Process and materials for making contained layers and devices made with same

A process for making an organic electronic device comprising a support having thereon an electrode, a first organic active layer, and a second organic active layer, said process comprising

• forming the first organic active layer over the electrode, said first organic active layer comprising a fluorinated material and a photoinitiator, and said first organic active layer having a first surface energy;
• treating the first organic active layer with a priming layer consisting essentially of an aromatic amine compound;
• exposing the priming layer patternwise with activating radiation, resulting in exposed areas and unexposed areas;
• developing the priming layer to effectively remove the priming layer from the unexposed areas resulting in a first layer having a patterned priming layer, wherein the patterned priming layer has a second surface energy that is higher than the first surface energy;
• and
• forming the second organic active layer by liquid deposition on the pattern of priming layer on the first organic active layer.

A process for forming a contained second layer over a first layer, said process comprising:

• forming the first layer comprising a fluorinated material, said first layer having a first surface energy;
• forming an intermediate layer on the first layer, said intermediate layer comprising a photoinitiator;
• forming a priming layer consisting essentially of an aromatic amine compound on the intermediate layer;
• exposing the priming layer patternwise with activating radiation, resulting in exposed areas and unexposed areas;
• developing the priming layer to effectively remove the priming layer and the intermediate layer from the unexposed areas, resulting in a first layer having thereon a patterned priming layer, wherein the patterned priming layer has a second surface energy that is higher than the first surface energy;
• and
• forming the second layer by liquid deposition on the patterned priming layer on the first layer.
