Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units, and/or methods of making the same. The sealing tube or sealing material is provided within the VIG unit, thereby potentially eliminating the need for a protective cap and allowing for more freedom in handling, frame design, hybrid VIG construction, lamination, and the like. The sealing tube may be relocated to an internal area within a recessed pocket of a substrate at least in certain example embodiments. The VIG unit lacks a protruding pump-out tube or the like.
