Encapsulation of organic light emitting devices using Siloxane or Siloxane derivatives
| Details |
Inventors: Biebuyck, Hans; Haskal, Eliav;
Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation (Armonk, NY)
Primary Examiner: Picardat; Kevin M.
Assistant Examiner: Collins; Deven
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Ohlandt, Greeley, Ruggiero & Perle
An organic light emitting device (10) is provided which is encapsulated by a Siloxane buffer layer (17.1). This Siloxane buffer layer (17.1) is applied to the diode (10) providing for protection against contamination, degradation, oxidation and the like. The Siloxane buffer layer (17.1) carries at least a second encapsulation layer (17.2). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
Method for encapsulating an organic light emitting device by a transparent or semi-transparent stack of encapsulation layers, comprising the steps of: applying a buffer layer which comprises Siloxane to said organic light emitting device such that said buffer layer is in conformal contact with said organic light emitting device, and attaching a second layer to said buffer layer such that it adheres to said buffer layer and is separated from said organic light emitting device by said buffer layer.
2.
The method of claim 1, whereby, said buffer layer is applied to said organic light emitting device carrying out the steps: covering organic light emitting device with curable Siloxane, and then curing it on said organic light emitting device, preferably curing it such that it remains tacky.
3.
The method of claim 1, whereby said buffer layer is applied to said organic light emitting device in form of a flexible Siloxane film which was fabricated separately.
4.
The method of claim 2, whereby said buffer layer is patterned when applying it such that at least one contact electrode of said organic light emitting device remains accessible.
5.
The method of claim 3, whereby said buffer layer is structured after having been applied to said organic light emitting device such that at least one contact electrode of said organic light emitting device remains accessible.
6.
The method of claim 1, whereby said stack of encapsulation layers is pressed onto said organic light emitting device.
7.
The method of claim 1, whereby one of the layers of said stack of encapsulation layers is structured after having been applied to said organic light emitting device.
Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention pertains to organic electroluminescent devices, such as discrete light emitting devices, arrays, displays, and in particular to the encapsulation of these devices.
It furthermore relates to a method for encapsulating the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Organic electroluminescence (EL) has been studied extensively because of its possible applications in discrete light emitting devices, arrays and displays
