Abstract
The invention describes a method of manufacturing an OLED device (), which method comprises applying a number of conductive strips () onto a substrate (); depositing an organic layer () onto the substrate () within a region bounded by the conductive strips (); applying a sealant onto the conductive strips () to encapsulate the OLED device (); and depositing a conductive protective layer () at least partially onto each conductive strip () such that a surface of a conductive strip () external to the sealant is protected by the conductive protective layer (). The invention also describes an OLED device () comprising a number of conductive strips () applied onto a substrate (); an organic layer () deposited on the substrate () within a region bounded by the conductive strips (); a conductive protective layer () deposited at least partially onto the conductive strips (); and a sealant for encapsulating the OLED device (), which sealant is applied to the conductive strips () such that a surface of the conductive strips () external to the sealant is protected by the conductive protective layer ().
