Abstract
A low melting, transparent glass spacer rod system is disclosed which will soften and seal the two glass substrates in the center of a gaseous discharge panel at or below the temperature used to seal the periphery but above the gas processing temperature thus relieving the stresses developed at the edge seal when the gas within the panel expands at high altitudes. High melting rods near the seal periphery provide the proper gap spacing between substrates.
