Abstract

A packaging structure includes at least one inorganic layer and at least one passivation layer. The at least one passivation layer includes a halogen-containing amorphous solid oxide thin film. The amorphous solid oxide thin film in the at least one passivation layer has a crosslinked-polyhedra-network structure. A display device includes a substrate, a display layer, and a packaging structure. The packaging structure further includes at least one inorganic layer and at least one passivation layer. The at least one passivation layer includes a halogen-containing amorphous solid oxide thin film. The amorphous solid oxide thin film in the at least one passivation layer has a crosslinked-polyhedra-network structure. A method for fabricating a display device includes providing a substrate, forming a display layer over the substrate, and forming a packaging structure over the display layer with the packaging structure including at least one inorganic layer and at least one passivation layer.
