Abstract (en)

A method of forming a seal for a thin film electroluminescent device (10) includes using deposition techniques (36) to form an integral thin film encapsulating layer (26; 28). Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition is utilized, allowing the formation of the seal to take place at substantially room temperature. A pre-bake (34) is performed at an elevated temperature in an evacuated environment prior to the formation of the thin film encapsulating layer. A silicon nitride film my be used as a single-film encapsulating layer, or may be used with another material (30) in the fabrication of a multi-film encapsulating layer.
