Abstract

An in-situ method for fabricating, at least in part, an OLED device that is moisture- or oxygen-sensitive, such method comprising the steps of: providing into a controlled atmosphere coater a receiver element which will form part of the OLED device; providing into the controlled atmosphere coater a donor support element and coating such donor support element to produce a donor element with one or more layers required to produce all or part of the OLED device; controlling the atmosphere in the controlled atmosphere coater under controlled conditions; positioning the coated side of the donor element in material transferring relationship to the receiver element to be coated; and applying radiation to the donor element to selectively transfer one or more layers from the donor element to the receiver element.
