A beam shaper is implemented to seal an OLED. The beam shaper comprises a first and second lens and a beam shaper. Changing the relative position of the first, second lens and beam shaper relative to each other enables the beam shaper to generate laser beams with different shapes and intensity profiles.

1. A method of sealing a glass package, the glass package comprising a first substrate, a second substrate and a frit pattern positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, the frit pattern comprising straight sections and curved sections, the method comprising the steps of: focusing a laser beam spot onto the flit pattern, the laser beam spot having a center portion and an edge portion, wherein the laser beam spot has a power intensity profile achieved by passing the laser beam through a diffuser, and dynamically changing the power intensity profile of the laser beam via the diffuser in real-time as the laser beam traverses the frit pattern; modifying the beam spot via the diffuser such that the power at the edge portion of the laser beam spot is greater than the power at the center portion of the laser beam spot; and sealing the glass package by traversing the laser beam spot along the frit pattern. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the power of the center portion is about 2 to about 4 times less than the power at the edge portion. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the power of the center portion is about 2 to about 3 times less than the power at the edge portion. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam spot is an elliptical laser beam spot with an aspect ratio in the range of about 1 to about 3. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam spot is a rectangular laser beam spot with an aspect ratio in the range of about 1 to about 3. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam spot includes an aspect ratio of about 2—about 4 as the laser beam spot traverses the straight sections of the frit pattern. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam spot includes an aspect ratio of less than 1 as the laser beam spot traverses the curved sections of the frit pattern. 8. A method of operating a beam shaper, the beam shaper comprising a first lens, a second lens, a distance between the first lens and the second lens, and a diffuser, the method comprising the steps of: generating a first laser beam spot with the beam shaper such that the first laser beam spot includes characteristics of shape and intensity profile;traversing a portion of a frit pattern with the first laser beam spot;generating a second laser beam spot from the first laser beam spot by using the beam shaper to dynamically change at least one of the first laser beam spot characteristics of shape and intensity profile in real-time as the first laser beam spot traverses the frit pattern; andtraversing another portion of the frit pattern with the second laser beam spot. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the second laser beam spot is generated by changing the distance. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the second laser beam spot is generated by changing the diffuser. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein a shape of the second laser beam spot is different from the shape of the first laser beam spot. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein second intensity profile of the second laser beam spot is different from the first intensity profile of the first laser beam spot. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the first laser beam spot further comprises a first power and the second laser beam spot further comprises a second power that is different from the first power. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the first laser beam spot further comprises a first frit utilization and the second laser beam spot further comprises a second frit utilization that is different from the first frit utilization. 15. The method of claim 8, the first laser beam spot comprising a center portion and an edge portion, wherein the center portion has a first power and the edge portion has a second power, wherein the second power is greater than the first power, and the second laser beam spot further comprises a center portion and an edge portion, wherein the center portion has a third power and the edge portion has a fourth power, wherein the fourth power is greater than the third power, and wherein the first power is different than the third power and the second power is different than the fourth power.
