Methods, devices, and systems for electronic device molding and encapsulation

Abstract:

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for the molding and encapsulation of flexible electronic devices. The encapsulation includes providing a mold shell made from an encapsulation material, positioning a flexible electronic device in the mold shell, and dispensing an encapsulant, in a liquid form, around the flexible electronic device. The mold shell, the dispensed encapsulant, and the electronic device forms an integral encapsulation package when the encapsulant is cured. The mold shell and the encapsulant may be made from a same material and, once cured, become an integral part of the encapsulated flexible electronic device.
