Abstract

A method of sealing a plurality of frame-like frit walls disposed between two substrates. The frit walls are arranged in rows and columns and divided into groups, each group being sealed by a separate laser beam. Several strategies are disclosed for the order in which the frit walls are heated and sealed by a laser beam to optimize the efficiency of the sealing process.
