Abstract

Provided are a substrate for an organic electronic device (OED), an organic electronic system, a method of manufacturing the substrate or the system, a light source for a display, and a lighting device. The substrate for an OED may form an organic electronic system having enhanced durability by preventing penetration of a foreign material such as moisture or oxygen, and thus having excellent performance including light extraction efficiency.
