Claim:
An array comprising a plurality of packages positioned in at least one row, each package enclosing an optoelectronic device and overlapping at least one adjacent package; wherein each package comprises an edge seal zone defining an electroactive area, and at least a portion of the edge seal zone is transparent; the electroactive area of a first package in each row is overlapped by the transparent portion of the edge seal zone of an adjacent package; the transparent portion of the edge seal zone of each package other than the first package in each row overlaps the electroactive area of an adjacent package; a portion of the edge seal zone of each package is non-transparent, the electroactive area of each package in the row overlaps the non-transparent portion of the edge seal zone of an adjacent package; the non-transparent portion of the edge seal zone comprises a conductive layer configured to connect an anode and a cathode of the optoelectronic device to an external power source via a plurality of terminals; and the cathode and the anode extend through a non-transparent portion of the edge seal zone.
