ABSTRACT:
A method of encapsulating an organic light-emitting device is disclosed, wherein the device includes a light-emitting portion and an electrical contact portion, the method including forming a polymer layer over the light-emitting portion and the electrical contact portion of the device; forming a separation in the polymer layer between a portion of the polymer layer disposed over the light-emitting portion of the device and a portion of the polymer layer disposed over the electrical contact portion of the device; adhering a film removal structure to the portion of the polymer layer disposed over the electrical contact portion of the device; and removing the film removal structure, thereby causing the removal of the portion of the polymer layer disposed over the electrical contact portion of the device.
