Abstract
A glass package is disclosed comprising a first substrate and a second substrate, where the substrates are attached in at least two locations, at least one attachment comprising a frit, and at least one attachment comprising a polymeric adhesive and wherein the frit comprises a glass portion comprising: a base component comprising and at least one absorbing component. Also disclosed is a method of sealing a light emitting display device comprising providing a light emitting layer, a first substrate and a second substrate, where a frit is deposited between the substrates and a polymeric adhesive is deposited either between the substrates or around the edge of the device, and where the frit is sealed with a radiation source and the polymeric adhesive is cured.

11. A method of sealing a light emitting display device comprising:
-
providing a light emitting layer, a first substrate and a second substrate, each substrate having an inner surface and an outer surface; depositing a frit around the perimeter of the inner surface of the first substrate; depositing a polymeric adhesive on the inner surface of at least one of the first or second substrate; joining the inner surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate so that the light emitting layer is positioned between the first and second substrates, and so that at least a portion of the first substrate is in overlying registration with at least a portion of the second substrate; heating a first portion of the frit such that the first portion of the frit forms a hermetic seal between the first substrate and the second substrate and wherein a second portion of the frit is unsealed; and curing the polymer adhesive; wherein the heating and curing steps may be performed in any order. - View Dependent Claims (12)
