Abstract
The present invention provides a process for selectively thermally transferring insulators onto organic electroluminescent stacks or layers to electronically isolate adjacent devices upon deposition of electrode material. This can allow the formation of top electrodes for a plurality of organic electroluminescent devices on a substrate via one deposition step to form a single common top electrode or a plurality of electrodes patterned by shadowing due to the presence of the insulators.
