PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a package for elements, such as OLEDs, that have a function sensitive to temperatures.SOLUTION: A package comprises: a first glass substrate (12); a second glass substrate (16); and a wall (14) that separates the first substrate (12) and the second substrate (16) and hermetically seals at least one temperature sensitive element between the substrates (12,16). The wall (14) contains a sintered frit, and at least a portion of the wall is laser sealed to the second substrate (16) by melting a glass component of the sintered frit. The minimum width (40) of the laser-sealed portion of the wall (14) at any location along the wall (14) is greater than or equal to 2 mm so as to obtain greater airtightness and strength in the package. The laser sealing is performed without substantially degrading the temperature sensitive elements (18,28,36) housed in the package. |
