Abstract
A method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of a device (e.g., an OLED device) and the resulting device are described herein. To inhibit the oxygen and moisture degradation of the device, a Sn2+-containing inorganic oxide material is used to form a barrier layer on the device. The Sn2+-containing inorganic oxide material can be, for example, SnO, blended SnO & P2O5 powders, and blended SnO & BPO4 powders.
