Abstract
The present invention relates to an encapsulated semiconductor device () provided on a flexible substrate (), a method of providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device () on a flexible substrate () and a software product for providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device () on a flexible substrate (). In a preferred embodiment, an encapsulation method is presented in which the organic layer () of an inorganic/organic/inorganic multilayer barrier () on a plastic foil () as a substrate is removed at the edges of an OLED (). The edges are subsequently sealed with a standard TFE process to encapsulate the OLED (). This enables cuttable OLEDs () that are cut out of a larger plastic substrate () and gives a method to reduce side leakage in OLEDs () that have been manufactured in a roll-to-toll process.
