Airtight container and display device using the airtight container, and manufacturing method therefor

An airtight container comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate and joined thereto using joint members, with the first substrate having a groove extending on a surface of the first substrate and a wiring provided along a direction of the extended groove, wherein
• the wiring comprises a section inside and along the groove and a section outside the groove extending from the section inside the groove, and
• the first substrate and the second substrate are joined using interposing joint members provided on and across the section of the wiring outside the groove, and
• the surface of the first substrate comprises a first region, and a second region surrounding the first region, the joint members are provided in the second region such that the joint members surround the first region, and the wiring extends over the first region to the second region.

An airtight container comprising:

• a first substrate having a plurality of wirings;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate and joined thereto using joint members, wherein
• the first substrate has on a surface thereof a plurality of grooves extending in a same direction,
• each of the plurality of wirings comprises (i) a section inside any one of the plurality of the grooves and along a direction of the plurality of the grooves and (ii) a section outside the groove extending from the section inside the groove;
• and
• the first substrate and the second substrate are joined by interposing joint members, the joint members provided on and across the section of the wiring outside the groove, and
• the surface of the first substrate comprises a first region, and a second region surrounding the first region, with the plurality of the grooves provided only in the first region, and the joint members are provided in the second region such that the joint members surround the first region, and each of the plurality of the wirings extends over the first region to the second region.

A manufacturing method of an airtight container comprising a first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate and joined thereto, the first substrate having a groove extending on a surface of the first substrate and a wiring provided along a direction of the groove, the manufacturing method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first substrate having a groove extending on a surface thereof, and forming a wiring that extends from inside of the groove to outside of the groove,
• providing joint members on a section of the wiring outside the groove such that the joint members are disposed across the wiring, and
• joining the first substrate and the second substrate using interposing joint members, and further comprising the steps of:
• joining a frame on the second substrate using joint members, and
• joining the frame to the first substrate using joint members.
