OLED device having spacers
First Claim
1. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device, comprising:
- a substrate;
an OLED formed on the substrate comprising a first electrode formed over the substrate, one or more layers of organic material, one of which emits light, formed over the first electrode, and a transparent second electrode formed over the one or more layers of organic material, the transparent second electrode and layer(s) of organic light-emitting material having a first refractive index range;
a transparent cover provided over the OLED through which light from the OLED is emitted, the cover having a second refractive index;
a light scattering layer located between the substrate and cover for scattering light emitted by the light-emitting layer; and
an auxiliary electrode grid located above the transparent second electrode, providing spacing between the transparent second electrode and the cover, and forming transparent gaps between the transparent second electrode and the cover within grid openings, the transparent gaps having a third refractive index lower than each of the first refractive index range and second refractive index.
