Abstract
The present disclosure provides devices and methods thereof. An inorganic layer is disposed on a substrate, in which the inorganic layer defines sub-pixels of the device. The inorganic layer includes a plurality of overhang structures. The device includes a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel including an anode, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) material disposed over and in contact with the anode, a cathode disposed over and in contact with the OLED material, and an encapsulation layer disposed over the OLED material. A global passivation layer disposed over and in direct contact with a first overhang structure of the plurality of overhang structures, a second overhang structure of the plurality of overhang structures, and the encapsulation layer of each of the sub-pixels.
