1. A sealed structure comprising:

  • a substrate and a counter substrate respective surfaces of which face each other with a space therebetween; and

    a sealant layer which is in contact with both of the substrate and the counter substrate, defines a sealed space between the substrate and the counter substrate, andwhen viewed in a plan view, the sealant layer comprises;

    an outer contour of the sealant layer and an inner contour of the sealant layer;

    a corner portion in continuity with a first side portion and a second side portion, the corner portion being continuously formed from the first side portion to the second side portion,wherein one of the inner contour and the outer contour of the first side portion of the sealant layer is a straight line and one of the inner contour and the outer contour of the second side portion of the sealant layer is a straight line,wherein the one of the inner contour and the outer contour of the first side portion of the sealant layer is not parallel to the one of the inner contour and the outer contour of the second side portion of the sealant layer,wherein the outer contour of the sealant layer and the inner contour of the sealant layer can each be described as a curve generally free of inflection points and singular points, when seen in the plan view,wherein a width of the corner portion of the sealant layer is smaller than a width of each of the first side portion and the second side portion of the sealant layer, the widths being defined as distances from the inner contour of the sealant layer to the outer contour of the sealant layer along a direction perpendicular to the inner contour of the sealant layer, andwherein an entirety of the outer contour of the sealant layer is inset from an edge of the substrate, when seen in the plan view.
