摘要 |
The invention describes a method of manufacturing an OLED device (10), which method comprises applying a number of conductive strips (4) onto a substrate (1); depositing an organic layer (2) onto the substrate (1) within a region bounded by the conductive strips (4); applying a sealant onto the conductive strips (4) to encapsulate the OLED device (10); and depositing a conductive protective layer (6) at least partially onto each conductive strip (4) such that a surface of a conductive strip (4) external to the sealant is protected by the conductive protective layer (6). The invention also describes an OLED device (10) comprising a number of conductive strips (4) applied onto a substrate (1); an organic layer (2) deposited on the substrate (1) within a region bounded by the conductive strips (4); a conductive protective layer (6) deposited at least partially onto the conductive strips (4); and a sealant for encapsulating the OLED device (10), which sealant is applied to the conductive strips (4) such that a surface of the conductive strips (4) external to the sealant is protected by the conductive protective layer (6). |
