Abstract: The present invention relates to an encapsulated semiconductor device (20) provided on a flexible substrate (1), a method of providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device (20) on a flexible substrate (1) and a software product for providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device (20) on a flexible substrate (1). In a preferred embodiment, an encapsulation method is presented in which the organic layer (3) of an inorganic/organic/inorganic multilayer barrier (5) on a plastic foil (1) as a substrate is removed at the edges of an OLED (13). The edges are subsequently sealed with a standard TFE process to encapsulate the OLED (13). This enables cuttable OLEDs (20) that are cut out of a larger plastic substrate (1) and gives a method to reduce side leakage in OLEDs (20) that have been manufactured in a roll-to-toll process.

Abstract: The invention describes a multi-device OLED (1) comprising a device layer stack (100) comprising a bottom electrode (11), a top electrode (14), at least one inter electrode (13) and plurality of active layers (120, 121), wherein the bottom electrode (11) is applied to a substrate (10), and each active layer (120, 121) is enclosed between two electrodes (11, 13, 14); a current distribution means (500) comprising a current distribution layer (51, 53, 54) for each electrode (11, 13, 14) of the device layer stack (100); a plurality of openings (110, 130) extending from the top electrode (14) into the device layer stack (100), wherein each opening (110, 130) exposes a contact region (111, 131) of an electrode (11, 13); and a plurality of electrical connectors (41, 42), wherein an electrical connector (41, 42) extends into an opening (110, 130) to electrically connect the electrode (11, 13) exposed by that opening (110, 130) to the current distribution layer (53, 54) for that electrode (11, 13).

Abstract: The invention relates to OLED devices (1) operational at high voltages providing a good life time performance, which can be manufactured with reduced effort and costs.
