Publication number: 20120248950Abstract: A hermetic container comprises first and second substrates and bonded by bonding members to form a hermetically sealed space therebetween. Second bonding members placed on both sides of a first bonding member to form the hermetically sealed space between the substrates are sandwiched between the substrates, thereby bonding the substrates together with the first bonding member. A height of first bonding member is higher than that of second bonding member and at least one of the substrates is elastically deformed and is bonded by the first bonding member and the second bonding members. Thus, the hermetic container in which a compressing force has been applied to a height direction of the first bonding member is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kenji Niibori

Patent number: 7839071Abstract: The present invention relates to a vacuum container having a first substrate and a second substrate arranged so as to face each other as components including, within the low-pressure container, a spacer disposed at the first substrate or the second substrate so as to maintain an interval between the first substrate and the second substrate. The spacer is fixed within the vacuum container via a supporting member provided at the spacer without contacting the substrate where the spacer is disposed. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing vacuum container, an image display apparatus using the vacuum container, and a method for manufacturing the image display apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenji Niibori, Nobuyuki Takahashi, Kazuyuki Ueda, Ryoji Tanaka
