  • Publication number: 20090117809
    Abstract: A method of sealing an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) assembly is disclosed. A dry film adhesive is applied to a capping layer. An OLED assembly is placed in a cavity of a fixture. The capping layer is positioned in the cavity of the fixture such that a first edge of the capping layer contacts the OLED assembly and a second edge of the capping layer is separate from the OLED assembly. Atmospheric pressure is reduced between the capping layer and the OLED assembly. The second edge of the capping layer is dropped such that the second edge of the capping layer is adjacent the OLED assembly.

  • Patent number: 7452258
    Abstract: A method of attaching a protective cover to an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) assembly is disclosed. According to the method, a liquid adhesive is applied to a substantial portion of a face one of the OLED assembly and the protective cover. The protective cover is substantially transparent. A face of the other of the OLED assembly and the protective cover is positioned upon the liquid adhesive. The liquid adhesive is cured to adhere the protective cover to the OLED assembly.

  • Patent number: 7435311
    Abstract: A method of adhering a first panel, such as an OLED assembly, to a second panel, such as a protective cover plate, is disclosed. An adhesive is applied to a face of at least one of the first and second panels. The first panel is positioned to be responsive to movement of any of a plurality of independently controlled expandable elements. The second panel is held adjacent the first panel. At least one of the expandable elements is selectively expanded so that a first edge of the first panel contacts a first edge of the second panel. The expandable elements are further selectively expanded so that the adhesive fully contacts the first and second panels.

  • Patent number: 7381110
    Abstract: A method of sealing an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) assembly is disclosed. According to the method, a liquid adhesive is applied to substantially all of a surface of an OLED assembly. A region of increased thickness of liquid adhesive is formed adjacent to a first edge of the OLED assembly. A first edge of the protective cover is placed adjacent to the first edge of the OLED assembly. A second edge of the protective cover is moved toward a second edge of the OLED assembly such that the region of increased thickness of liquid adhesive is moved from being adjacent to the first edge of the OLED assembly to being adjacent to the second edge of the OLED assembly. The liquid adhesive is allowed to stabilize and is then cured.
