Display panel and manufacturing method for the display panel

A display panel including a first panel member and a second panel member which has a plurality of strip-shaped barrier ribs, the first panel member and the second panel member being sealed together by a sealing material that is provided between the first panel member and the second panel member in a peripheral area which surrounds the plurality of barrier ribs, characterized in that

• the first panel member and the second panel member are connected to each other by a connecting material that is provided on top of at least one of the plurality of barrier ribs.

A display panel including a first panel member and a second panel member which has a plurality of strip-shaped barrier ribs, the first panel member and the second panel member being sealed together by a sealing material that is provided between the first panel member and the second panel member in a peripheral area which surrounds the plurality of barrier ribs, characterized in that

• the first panel member and the second panel member are connected to each other by a connecting material that is provided in a non-display area.

A display panel including a first panel member and a second panel member which has a plurality of strip-shaped barrier ribs, the first panel member and the second panel member being sealed together by a sealing material that is provided between the first panel member and the second panel member in a peripheral area which surrounds the plurality of barrier ribs, characterized in that

• a projection is formed on a surface of the first panel member facing the second panel member, and
• the first panel member and the second panel member are connected to each other by a connecting material in areas where the projection intersects the plurality of barrier ribs.

A manufacturing method for a display panel including a first panel member and a second panel member which has a plurality of strip-shaped barrier ribs, the first panel member and the second panel member being sealed together by a sealing material that is provided between the first panel member and the second panel member in a peripheral area which surrounds the plurality of barrier ribs, characterized by comprising the steps of:

• providing, before the first panel member and the second panel member are sealed together, the sealing material in a peripheral area of the first panel member or the second panel member so as to form a height that is greater than a height of the plurality of barrier ribs;
• and
• sealing, after the sealing material providing step, the first panel member and the second panel member by softening the sealing material while pressing the first panel member and the second panel member against each other in an area which is more central than the peripheral area.
