Protective coating compositions and devices

1. An optoelectronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

a UV-protective coating composition, disposed on at least one electromagnetic radiation-receiving or radiation-emitting surface of the device, wherein the coating composition comprises:

an acrylate polymer; and

a non-crystallizing UV-absorber composition comprising a dibenzoylresorcinol and a triazine, wherein the dibenzoylresorcinol is present at a level sufficient to prevent the substantial crystallization of the triazine compound, under temperature and humidity conditions of evaporation for solvents or solvent mixtures in the coating composition, after deposition of the coating on a selected substrate.

2. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , in the form of a photodiode, a light emitting diode, a photovoltaic device, a camera, a photo detector, or a semiconductor laser.

3. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , in the form of a photovoltaic cell or a photovoltaic module.

4. The optoelectronic device of claim 3 , wherein the photovoltaic cell or a photovoltaic module comprises an amorphous silicon cell, a crystalline silicon cell, a hybrid/heterojunction amorphous and crystalline silicon cell, a CdTe thin film cell, a micromorph tandem silicon thin film cell, a Cu(In, Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) thin film cell, a GaAs cell, a multiple junction III-V-based solar cell, a dye-sensitized solar cell, or a solid-state organic/polymer solar cell.

5. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the dibenzoylresorcinol is present at a level in the range of about 10 weight percent to about 30 weight percent, based on the weight of the total solids in the coating composition.
