1. A sealed device comprising:
a first substrate including a first surface;
a second substrate including a second surface;
an inorganic film disposed between the first surface and the second surface, the inorganic film including;
a welded portion having a weld region comprising a bond formed between the first and second substrates and extending from a first depth in the first substrate to a second depth in the second substrate; and
a non-welded portion;
wherein the inorganic film comprises at least one inorganic film element and wherein one or both of the first and second substrates comprises at least one inorganic substrate element; and
wherein a first inorganic film element concentration of the first or second substrate in the weld region is higher than a second inorganic film element concentration of the first or second substrate outside the weld region; and
wherein the inorganic film, and optionally at least one of the first or second substrates is transmissive at wavelengths ranging from about 420 nm to about 750 nm.
