In this study, the effect of vanadium oxide ($V_2O_5$) content and pre-sintering atmosphere on sealing property of glass frit that consisted of $V_2O_5-BaO-ZnO-P_2O_5-TeO_2-CuO-Fe_2O_3-SeO_2$ was investigated by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The content of V2O5 was changed to 15, 30, and 45 mol%, and the pre-sintering was carried out in air and $N_2$ condition, respectively. XPS analysis conducted before and after laser irradiation with identical sample. Before laser treatment, glass frits that were pre-sintered at air condition showed both $V^{4+}$ and $V^{5+}$, but the valence state was changed to $V^{5+}$ after laser irradiation when the glass frits contained 30 and 45 mol% $V_2O_5$; this change led to non-adhesive property. On the other hand, glass frits that were pre-sintered at $N_2$ condition exhibited only $V^{4+}$ and it showed fine adhesion irrespective of the $V_2O_5$ content. As a result, the existence of $V^{4+}$ seems to be a major factor for controlling the adhesive property of glass frit for laser sealing.
