Patent attributes
An image display apparatus includes an envelope including a first substrate provided with an image display unit, a second substrate placed in opposition to the first substrate, and an outer frame to form a space between the first and second substrates, and a low melting point metal disposed between the first and second substrates for hermetically seal bonding the first substrate and the second substrate. In addition, an adhesive is placed along an outer periphery of the envelope except for at least one side of the envelope. The adhesive contacts both a surface of the first substrate not facing the second substrate and a surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate, with the adhesive being one of an epoxy adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, and a ceramic adhesive.
