Abstract
An encapsulated optoelectronic device includes: a first barrier layer; an electroluminescence device coupled to the first barrier layer, and comprising a substrate and an electroluminescence element both defining a lateral side, and the electroluminescence element comprising a first electrode disposed on the substrate, a second electrode, and an optoelectronically active layer between the first and second electrodes; a second barrier layer coupled to the electroluminescence device; and an adhesive located between and connecting the first and second barrier layers, and at least coupled to the lateral side of the electroluminescence device to seal the electroluminescence device; a first conductive area electrically coupled to the first electrode and electrically insulated from the second electrode and a second conductive area; the second conductive area electrically coupled to the second electrode and electrically insulated from the first electrode and the first conductive area. A method for making the encapsulated optoelectronic device is presented.
