Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a display panel in which a sealing material is placed in a position enclosing an internal space created between a pair of substrates spaced opposite to each other at a required distance, and the sealing material is heated to be softened at a predetermined temperature and fused to the substrates to seal the internal space between the pair of substrates, comprising: a sealing process for sealing the internal space between the pair of substrates by use of the sealing material; a primary evacuation process that is performed for evacuation of the internal space between the pair of substrates after a temperature for heating the sealing material reaches a starting temperature for softening the sealing material, and before the sealing process is performed; and an introduction process that is performed for introducing replacement gas into the internal space undergoing the primary evacuation process, after the temperature for heating the sealing material reaches the starting temperature for softening the sealing material, and before the sealing process is performed.
