OLED Blocking Member Encapsulation for Moisture Protection

The patent applies the inert atmosphere principle by creating a sealed encapsulation structure that prevents the organic light emitting layer from contacting harmful environmental factors such as moisture and air. The blocking member with curing layers forms a protective barrier that maintains an inert environment around the sensitive OLED components, thereby extending lifespan without affecting operational functionality.

The patent employs flexible blocking layers (first and second blocking layers) that are formed on substrates and cured to create a protective film structure. These thin film layers encapsulate the organic light emitting layer, providing protection against moisture and air penetration while maintaining the flexibility needed for OLED device structure.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the blocking structure into multiple functional layers: a first blocking layer formed on a first substrate, and a second blocking layer formed on a second substrate. These segmented layers are then assembled together with the light emitting element between them, creating a modular protection system that provides comprehensive environmental barrier while maintaining manufacturing flexibility.

The patent implements the nesting principle by placing the light emitting element between the first and second blocking layers, which are themselves formed on separate substrates. The blocking layers are cured to form encapsulating shells that nest around the sensitive organic layer, creating a nested protective structure where each layer serves a specific protective function.

The patent applies preliminary action by forming and curing the first blocking layer on the first substrate before assembly, and forming the second blocking layer on the second substrate before assembly. This preliminary preparation of the blocking layers ensures they are ready to provide immediate protection upon assembly, reducing the need for complex post-assembly processing while maintaining effective sealing.

The patent utilizes phase transitions through the curing process of the blocking layers. The blocking layers are applied in a uncured state, allowing for flexible assembly, and then cured (through UV exposure or other curing mechanisms) to transition to a solid, sealed state that provides effective environmental barrier. This phase transition enables simplified manufacturing while achieving reliable sealing.
