A flexible displaying substrate includes: a first flexible film layer; a first barrier layer provided on a first surface of the first flexible film layer, and the first barrier layer is a constant-thickness film layer; a second barrier layer provided on one side of the first barrier layer away from the first flexible film layer; and a second flexible film layer is provided between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer; wherein a surface of the second barrier layer closer to the first flexible film layer is provided with a slot, and a first orthographic projection of the second flexible film layer on the first flexible film layer and a second orthographic projection of the slot on the first flexible film layer at least partially overlap.

A substrate with coated edge surfaces, an apparatus for performing the coating, and a method therefor are described. The substrate may include edge surface electrical connectors, wherein the edge coating is coated overtop the edge surface electrical connectors. The apparatus for performing the coating operation includes a rotary fixture configured to facilitate coating of all edge surfaces of a stack of substrate prior to curing of the edge surface coating, wherein according to the method, edge surfaces of one group of corresponding edge surfaces in the stack are coated with a coating material, the rotary fixture is then rotated to position a second group of edge surfaces for coating, and so forth. The coating process is controlled to obtain a consistent overflow onto major surfaces of the stacked substrates.

A thin-film coating applicator assembly is disclosed for coating substrates in outdoor applications. The innovative thin-film coating applicator assembly is adapted to apply performance enhancement coatings on installed photovoltaic panels and glass windows in outdoor environments.
