Conductive material, method of producing the same, visual display device, and glass spacer thereof

A method of producing a conductive material with a crystalline V and O compound and a crystalline metal phosphate compound, by mixing V2O5—P2O5 glass with metal oxide combined with phosphoric acid and heating such a mixture.

A visual display device comprising a glass panel with electronic sources, a glass panel with fluorescent material that emits light when receiving electrons emitted from the electron sources, and glass spacers which provide spaces between the glass panels,

• wherein the glass spacers are bonded to the glass panels with a conductive material containing a V2O5—P2O5 glass and a second phase dispersed in the V2O5—P2O5 glass, and
• wherein the second phase contains a crystalline V and O compound and a crystalline metal phosphate compound.

A glass spacer for a visual display device, which is interposed between a glass panel with electron sources and a glass panel with fluorescent material that emits light when receiving electrons emitted from the electron sources,

• wherein the glass spacer is bonded to the glass panels with a conductive material comprising a V2O5—P2O5 glass and a second phase dispersed in the V2O5—P2O5 glass,
• wherein the second phase contains a crystalline V and O compound and a crystalline metal phosphate compound.
