Patent ID: 8772066

Claim:
A method for forming an encapsulating layer on an organic light emitting diode (OLED) substrate, comprising: forming a first inorganic layer on a region of a substrate having an OLED structure disposed thereon; forming a hybrid layer in physical contact with the first inorganic layer, wherein the hybrid layer comprises: a first sublayer having a majority of inorganic materials and a minority of organic materials; a middle sublayer having a majority of organic materials and a minority of inorganic materials; and a second sublayer having a majority of inorganic materials and a minority of organic materials, wherein the first sublayer, the middle sublayer, and the second sublayer are formed by supplying a processing gas comprising a HMDSO gas during the formation of each of the first sublayer, the middle sublayer, and the second sublayer; and forming a second inorganic layer in physical contact with the hybrid layer.
