OLED ANODE STRUCTURES INCLUDING AMORPHOUS TRANSPARENT CONDUCTING OXIDES AND OLED PROCESSING METHOD COMPRISING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985632 titled 'OLED ANODE STRUCTURES INCLUDING AMORPHOUS TRANSPARENT CONDUCTING OXIDES AND OLED PROCESSING METHOD COMPRISING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods for processing OLED devices.

• The methods involve forming an anode on a substrate.
• The anode formation includes several steps:

 - Forming a first metal oxide material on the substrate.
 - Forming a metal layer over the first metal oxide material.
 - Forming a protective barrier over the metal layer.
 - Forming a second metal oxide material over the amorphous protection material.

• The protective barrier is an amorphous protection material that covers the metal layer.

Original Abstract Submitted

Exemplary methods of OLED device processing are described. The methods may include forming an anode on a substrate. Forming the anode may include forming a first metal oxide material on the substrate, forming a metal layer over the first metal oxide material, forming a protective barrier over the metal layer, and forming a second metal oxide material over the amorphous protection material. The protective barrier may be an amorphous protection material overlying the metal layer.
