1. A method, comprising:
- providing a first substrate;
providing an electromagnetic radiation absorbent sealing material over a surface of the first substrate;
providing a second substrate over the first substrate, an array of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) being disposed over a surface of the second substrate; and
heating the sealing material with a source of electromagnetic radiation to soften the sealing material, thereby forming a hermetic seal between the first and second substrates.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for forming a hermetic seal between two substrates includes providing an electromagnetic absorbent sealing material perimetrically about a surface of one of the substrates. Furthermore, the illustrative method includes heating the sealing material. In addition, a package having a hermetic seal and apparati for disposing a sealing material are described.
