<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow sealing with high durability and safety, and with a simple operation when bonding and sealing a substrate constituting a photoelectric conversion element for a dye-sensitized solar cell and the like. <P>SOLUTION: In the process of manufacturing a photoelectric conversion element by stacking a first substrate 1 constituting a working electrode and a second substrate 2 constituting a counter electrode on each other and sealing the substrates at their periphery, a glass frit layer 11 is provided at the periphery of either one or both of the substrates 1, 5. Then, a laser beam 12 is applied to the glass frit layer 11 through either substrate 1(5) so as to melt the glass frit layer 11 to thereby bond and seal the substrates. The glass frit layer 11 may be formed by coating with a paste containing glass frit. For the wavelength of the laser beam, one of such a wavelength band that a transmittance of 50% or higher is obtained at either substrate 1(5) is selected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
