Theholes 2014 enable theinner side walls glass substrate 211 and the cover andmain bodies box 20 is made from forming resin doped with conductive polymer. The forming resin doped with conductive polymer can, for example, include high or low density polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyurethane. Thereby, thebox 20 can have electrical resistance of about 103 to 1012 ohms per centimeter, thereby helping prevent any buildup of static electricity that may damage theglass substrate 211. The forming resin is fabricated by expansion forming, whereby a size of the finished forming resin is 3 to 30 times its original size. This process can be performed by way of heating up the forming resin within a mold, or a low pressure forming process can be employed. A thickness of various portions of thecover 202 and themain body 201 is configured to be in the range from 15 mm to 100 mm. - The
glass substrate 211 is received within thebox 20 by the following process. Firstly, thebottom partition layer 212 is arranged on thebase part 2012 of themain body 201. Then, theglass substrate 211 is arranged on thatpartition layer 212. Then, thetop partition layer 212 is arranged on theglass substrate 211, thereby attaining thesubstrate package 21 within themain body 201. Secondly, thecover 202 is attached to themain body 201. If the number ofglass substrates 211 is n, the preferred number of partition layers 212 is n+1. Fillers (not shown) can be provided for filling gaps between theglass substrate 211 and portions of thebox 20, whereby shaking of theglass substrate 211 is avoided. - In various alternative embodiments, there can be fewer or
more channels 205 than those described above, according to the particular binding capability required in a given application. If theglass substrate 211 is relatively small and appropriately sized, it can be arranged within the opening of one or more of the partition layers 212. The partition layers 212 can be substantially rectangular panels without openings. The top andbase parts - Referring to
