The present techniques provide systems and methods for protecting electronic devices such as organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) from adverse environmental effects using a thin film encapsulation with reduced process time. In some embodiments, the process time of forming a graded barrier over the OLED structure may take less than 5 minutes, and may result in substantially similar barrier properties as those of metal and epoxy sealants and/or typical thin film encapsulations. The process time of forming the barrier may be reduced by increasing deposition rates for organic and/or inorganic materials, reducing the thicknesses of organic and/or inorganic layers, and/or varying the number of zones in the barrier.
A method of forming a barrier coating, the method comprising:
A method of encapsulating an electronic device on a substrate, the method comprising:
A method of depositing a barrier over an electronic device, the method comprising:
A barrier consisting of:
