An OLED device structure and a method of making the same. The OLED device structure
comprises (a) a substrate, (b) an OLED display area comprising one or more active
pixels disposed over the substrate, wherein each of the one or more active pixels
comprises an anode region, a cathode region and a light-emitting region, (c) a
cover over the OLED display area, wherein the cover permits transmission of light
from the one or more active pixels and an outer environment, and wherein the cover
and the substrate cooperate to restrict transmission of oxygen and water vapor
from the outer environment to the OLED display area, and (d) a patterned getter
layer disposed between the substrate and the cover, wherein the patterned getter
layer is configured so as to substantially avoid obstructing the transmission of
light from the one or more pixels. Also disclosed are a flexible OLED device and
an organic optoelectronic device structures having related configurations.
