First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of fabricating a device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a transparent substrate having a first side and a second side;
scoring, with a subtractive scoring process, the first side of the transparent substrate to form a non-planar surface on the first side of the substrate; and
disposing an OLED adjacent to the second side of the transparent substrate;
wherein the OLED is optically coupled to the transparent substrate.

Abstract
Devices and techniques are provided in which a transparent substrate is scored to provide a non-planar surface on one side of the substrate. An OLED is then disposed on the other side of the scored substrate and optically coupled to the substrate. The scored surface provides improvements to outcoupling of light generated by the OLED, with little or no additional thickness relative to the OLED alone.
