  • Method for sintering a frit to a glass plate
    Publication number: 20090297862
    Abstract: A method is described herein for sintering a frit to a glass plate where the sintered frit and glass plate are subsequently sealed to another glass plate to form a sealed glass package. Examples of the sealed glass package include a light-emitting device (e.g., organic light emitting diode (OLED) device), a photovoltaic device, a food container, and a medicine container.

  • Boro-silicate glass frits for hermetic sealing of light emitting device displays
    Publication number: 20080124558
    Abstract: A frit composition useful for sealing a light emitting device is disclosed. The frit composition comprises a glass portion comprising a base component and at least one absorbing component. The glass portion of the frit comprises silica, boron oxide, optionally alumina, and (a) cupric oxide and/or a (b) combination of ferric oxide, vanadium pentoxide, and optionally titanium dioxide. Also disclosed is an article comprising a substrate and a frit, and a glass package comprising two substrates and a frit positioned between the substrates. A method for manufacturing a hermetically sealed glass package comprising the deposition of a glass frit and heating of the glass frit to form a hermetic seal is also disclosed.
