  • Publication number: 20130248914
    Abstract: A packaged optoelectronic device and a method for manufacturing is provided. The packaged optoelectronic device includes at least one optoelectronic device with two electrodes sandwiched between a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer. At least one of the barrier layers comprises at least one aperture. Further, the packaged device includes a plurality of thin electrically conductive connectors. Each of the thin connectors extends out through the at least one aperture and is coupled to the anode or the cathode. Further, the thin connectors are connected to an external power source to provide power to the anode and the cathode.

  • Publication number: 20110163337
    Abstract: Provided are organic device packages configured to limit current flow through shorted sub-elements in the organic device. In some embodiments, the organic device package may include multiple elements, each having multiple sub-elements connected in parallel. Each element may have a first electrode patterned into thin electrode strips connected in parallel, and each of the electrode strips may be an electrode of one of the multiple sub-elements. The electrode strips may have a resistance which may be higher than the overall resistance of other sub-elements in the element, such that a current flowing to the element may be substantially limited from flowing through a shorted sub-element in the element. Each element may also be connected in series to another element in the organic device package, and one or more series-connected elements may also be connected in parallel within the package.
