Electronic device with reduced non-device edge area

A first product comprising:

• a first substrate having a first surface, a first side, and a first edge where the first surface meets the first side;
• a second substrate having a first surface, a first side, and a first edge where the first surface meets the first side;
• a notch disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein walls of the notch are disposed at an obtuse angle relative to the first surface of the first and second substrates,
• wherein the first product includes a plurality of devices comprising a first device and a second device,
• wherein the first device is disposed over the first substrate, the first device having a second side;
• wherein at least a first portion of the second side of the first device is disposed within approximately 3 mm from the first edge of the first substrate;
• a first barrier film that covers at least a portion of the first edge of the first substrate, at least a portion of the first side of the first substrate, and at least the first portion of the second side of the first device;
• wherein the second device is disposed over the second substrate, the second device having a second side;
• wherein at least a first portion of the second side of the second device is disposed within approximately 3 mm from the first edge of the second substrate;
• and
• a second barrier film that covers at least a portion of the first edge of the second substrate, at least a portion of the first side of the second substrate, and at least the first portion of the second side of the second device.

A plurality of device products prepared by a process comprising the steps of:

• providing a substrate having a first surface, a first side, and a first edge where the first surface meets the first side;
• creating a plurality of notches within the first surface of the substrate in a thickness direction of the substrate, the plurality of notches forming walls in the substrate, where the walls are disposed at obtuse angles to the first surface of the substrate;
• after creating the plurality of notches, disposing a plurality of devices over the first surface of the substrate such that each device of the plurality of devices is separated from one another by a notch of the plurality of notches, wherein each of the separated devices disposed over the first surface of the substrate has a second side and at least a first portion of the second side is disposed not more than 3.0 mm from the first edge;
• depositing a first barrier film to cover the first edge and the first side of the substrate to cover portions of each device other than those in contact with the first surface of the substrate, and to cover the walls of the plurality of notches;
• and
• after the first barrier film is deposited, breaking the substrate along the plurality of notches to provide the plurality of device products, wherein at least portions of each device product other than those in contact with the first surface of the substrate are covered with the first barrier film, including the first edge and portions of the first side of the substrate and portions of the walls of the broken notches.
