Abstract
A functional device includes plural substrates, an encapsulant arranged between the plurality of substrates, and a functional material arranged between the plural of substrates and encapsulated with the encapsulant. The functional device further includes an insulating spacer arranged in an entire region where the encapsulant lies, wherein the insulating spacer bonds with the plural substrates through the encapsulant. The encapsulant and the insulating spacer of the functional device allow avoiding a short circuit by providing a constant separation distance between the plural substrates of the functional device and electrodes adjacent to the plural substrates. The insulating spacer is made of a material that is inert to the functional material.
