NOVELTY - First product (900) comprises substrate (910) having first edge (913), and first surface (911) connected with first side (912) of the substrate; device (901) disposed over the substrate, and having second side; where at least first portion of second side is disposed within approximately 3 mm from first edge of the substrate; and first barrier film (903) that covers portion of first edge of the substrate, at least portion of first side of the substrate, and first portion of second side of the device.    USE - As first product such as solar cell, thin film battery, organic electronic device, lighting panel or lighting source having lighting panel, display or electronic device having display, mobile phone, notebook computer, tablet computer, television, or organic light emitting device (OLED) (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The barrier film has very dense, high-quality interface with the surface of vertical side of the substrate; this dense, high-quality interface decreases permeation across the interface between barrier film and substrate, and increases the lifetime of the device, thus reducing degradation of the device or enabling the barrier film to extend a shorter distance along the side of the substrate. By using barrier film as edge seal on device, reduces or eliminates the non-device edge area of the product created by the edge seal, while also providing sufficient protection for the device to reduce degradation and increase lifetime based on the ingress of permeates (such as water vapor) into the active device area of device. Depositing the barrier film such that it is disposed over the device can decrease manufacturing costs and complexity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for first method involving providing a substrate; and depositing first barrier film so as to cover at least a portion of first edge and first side of the substrate, and at least first portion of second side of the device; where the step of providing a substrate involves scribing the substrate at several positions; depositing the device over the first surface of the substrate; and breaking the substrate at several scribed positions; after the device is deposited, ablating a portion of device to expose second side of the device; and after portion of the device is exposed, ablating portion of substrate to expose the first side.
