A hermetically sealed glass package and method for manufacturing the hermetically sealed glass package are described herein using an OLED display as an example. Basically, the hermetically sealed OLED display is manufactured by providing a first substrate plate and a second substrate plate and depositing a frit onto the second substrate plate. OLEDs are deposited on the first substrate plate. An irradiation source (e.g., laser, infrared light) is then used to heat the frit which melts and forms a hermetic seal that connects the first substrate plate to the second substrate plate and also protects the OLEDs. The frit is glass that was doped with at least one transition metal and possibly a CTE lowering filler such that when the irradiation source heats the frit, it softens and forms a bond. This enables the frit to melt and form the hermetic seal while avoiding thermal damage to the OLEDs.

What is claimed is: 1. A glass package comprising: a first glass plate; a second glass plate; and a frit made from glass that was doped with at least one transition metal and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) lowering filler, wherein said frit was heated by a irradiation source in a manner that caused said frit to melt and form a hermetic seal which connects said first glass plate to said second glass plate. 2. The glass package of claim 1, wherein each of said first and second glass plates absorbs less light from said irradiation source when compared to light absorbed by said frit from said irradiation source. 3. The glass package of claim 1, wherein said frit has a softening temperature that is lower than the softening temperatures of said first and second glass plates. 4. The glass package of claim 1, wherein said frit has a CTE that substantially matches the CTEs of said first and second glass plates. 5. The glass package of claim 1, wherein said filler is an inversion filler. 6. The glass package of claim 1, wherein said filler is an additive filler. 7. The glass package of claim 1, wherein said frit is a low temperature glass frit containing one or more absorbing ions chosen from the group including iron, copper, vanadium, and neodymium. 8.
