Abstract

A glass panel including a pair of first and second glass sheets (1A, 1B) disposed with sheet faces thereof opposed to each other, a plurality of spacers (5) being interposed between the pair of glass sheets (1A, 1B) for forming a space (4) therebetween; and a sealing material (S) for bonding peripheral edges (3) of the glass sheets (1A, 1B) together for sealing the space (4), the sealing material having a lower fusing temperature than the softening point of the glass sheets (1A, 1B). Each spacer (5) is formed by disposing spacer-forming paste (11) in a predetermined shape on the sheet face of the glass sheet (1A, 1B). Or, the spacer (5) comprises a plurality of spacer bodies (51) two-dimensionally interconnected to each other via a connecting member (52).
