Abstract

A photolithographic technique to fabricate vacuum-deposited organic light emitting devices has been demonstrated. The photolithographically patterned, yet unpackaged devices show no sign of deterioration in room ambient when compared with devices fabricated using shadow masks. Furthermore, the environmental robustness of the encapsulated devices makes them particularly useful in fabricating high resolution, full color displays.
