NOVELTY - Manufacturing glass package (100) involves providing glass plate (102) with coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 80-90x 10-7 degrees C-1; providing second glass plate (110); depositing frit (108) with CTE of at least 35x 10-7 degrees C-1 onto first or second plate; placing first plate on second plate where frit is located between first and second plate; and using laser to direct laser beam through first or second plate towards frit and moving laser beam at predetermined sealing speed along frit to heat frit such that frit melts and forms a seal (112) which connects first/second plate.    USE - For manufacturing a glass package (claimed) useful in devices e.g. solid state lighting, solar cells, and organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays.    ADVANTAGE - The method enable high speed laser assisted frit sealing of high CTE glass plates to make glass packages. The seal protects the component by preventing oxygen and moisture located within the ambient environment from entering into the sealed glass package. The greater than or equal to 100 msec residence time of the laser beam on a given point of the frit during the sealing process prevents cracking and delamination of the frit from the first and second glass plates. Sealing of high CTE glasses can be enabled by maintaining a wide heating profile. This approach allows an increase of the residence heating time across the width of the frit while maintaining the relatively high sealing speed of 20 mm/s.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Manufacturing a glass package (100) involves providing a first glass plate (102), where the first glass plate has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 80-90x 10-7 degrees C-1; providing a second glass plate (110); providing a frit (108), where the frit has a CTE that is at least 35x 10-7 degrees C-1; depositing the frit onto the first glass plate or the second glass plate; placing the first glass plate on the second glass plate where the frit is located between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; and using a laser to direct a laser beam through the first glass plate or the second glass plate towards the frit and then moving the laser beam at a predetermined sealing speed along the frit to heat the frit such that the frit melts and forms a seal (112) which connects the first glass plate to the second glass plate, where the laser beam forms a footprint on the frit, and has a residence time on a given point of the frit within the footprint that is greater than or equal to 100 msec. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a glass package comprising a first glass plate which has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 80-90x 10-7 degrees C-1; a second glass plate; and a frit which has a CTE which is at least 35x 10-7 degrees C-1, where the frit forms a seal which connects the first glass plate to the second glass plate.
