Abstract

A method for assembling a spaced flat panel display screen having a first plate and second plate, each with an internal facing surface that are opposing comprises the steps of positioning spacers on the internal facing surface of the first plate, positioning the second plate so that the internal facing surface of the second plate contacts the spacers, heating the spacers to a temperature causing soldering of the spacers to the plates, pulling the first and second plates apart to stretch the spacers to a predetermined distance, and cooling the spacers.
