Patent ID: 7029358

Claim:
A hermetic container, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed confronting with said first substrate; an outer frame disposed between said first and second substrates and surrounding a space between said first and second substrates; a sealing member for sealing a connection area between said outer frame and at least one of said first and second substrates, a space defined by said first and second substrates and said outer frame being maintained hermetic; and a reinforcing member disposed outside the space maintained hermetic and between said first and second substrates, said reinforcing member maintaining a fixed state of a relative position of said first and second substrates, wherein: said reinforcing member does not contact an area at which said outer frame and said sealing member contact mutually, and said reinforcing member consists of an adhesive for adhering said first and second substrates, wherein said reinforcing member, said outer frame and said sealing member have different thermal expansion coefficients.
