Encapsulated display devices

An encapsulated display device comprising:

• at least one first barrier stack comprising at least one first barrier layer and at least one first polymer layer;
• an environmentally sensitive display device adjacent to the at least one first barrier stack, wherein the environmentally sensitive display device is selected from liquid crystal displays, and electrophoretic inks;
• and
• at least one second barrier stack comprising at least one second barrier layer and at least one second polymer layer, wherein the at least one first barrier stack and the at least one second barrier stack encapsulate the environmentally sensitive display device, and wherein the oxygen transmission rate through the at least one first barrier stack or the at least one second barrier stack is less than 0.005 cc/m2/day at 23° C. and 0% relative humidity.

An encapsulated display device comprising:

• a substrate;
• an environmentally sensitive display device adjacent to the substrate, wherein the environmentally sensitive display device is selected from liquid crystal displays, and electrophoretic inks;
• and
• at least one first barrier stack comprising at least one first barrier layer and at least one first polymer layer, the at least one first barrier stack adjacent to the environmentally sensitive display device, wherein the at least one first barrier stack encapsulates the environmentally sensitive display device, and wherein the water vapor transmission rate through the at least one first barrier stack is less than 0.005 gm/m2/day at 38° C. and 100% relative humidity.
