Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a glass member provided with a sealing material layer, wherein the sealing material layer can be excellently formed even in the case where the whole glass substrate cannot be heated. A sealing material paste, which has been prepared by mixing a sealing material containing a sealing glass and a laser absorbing material with an organic binder, is applied in a frame shape on a sealing region on the glass substrate (2). A laser beam (9) is applied along a frame-shaped coat layer (8) having the sealing material paste applied thereon, and the coat layer (8) is selectively heated, thereby forming a sealing material layer (7) by firing the sealing material, while removing the organic binder in the coat layer (8). The two glass substrates are sealed together using the sealing material layer (7). |
