摘要： Seal material bars and methods for forming seal material bars, a seal material frame, and method for forming a flat panel display using the same. Bars of seal material (1101-1104) are made by extruding a mixture of glass frit and organic compound. In one embodiment, the glass frit bars have joining features (1111-1118) formed in them. Ceramic material is also extruded so as to form seal material bars. The seal material bars are placed between the backplate and the faceplate and glass frit slurry may be placed between adjoining seal material bars. A heating step melts the seal material so as to form a seal interior region. Alternatively seal material bars may be joined in a first step to form a seal material frame. A further embodiment comprises extrusion of a hollow rectangular shape of seal material which is cut crosswise into integral seal material frames.
