Abstract

A multiple pane includes a pair of glass panels spaced by spacers and sealed at peripheries thereof. The multiple pane includes a plurality of spacers interposed between the pair of glass panels, a hermetic bond that hermetically bonds peripheries of the pair of glass panels to each other and a space between the pair of glass panels that is sealed so as to be in a reduced pressure state. Each of the plurality of spacers is a porous member provided on one glass panel of the pair of glass panels.

Claims (20)

1. A multiple pane comprising:

a pair of glass panels;

a plurality of spacers interposed between the pair of glass panels; and

a hermetic bond that hermetically bonds peripheries of the pair of glass panels to each other,

the multiple pane having a space provided between the pair of glass panels, the space being configured to be sealed so as to be in a reduced pressure state,

the pair of glass panels including a first glass panel and a second glass panel,

each of the plurality of spacers being a porous member,

the porous member including at least two layers, including a first layer and a second layer,

the porous member being formed on the first glass panel with the first layer thereof in contact with the first glass panel, and the second layer in contact with the second glass panel, and

the second layer having the highest adhesiveness to glass of the at least two layers.

2. The multiple pane according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of spacers comprise a mixture of a material of the plurality of spacers and a binder, and

each of the plurality of spacers has pores formed by removal of the binder.

3. The multiple pane according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of spacers is the porous member containing a filler of a heat-resistant ceramic.

4. The multiple pane according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of spacers has a porosity ranging from 1% to 20%.

5. A method for manufacturing the multiple pane according to claim 1 , comprising:

forming the plurality of spacers, each including the first layer and the second layer onto the first glass panel with the first layer in contact with the first glass plate; and

arranging the second glass plate so that the second layer of each of the plurality of spacers comes into contact with the second glass panel.
