An electronic device, comprising:
- a plurality of pixel electrodes;
- an active layer on the plurality of pixel electrodes;
- an opposed electrode on the active layer;
- a first encapsulation film on the opposed electrode;
- and
- a second encapsulation film on the first encapsulation film,
- wherein the opposed electrode and the first encapsulation film have a common planar shape, such that the first encapsulation film covers an upper surface of the opposed electrode and exposes an outer sidewall of the opposed electrode, such that the outer sidewall of the first encapsulation film and the outer sidewall of the opposed electrode are substantially coplanar,
- wherein the second encapsulation film covers an upper surface of the first encapsulation film, covers entire side surfaces of the opposed electrode and the first encapsulation film, and covers the exposed and substantially coplanar outer sidewalls of the first encapsulation film and the opposed electrode,
- wherein the active layer has a shape that is different from the common planar shape of the opposed electrode and the first encapsulation film, and the opposed electrode on the active layer covers an entirety of an upper surface of the active layer and an entirety of outer sidewalls of the active layer.
