NOVELTY - The process comprises forming a first charge transport layer over a multiplicity of first electrode structures in an active area (140) of a substrate (110) that has a sealing area (130), forming a discontinuous pattern of a fluorinated material having a first surface energy on a portion of the sealing area, forming a photoactive layer comprising a luminescent metal complex by liquid deposition from a liquid composition, where the liquid composition has a second surface energy that is greater than the first surface energy, and forming a second charge transport layer in the active area.    USE - The process is useful for forming an encapsulated electronic device such as organic LED on a substrate (claimed), where the electronic device further includes: light emitting diode display, diode laser or lighting panel to convert electrical energy into radiation; photodetectors, photoconductive cells, photoresistors, photoswitches, phototransistors, phototubes, infrared detectors or biosensors to detect signals through electronic processes; a photovoltaic device or solar cell to convert radiation into electrical energy; and computer systems, avionics, automobiles, cellular phones, and consumer and industrial electronic products.    ADVANTAGE - The process is capable of efficiently and easily forming the encapsulated electronic device with high luminance efficiency, improved performance, enhanced electronic or electro-radiative properties and excellent chemical, physical, or electrical properties and without any degradation, and prevents exposure of the electronic devices to environmental contaminants.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The process comprises forming a first charge transport layer over a multiplicity of first electrode structures in an active area (140) of a substrate (110) that has a sealing area (130), forming a discontinuous pattern of a fluorinated material having a first surface energy on a portion of the sealing area, forming a photoactive layer comprising a luminescent metal complex by liquid deposition from a liquid composition, where the liquid composition has a second surface energy that is greater than the first surface energy, forming a second charge transport layer in the active area, forming a second electrode in the active area, cleaning the sealing area by a dry etch process, and bonding an encapsulation assembly (200) to the substrate in the sealing areas. The discontinuous pattern is formed by treating the pattern with a radiation-sensitive material, patternwise exposing to radiation, and developing, and comprises a regular array of islands of material and a regular array of elliptical holes in a film of material. The treatment of the material having a first surface energy with anisole results in a contact angle of 60 degrees . The photoactive material is applied in multiple printing lanes and the discontinuous pattern is the printing lanes in the sealing area. The printing lane has a width (w) of 1.6-1.8. The elliptical hole has a major axis (A) of 1.4-1.6 and a minor axis (a) of 0.85-1.15. The luminescent metal complex has a cyclometalating ligand coordinated through a nitrogen atom and a carbon atom, and is a host material. The photoactive layer is formed by continuous nozzle printing.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of an electronic device and an encapsulation assembly.
