Abstract:
1. A sealed glass package comprising: a first glass plate; and a second glass plate, wherein the first glass plate and the second glass plate are connected to one another by a transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit which formed a seal between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, wherein the transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit has a predetermined color due to a sintering process which was performed in less than 8 hours and in a reducing atmosphere to attach the transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit to the first glass plate before the second glass plate was placed on the sintered transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit and the sintered transition metal-lanthanide doped glass frit was melted to form the seal between the first glass plate and the second glass plate.
