Composite electrode for light-emitting device
First Claim
1. A multi-layer composite electrode for a light-emitting device, comprising:
- a transparent, conductive layer;
a reflective, conductive layer in electrical contact with the transparent, conductive layer; and
a light-scattering layer formed between the transparent, conductive layer and the reflective, conductive layer over only a first portion of the transparent, conductive layer, wherein the light-scattering layer is relatively less conductive than the reflective, conductive layer and the reflective, conductive layer is in electrical contact with the transparent, conductive layer over a second portion of the transparent, conductive layer where the light-scattering layer is not formed.
