Plasma display panel, method of producing the same, and sealing member

A plasma display panel comprising a pair of substrates that are disposed opposing each other so that a discharge space is formed therebetween,

• at least one substrate selected from the pair of substrates being provided with a vent,
• a tube member that is in communication with the vent being disposed on a principal plane located on an opposite side to a side of the discharge space of the at least one substrate,
• the at least one substrate and the tube member being sealed together, with a second sealing part, and
• the tube member being sealed,
• wherein the second sealing part includes a glass composition containing P2O5 and SnO, and a refractory filler,
• the glass composition further contains at least one selected from the group consisting of B2O3, SiO2 and Al2O3, and
• an organic matter content in the second sealing part is 0 ppm.

A method of producing a plasma display panel, the method comprising:

• disposing a pair of substrates and a first sealing member so that the first sealing member is held between the pair of substrates and a discharge space is formed between the pair of substrates;
• and
• sealing peripheries of the pair of substrates together by heating the first sealing member,
• wherein the first sealing member is a shaped body in which a glass composition containing P2O5 and SnO, and a refractory filler are included, and an organic matter content is 0 ppm, and
• the glass composition further contains at least one selected from the group consisting of B2O3, SiO2 and Al2O3.

• sealing the at least one substrate and the tube member together by disposing a second sealing member in the vicinity of the tube member and then heating the second sealing member;
• and
• sealing the tube member after filling the discharge space with a predetermined gaseous matter through the tube member and the vent,
• wherein the second sealing member is a shaped body in which a glass composition containing P2O5 and SnO, and a refractory filler are included, and an organic matter content is 0 ppm, and
• the glass composition further contains at least one selected from the group consisting of B2O3, SiO2 and Al2O3.

• sealing peripheries of the pair of substrates together by heating the first sealing member,
• wherein the first sealing member is a shaped body that includes a glass composition containing P2O5 and SnO, a refractory filler, and an inorganic binder having a softening point that is lower than that of the glass composition,
• the glass composition further contains at least one selected from the group consisting of B2O3, SiO2 and Al2O3, and
• an organic matter content in the first sealing member is 0 ppm.
