1. A method for sealing a glass package, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a first glass plate; providing a second glass plate; depositing a frit onto the first glass plate, where the frit forms a closed-loop on the first glass plate; depositing a liquid having an index of refraction that substantially matches the index of refraction of the second glass plate within a space defined by an interior side of the frit and a surface of the first glass plate, where the liquid directly contacts at least the interior side of the frit; placing the second glass plate on top of the frit on the first glass plate such that the liquid remains within the space defined by the interior side of the frit on the first glass plate; and using a sealing device to heat the frit such that the frit melts and forms a seal which connects the first glass plate to the second glass plate and also contains the liquid between the first glass plate and the second glass plate.
