摘要
Films of Cytop (TM), a perfluorinated polymer, are spin cast as a single barrier layer for evaluation of barrier properties on organic light-emitting devices and on Ca thin films. Cytop (TM) is water repellant, resulting in encapsulated organic light-emitting field effect transistors and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which remain active even after immersion into water or exposure to water droplets on the Cytop (TM) surface. OLEDs encapsulated with Cytop (TM) exhibit up to five times longer continuous operation under identical environmental and driving conditions compared with devices that are not encapsulated with Cytop (TM).
