的密封内部区域。 低温玻璃料置于面板和背板之间。 将低温玻璃料加热使其熔化，形成密封的面板和密封的背板之间的密封内部区域。 低温玻璃料允许在比现有技术方法低的温度下熔化玻璃料。 所得密封的内部区域处于真空状态。 因此，不需要排气管，并且消除了通过排气管抽真空的工艺步骤。
