Abstract: An assembly includes: a pair of glass substrates; a peripheral wall disposed between the glass substrates; partitions; an evacuation port; and air passages. The partitions are provided to partition an internal space, surrounded with the glass substrates and the peripheral wall, into an evacuation space and a ventilation space. The evacuation port connects the ventilation space to an external environment. The air passages are used to evacuate the evacuation space through the evacuation port. The air passages include particular air passages arranged in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction, in which the glass substrates face each other, to constitute a ventilation path running through the internal space in the second direction.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glass panel unit includes a glue arrangement step, a pillar placement step, an assembly forming step, a bonding step, an evacuation step, and a sealing step. The evacuation step reduces pressure in an internal space by exhausting, with predetermined suction power, a gas from the internal space via a valve and an exhaust port. The valve includes a first valve allowing the gas to flow through a first channel area and a second valve allowing the gas to flow through a second channel area larger than the first channel area. The evacuation step includes a first evacuation step to be performed first and a second evacuation step to be performed next. In the first evacuation step, the first valve is opened and the second valve is closed. In the second evacuation step, the first valve is closed and the second valve is opened.

Abstract: An assembly includes a plurality of partitions to partition an internal space, surrounded with a pair of glass substrates arranged to face each other and a the peripheral wall having a frame shape and provided between the pair of glass substrates, into an evacuation space and a ventilation space. The plurality of partitions includes a first partition and a second partition, of which lengths are defined in two different directions. An end of the second partition faces a side portion of the first partition with a predetermined gap left between them. A space between the end of the second partition and the side portion of the first partition constitutes an air passage to evacuate the evacuation space through an evacuation port. The second partition includes, at the end thereof, a swollen portion protruding toward the evacuation space at least along the width of the second partition.

Abstract: A glass panel unit assembly includes: a pair of glass substrates arranged to face each other; a peripheral wall; a partition; an air passage; and an evacuation port. The peripheral wall has a frame shape and is disposed between the pair of glass substrates. The partition partitions an internal space, surrounded with the pair of glass substrates and the peripheral wall, into a first space and a second space. The air passage connects the first space and the second space together. The evacuation port connects the second space to an external environment. The partition is lower in height than the peripheral wall.

Abstract: A glass panel unit assembly includes: glass substrates; a peripheral wall having a frame shape and disposed between the glass substrates; a partition; an evacuation port; and a plurality of air passages. The partition partitions an internal space into an evacuation space, a ventilation space, and a coupling space. The evacuation port connects the ventilation space to an external environment. The plurality of air passages includes: a first air passage connecting the evacuation space to the coupling space; and a second air passage connecting the coupling space to the ventilation space. The second air passage includes a particular air passage having a larger dimension than any of the first air passage.

Abstract: A glass panel unit manufacturing method includes a bonding step, a pressure reducing step, and a sealing step. The bonding step includes bonding together a first substrate and a second substrate with a first sealant to create an inner space. The pressure reducing step includes producing a reduced pressure in the inner space through an exhaust port that the first substrate has. The sealing step includes irradiating a second sealant, inserted into the exhaust port, with an infrared ray through a region, where a low emissivity film is nonexistent, of the second substrate.

Abstract: A first substrate, having an evacuation port, and a second substrate are bonded together with a first sealing material in a frame shape interposed between them to create an internal space. The internal space is evacuated through the evacuation port, and the evacuation port is sealed up with the internal space kept evacuated. At this time, a second sealing material inserted into the evacuation port is heated and melted while being pressed toward the second substrate such that the evacuation port is sealed up with the second sealing material melted. The evacuation port and the second sealing material have dissimilar shapes when viewed along the center axis of the evacuation port in a state where the second sealing material has been inserted into the evacuation port but has not melted yet.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a glass panel unit of the present invention includes a bonding step, a pressure reduction step, and a sealing step. In the bonding step, a first substrate and a second substrate are hermetically bonded together with a seal having a frame shape. In the pressure reduction step, a pressure in an inside space formed between the first substrate and the second substrate is reduced through an exhaust port. In the sealing step, sealant disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate is deformed, and the sealant thus deformed seals an opening of the exhaust port.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pillar supply sheet is a method for manufacturing a pillar supply sheet including a plurality of pillars, a carrier sheet, and an adhesion layer between each of the pillars and the carrier sheet, the method including a pillar forming step. The pillar forming step is a step of forming the plurality of pillars by subjecting the base member to an etching process or a laser irradiation process and removing an unnecessary portion from the base member after the process.

Abstract: In s glass panel unit, a pitch of pillars is determined such that a distortion of a first panel and second panel is smaller than an interval between the first panel and the second panel. The distortion is calculated based on the interval between the first panel and the second panel, load loading compression fracture per one pillar of the multiple pillars, Young's moduli of the first panel and the second panel, thicknesses of the first panel and the second panel, and Poisson's ratios of the first panel and the second panel.
