Abstract
A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device stack () includes providing a multi-layered structure comprising an electro-optical layer () that contacts a charge injection layer () comprising an acidic compound (). A resist layer () is deposited onto the electro-optical layer () and comprises a cationically-crosslinkable resist material () that reacts adjacent breaches (12',13′) in the electro-optical layer () by a cross-linking reaction. This reaction is induced by protons () from the charge injection layer () and results in covering of the breaches (12′,13′) with patches () comprising cross-linked resist material (). Parts of the resist material () that have not cross-linked are removed, whereas the remaining patches () provide electrical insulation between the charge injection layer () and a layer subsequently deposited onto the electro-optical layer ().
