Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and apparatus for encapsulating an OLED structure, more particularly, to a TFE structure for an OLED structure. The TFE structure includes at least one dielectric layer and at least two barrier layers, and the TFE structure is formed over the OLED structure. The at least one dielectric layer is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Having the at least one dielectric layer formed by ALD in the TFE structure improves the barrier performance of the TFE structure.
