Protective ultrabarrier coatings for displays on flexible polymeric film substrates were deposited. The ultrabarrier coatings met a number of tight performance specifications including low gas permeation, high conductivity transparent electrodes, chemical resistance, thermal stability and scratch resistance must be met. Transmission of oxygen and water vapors by native polymeric materials was sufficiently high to prohibit their use in LCD and OLED applications. A multilayer film structure with alternate layers of organic polymer and metal oxide, demonstrated oxygen and moisture permeation rates below the measurement limit of commercial instrumentation (
