Patent ID: 7514280

Claim:
A method for making an organic light emitting display device, the method comprising: providing first and second devices, each device comprising: a first substrate comprising a first side surface and a front surface, a second substrate comprising a first side surface and a rear surface and opposing the first substrate, wherein the front and rear surfaces face away from each other, an array of organic light emitting pixels interposed between the first and second substrates, a display surface configured to display an image thereon, wherein the display surface is at least part of at least one of the front and rear surfaces, a frit seal interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate while surrounding the array, wherein the frit seal, the first substrate and the second substrate together define an enclosed space in which the array is located, the frit seal comprising a first side surface, and a first side comprising the first side surfaces of the first substrate, second substrates and the frit seal; arranging the first and second devices such that the front surface of the first device opposes the front or rear surface of the second device and that the first sides of the first and second devices face substantially the same direction; applying a material onto the first sides of the first and second devices, the material being configured to form a reinforcing structure when cured; and curing the material so as to form a reinforcing structure comprising a first portion contacting the first side of the first device and a second portion contacting the first side of the second device.
