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.

-27. (canceled)
A scaled glass package comprising:
- a first glass plate;
- and
- a second glass plate, wherein the first glass plate and the second glass plate are connected to one another by a transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit which formed a seal between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, wherein the transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit has a predetermined color due to a sintering process which was performed in less than 8 hours and in a reducing atmosphere to attach the transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit to the first glass plate before the second glass plate was placed on the sintered transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit and the sintered transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit was melted to form the seal between the first glass plate and the second glass plate.
