Encapsulation of organic devices

An organic light-emitting device, comprising:

• at least one active region comprising at least one organic layer;
• a first glass plate on which the at least one active region is applied;
• a second glass plate, said at least one active region being disposed between said first and said second glass plates, said first and said second glass plates being at least partially transparent in the near infrared spectral range;
• a bonding material comprising a solder glass and disposed between said first and said second glass plates, said bonding material forming at least one frame that surrounds said at least one active region and mechanically connecting said first glass plate with said second glass plate and sealing said at least one active region, said bonding material absorbing near infrared radiation;
• and
• spacer particles having a mean diameter that maintains a height between said first and said second glass plates,
• wherein said second glass plate comprises a coating on a side facing said first glass plate, said spacer particles being embedded in said coating,
• wherein a thickness of said coating excluding said spacer particles is smaller than the mean diameter of said spacer particles, and
• wherein said spacer particles are covered by the at least one organic layer.
