However, in the method of Japanese Patent Application No. 11-245354, the dimensional accuracy of the spacer can be improved, but if the properties and dispersibility of the metal powder are poor, the spacer after firing is not used. The metal powder that is not oxidized may remain on the wall surface, and the affinity between the metal powder and the glass matrix is poor, and the metal powder remaining on the spacer wall may fall off from the glass matrix and remain in the panel as impurities. In addition, there is a fear that the smoothness of the spacer wall surface may be impaired due to the shedding.
