Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a substrate having an active region defined thereon, the active region comprising at least one active component; a cap bonding region surrounding the active region; a bond pad region adjacent to the active region, wherein the bond pad region comprises bond pads which are electrically coupled to the active component through an electrical connection formed of a conductive film; a contact conductor that is electrically coupled to at least one of the bond pads and to the active component, wherein the contact conductor does not directly contact the bond pads, and the contact conductor enhances conductance between said at least one of the bond pads and the active component beyond the conductance along the electrical connection; a cap bonded so the substrate in the cap bonding region with the contact conductor being disposed between thc cap and the cap bonding region, the cap encapsulating the active region, wherein a portion of the contact conductor extends outside the cap; and an insulating protective layer in direct contact with at least a portion of the contact conductor that extends outside the cap, wherein the insulating protective layer has no direct contact with the bonding pads; wherein the active component comprises at least one OLED cell; and wherein the active component, the bonding pads and that contact conductor are formed on the conductive film.
