Abstract
An organic electroluminescent device comprises a substrate that supports a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light emitting structure that is disposed between the first and second electrodes. A protective structure comprising a layer of boron oxide and an inorganic barrier layer cooperates with the substrate to encapsulate the first electrode, the second electrode, and the light-emitting structure.
