Patent ID: 8164257

Claim:
An organic light emitting device comprising: a first substrate comprising a pixel region and a non-pixel region; an array of organic light emitting pixels formed over the pixel region of the first substrate; a second substrate placed over the first substrate, the array being interposed between the first and second substrates; an electrically conductive line formed over the non-pixel region of the first substrate; and a frit seal interposed between the first and second substrates and surrounding the array such that the array is encapsulated by the first substrate, the second substrate and the frit seal, wherein the electrically conductive line comprises a portion overlapping the frit seal in a segment of the device such that the portion of the electrically conductive line substantially eclipses the frit seal when viewed from the first substrate, wherein the frit seal contacts the electrically conductive line and wherein there is substantially no material between the frit seal and the electrically conductive line.
