Abstract
A process for frit-sealing together a panel of a fiber-based information display includes assembling the panel and sealing, after the step of assembling, the panel by forcing a glass frit to flow between the two glass plates that comprise the panel using narrow strips of glass. The glass frit-seals the top and bottom glass plates together and covers the wire electrodes at the end of the fibers to dielectrically isolate them from each other. The process of assembling and frit-sealing the panel is particularly suitable for use in an information display, such as plasma emissive displays, plasma addressed liquid crystal displays, and field emissive displays
Claims13
A flat-panel display comprising two glass plates enclosing at least one array of fibers, which serves to form structure within said display, where one of said two glass plates is larger than the other in all directions in a plane of said glass plates.
A flat-panel display comprising:
- a) a vacuum tube;
- b) a tube panel junction in the flat panel display that receives the vacuum tube;
- c) a glass washer over said vacuum tube;
- and
- d) a glass frit that is forced to flow between the glass washer and the flat panel display such that a seal between the vacuum tube and the flat panel display is created.
A curved-panel display comprising two glass plates enclosing two orthogonal fiber arrays, which serves to form a structure within said display, wherein one of said two glass plates is larger than the other in all directions in a plane of said glass plates.
