Abstract: [Problem] The aim of the invention is to provide a method of sealing an electronic element such as an organic EL element using a normal temperature bonding method that enables bonding at low temperature and in which permeation of external gases such as hydrogen or oxygen through the sealed section (dam) formed by the organic material, or the junction interface of the sealed section and a cover substrate is suppressed.

Abstract: A connecting device for display panel substrates provided with a first surface table and second surface table for holding the first and second substrates. The connecting device includes a spacer having a thickness substantially equal to a prescribed cell gap, and an operating device for inserting the spacer in between the substrates, or withdrawing the spacer from the same. The connecting device also includes hardening device for hardening sealant material.

Abstract: A method for connecting display panel substrates comprises the following steps. Firstly, a first substrate and a second substrate, whereon sealant material is disposed so as to form a waste region in the inner side region of the edges of the first and second substrates, are aligned in position and held. Thereupon, a spacer having a thickness substantially equal to a prescribed cell gap is inserted into the waste region between the first and second substrates. Next, the cell gap is determined by pressing the first and second substrates. The sealant material is then hardened, whereupon the spacer is withdrawn. In this connecting process for fabricating a display panel, the cell gap can be set readily and precisely to a high degree of accuracy.

Abstract: A liquid crystal sealing device which supplies sealing material for sealing liquid crystal injection holes of sealing areas of a multiplicity of liquid crystal cells simultaneously. This device has a multiplicity of pins which are arranged to match the arrangement of the sealing areas of the multiplicity of liquid crystal cells so that the sealing material can be transferred from a container storing the sealing material to the corresponding sealing area of the liquid crystal cell. This device also has a reciprocating mechanism for reciprocating the multiplicity of pins, as one unit, between a position where the sealing area is to be positioned and the container.
