First Claim
1. An encapsulated organic optoelectronic device, comprising:
- a substrate;
an organic optoelectronic device on said substrate, said organic optoelectronic device includes a cathode;
a diffusion layer on said organic optoelectronic device, said diffusion layer covers exposed areas of said organic optoelectronic device;
an adhesive layer on said substrate and around a perimeter of said diffusion layer, wherein said adhesive layer is separated from said diffusion layer by a gap such that said adhesive layer does not physically contact said diffusion layer;
an encapsulation lid on said adhesive layer, said encapsulation lid forming a cavity around said organic optoelectronic device such that there is a gap between said encapsulation lid and said diffusion laver; and
a getter on said encapsulation lid, said getter overlies said organic optoelectronic device,wherein said diffusion layer slows a rate of absorption of reactive gasses by said cathode and increases a proportion of said reactive gasses absorbed by said getter relative to said cathode.

Abstract
An embodiment of an encapsulated organic optoelectronic device is described. The encapsulated device includes an organic optoelectronic device on a substrate and that organic optoelectronic device has a cathode. The encapsulated device further includes a diffusion layer that is on the organic optoelectronic device and that diffusion layer covers exposed areas of the organic optoelectronic device. An adhesive layer is on the substrate and is around a perimeter of the diffusion layer. An encapsulation lid is on the adhesive layer, and a getter is on the encapsulation lid such that the getter overlies the organic optoelectronic device. The diffusion layer slows a rate of absorption of reactive gasses by the cathode and increases a proportion of the reactive gasses absorbed by the getter relative to the cathode.
