Patent ID: 7078726

Claim:
An encapsulated organic electronic device, comprising: a substrate; an organic electronic device on said substrate; a heat-activated adhesive on said substrate, said heat-activated adhesive surrounds a perimeter of said organic electronic device; and an encapsulation cover on said heat-activated adhesive, wherein at least one of: (1) a first absorbing layer is between said substrate and said heat-activated adhesive and in proximity to said heat-activated adhesive, and (2) a second absorbing layer is between said encapsulation cover and said heat-activated adhesive and in proximity to said heat-activated adhesive; and wherein if an IR source that supplies IR radiation is on a substrate-side, then an IR radiation absorption percentage of said substrate is less than an absorption percentage of said first absorbing layer if present and less than an absorption percentage of said second absorbing layer if present; and if an IR source that supplies said IR radiation is on an encapsulation cover-side, then an absorption percentage of said encapsulation cover is less than an absorption percentage of said first absorbing layer if present and less than an absorption percentage of said second absorbing layer if present.
