Patent Images
1. A method of hermetically sealing one or more compositions comprising a plurality of luminescent nanocrystals, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a first substrate;
(b) disposing one or more compositions comprising a plurality of luminescent nanocrystals onto the first substrate;
(c) disposing a second substrate on the first substrate so as to cover the compositions of luminescent nanocrystals; and
(d) sealing the first and second substrates; and
(e) disposing a first barrier layer on the first substrate and a second barrier layer on the second substrate which is configured to reduce or eliminate the passage of moisture and/or air to the nanocrystals, which first and second barrier layer comprises an inorganic layer of SiO2 or AlO2.
