A sealing glass composition containing refractory filler of lower coefficient of thermal expansion for use in sealing alumina package for electronic components is disclosed. The composition consists essentially of low melting glass powder and cordierite powder in proportion of 2-30% by weight of the total composition, and optionally, .beta.-eucryptite, .beta.-spodumen, lead titanate or zircon in a proportion, respectively, not exceeding 15% by weight of the total composition. The low melting glass has a composition of 77.0-86.0 wt. % of PbO, 6.0-15.0 wt. % of B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.5-6.9 wt. % of ZnO, 0.1-3.0 wt. % of SiO.sub.2, 0-3.0% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 0-2.0% of alkali earth metal oxide, 0-1.5% of SnO.sub.2 and 0-1.0% of alkali metal oxide.

Sealing glass compositions

Here is disclosed a liquid crystal cell comprising a juxtaposed couple of planar elements at least one of which is transparent and a liquid crystal material interposed between said planar elements and sealed around the edges thereof, said cell being thermally and chemically stable, hermetically sealed and uniformly spaced, due to the use of low-melting glass as a sealant or a sealant-spacer.
