Hybrid layers for use in coatings on electronic devices or other articles

摘要

A method for protecting an electronic device comprising an organic device body. The method involves the use of a hybrid layer deposited by chemical vapor deposition. The hybrid layer comprises a mixture of a polymeric material and a non-polymeric material, wherein the weight ratio of polymeric to non-polymeric material is in the range of 95:5 to 5:95, and wherein the polymeric material and the non-polymeric material are created from the same source of precursor material. Also disclosed are techniques for impeding the lateral diffusion of environmental contaminants.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising: a substrate; a functional organic body disposed over the substrate; a hybrid layer disposed over the functional organic body, wherein the hybrid layer comprises a mixture of polymeric silicon and silicon oxide; and an intervening layer that is disposed between the hybrid layer and the top surface of the functional organic body, wherein the intervening layer serves to adhere the hybrid layer to the top surface of the functional organic body; and a barrier coating disposed over the hybrid layer and extending over an edge of the hybrid layer; and a desiccant material disposed between the barrier coating and the hybrid layer.
