OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH THIN BARRIER FILMS WITH CRYSTALLINE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE CONFORMALLY COATED ONTO COMPLEX SURFACES TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST MOISTURE

摘要

The present invention provides optoelectronic devices containing at least one conforming, thin film barrier coating provided on a nonplanar surface comprising a plurality of junctures. The barrier coating has a hybrid morphology including crystalline domains distributed in an amorphous matrix. The conformal coatings protect the optoelectronic device with long-lasting, durable, high quality barrier protection even though the coatings have sufficient crystalline characteristics so that many embodiments are electrically conductive.
