The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a glass panel and a glass panel manufactured such a method, in which inorganic and organic substances generated in time of a heat-joining process are prevented from adhering to inner surfaces of glass plates and yet an internal stress produced in the glass plates can be suppressed to a predetermined value or less. In the method of manufacturing the glass panel, the glass panel comprises a pair of glass plates (1 and 2) opposed to each other to define a void (V) therebetween by a number of space-maintaining members (3) arranged along plate surfaces with predetermined intervals between rows, and a thermally meltable seal member (4) for joining the glass plates (1 and 2) throughout a circumference thereof to be hermetically sealed by a heat-joining process, the void (V) between the glass plates (1 and 2) being decompressed by a decompressing process, a dimension (L1) between outermost rows of the space-maintaining members (3) and peripheral edges of the glass plates (1 and 2) is set to at most 5.8 times the thickness (t) of the thinner one of the glass plates (1 and 2), and wherein the decompressing process is executed before cooling and hardening of the thermally meltable seal member (4) in the heat-joining process. In the glass panel, the dimension (L1) between outermost rows of the space-maintaining members (3) and peripheral edges of the glass plates (1 and 2) is set to at most 5.8 times the thickness (t) of the thinner one of the glass plates (1 and 2). <IMAGE>
