Abstract
An opto-electronic device includes: (i) a substrate having a surface; (ii) a first electrode disposed over the surface; (iii) a semiconducting layer disposed over at least a portion of the first electrode; (iv) a second electrode disposed over the semiconducting layer; (v) a nucleation inhibiting coating disposed over at least a portion of the second electrode; (vi) a patterning structure disposed over the surface, the patterning structure providing a shadowed region between the patterning structure and the second electrode; (vii) an auxiliary electrode disposed over the surface; and (viii) a conductive coating disposed in the shadowed region, the conductive coating electrically connecting the auxiliary electrode and the second electrode.
Claims (33)
1 . An opto-electronic device having a plurality of layers, comprising:
a nucleation inhibiting coating (NIC) disposed in a first part of a lateral aspect of the device, the first part comprising an emissive region comprising:
a first electrode,
a second electrode, and
at least one semiconducting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, at least a part of the second electrode disposed between the NIC and the at least one semiconducting layer,
a pixel definition layer (PDL) covering an edge of the first electrode, wherein the PDL defines an opening through which the first electrode is exposed, and which corresponds to the emissive region of the device,
a patterning structure disposed in a second part of the lateral aspect and having a sidewall, at least a part of the sidewall being substantially devoid of the NIC,
a conductive coating deposited in contact with the part of the sidewall, and electrically coupled with the second electrode, and
an auxiliary electrode, disposed in the second part, wherein the conductive coating is electrically coupled therewith.
2 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive coating is in contact with the second electrode.
3 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the NIC is arranged between the conductive coating and the second electrode, and is configured to allow electrical connection to be established therebetween.
4 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an auxiliary electrode is disposed in the second part and formed by the conductive coating.
5 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the patterning structure is disposed on a surface of the PDL.
6 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary electrode is disposed on the surface of the PDL.
7 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the patterning structure is the auxiliary electrode.
8 . The opto-electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary electrode defines a step edge.
9 . The opto-electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary electrode extends substantially vertically.
10 . The opto-electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary electrode defines an overhang that provides the shadowed region.
11 . The opto-electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary electrode comprises a lower portion and an upper portion.
12 . The opto-electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the lower portion is recessed relative to the upper portion.
13 . The opto-electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the lower portion comprises a different material than the upper portion.
14 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the patterning structure comprises a laterally extending portion that provides a shadowed region in the second part,
the shadowed region is substantially devoid of the NIC, and
at least a part of the conductive coating is deposited in the shadowed region.
15 . The opto-electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the shadowed region is adapted to be masked during the deposition of the NIC to inhibit the deposition of the NIC thereon.
16 . The opto-electronic device of claim 14 , wherein:
the patterning structure comprises a base portion and a top portion, between which the sidewall extends, and
the top portion extends laterally outward from the base portion, thereby providing the shadowed region.
17 . The opto-electronic device of claim 14 , wherein at least a part of the auxiliary electrode is disposed in the shadowed region.
18 . The opto-electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the auxiliary electrode is disposed beneath the patterning structure.
19 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall is one of: substantially linear, tapered, and curved.
20 . The opto-electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a material of the conductive coating comprises magnesium.
