Abstract
A flat panel display includes a front substrate, a rear substrate parallel to and spaced apart from the front substrate for forming a gap between the front and rear substrates. A display area is positioned on the surface of the rear substrate facing the front substrate. The flat panel display further includes a plurality of barrier ribs positioned on the display area of the rear substrate, a first channel rib positioned on at least two sides of the display area of the rear substrate, and a second channel rib spaced from the first channel rib by a predetermined distance. The first channel rib and the second channel rib form a sealing channel. A sealing frit fills the sealing channel to seal together the front substrate and the rear substrate.
