Glass panel unit, temporary assembly of glass panel unit, completed assembly of glass panel unit, method for manufacturing glass panel unit

A method for manufacturing glass panel unit, comprising:

• an assembling step of preparing a temporary assembly including:
• a first glass substrate;
• a second glass substrate placed opposite the first glass substrate;
• a frame placed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate to hermetically bond the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate to each other;
• an inside space enclosed by the first glass substrate, the second glass substrate, and the frame;
• a partition dividing the inside space into a first space and a second space;
• a gas passage interconnecting the first space and the second space;
• an outlet interconnecting the second space and an outside space;
• and a gas adsorbent placed in the first space and including a getter;
• a hermetically enclosing step of obtaining a completed assembly by:
• converting the first space into an evacuated space by evacuating the first space through the gas passage, the second space, and the outlet and changing a shape of the partition to close the gas passage to form a separator so that part of the frame corresponding to the evacuated space and the separator constitute a seal hermetically bonding the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate so as to enclose the evacuated space;
• and
• a removing step of removing part including the second space from the completed assembly to obtain a glass panel unit which is a predetermined part including a first glass panel which is part of the first glass substrate that corresponds to the evacuated space, a second glass panel which is part of the second glass substrate that corresponds to the evacuated space, the seal, the evacuated space, and the gas adsorbent.
