## Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a substrate, an inorganic layer, and an organic layer. The substrate has a recess with a side portion. The inorganic layer is disposed on the substrate. The organic layer is disposed on the inorganic layer, wherein the organic layer and the inorganic layer have an interface, the interface includes a first part corresponding to the side portion of the recess, and the first part has a curved profile.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device, comprising:
a substrate, having a recess with a side portion;
an inorganic layer, disposed on the substrate; and
an organic layer, disposed on the inorganic layer,
wherein the organic layer and the inorganic layer have an interface, the interface comprises a first part corresponding to the side portion of the recess, and the first part comprises a curved profile.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the curved profile of the first part is located inside the recess.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the curved profile of the first part is located outside the recess.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the interface comprises a second part in a central portion of the recess, and the second part comprises a curved profile.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic device of claim 4, wherein a thickness of the inorganic layer at the central portion is greater than a thickness of the inorganic layer at the side portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a buffer layer disposed between the substrate and the inorganic layer, wherein the buffer layer partially overlaps the recess in a normal direction of the substrate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the buffer layer comprises a plurality of sub-layers.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the inorganic layer comprises:
a first inorganic layer; and
a second inorganic layer, wherein the first inorganic layer is located between the substrate and the second inorganic layer.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein a portion of the first inorganic layer, a portion of the second inorganic layer, and a portion of the organic layer are disposed in the recess.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The electronic device of claim 9, further comprising another organic layer, wherein the first inorganic layer and the another organic layer are at least partially located between the second inorganic layer and the substrate.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The electronic device of claim 10, further comprising a convex portion disposed on the substrate, and the convex portion at least partially overlaps the another organic layer in a normal direction of the substrate.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the substrate further comprises another recess, and the convex portion is located between the recess and the another recess.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the first inorganic layer, the another organic layer, the second inorganic layer, and the organic layer are sequentially arranged over the another recess.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the substrate further comprises an accommodating recess, and the accommodating recess is located between the recess and the convex portion.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The electronic device of claim 14, wherein first inorganic layer directly contacts and overlaps the second inorganic layer in the accommodating recess.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The electronic device of claim 14, wherein a portion of organic layer and a portion of the another organic layer are disposed in the accommodating recess.

### Claim 17 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein a thickness of the first inorganic layer is greater than a thickness of the second inorganic layer.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the recess is a groove.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the recess is a blind hole.

### Claim 20 (depends on 1)
