ELECTROLUMINESCENT OR PHOTOCELL DEVICE HAVING PROTECTIVE PACKAGING
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- (a) a optoelectronic element comprising (i) a substrate, (ii) a film comprising an optoelectronic material on a side of the substrate, and (iii) an anode and a cathode each of which are in contact with the film comprising the optoelectronic material and are separated from each other, wherein the side of the substrate bearing the film comprising the optoelectronic material, the film comprising optoelectronic material, the anode and the cathode define a top surface of the optoelectronic element, (b) a cover comprising (i) a lid having a bottom surface, and an outer edge, and (ii) a rim extending from the bottom surface of the lid, recessed from the outer edge of the lid, and defining a region circumscribed by the rim, wherein the rim contacts the top surface of the optoelectronic element so that the optoelectronic material is within the region defined by the rim, and (c) an adhesive located in a channel defined by (i) the bottom surface of the lid between the outer edge and the rim, (ii) the rim, and (iii) the top surface of the optoelectronic element not within the region circumscribed by the rim.

Abstract
The device of this invention comprises a optoelectronic element, a cover, and an adhesive. The optoelectronic element comprises a substrate bearing an anode, a film comprising an optoelectronic material, and a cathode. The cover comprises a lid and a raised rim which is recessed from the outer edge of the lid. The cover contacts the element so that the film comprising the optoelectronic material is located between the substrate and the lid, and within the region defined by the raised rim. An adhesive, located in a channel defined by the bottom surface of the lid from the outer edge to the rim, the rim, and the top surface of the optoelectronic element outside of the region defined by the rim, serves to attach the cover to the optoelectronic element.
