The second electrode includes a first conductive layer, a first separation layer disposed over the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer disposed over the first separation layer, wherein the first separation layer is not a continuous layer and the first and second conductive layers are bridged where the first separation layer is not continuous.

OLED device structures are provided that include an OLED, a high index optical layer (HOL), a thin film barrier disposed over the high index optical layer, and a low index optical layer (LOL) disposed over the thin film barrier. It is shown that such devices provide acceptable color emission that is at least comparable to a conventional device, while also exhibiting improved efficiency and luminance.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for fabricating an OLED are provided, which include dispensing a substrate material onto a substrate carrier, the substrate carrier being rotated by one or more drums, curing the substrate material to form a substrate, depositing at least one OLED onto the substrate, and separating the substrate from the substrate carrier.
Abstract:
A system and method for the fabrication of high efficiency OLED devices and more specifically, the fabrication of OLED panels optically coupled with impact resistant, transparent structures which permit operation of the OLED panel while providing impact resistance. The OLED device can be built directly on an impact resistant transparent structure, or attached to an impact resistant transparent structure after it is built on other types of substrate. The impact resistant transparent structure can be a toughened layer, such as a glass layer, an energy absorption layer, such as Polycarbonate (PC), or a combination of both. The OLED device is configured to transmit light through the impact resistant transparent structure to the viewer, and the impact resistant transparent structure provides impact resistance for the OLED from the force of any impacting object.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a substrate for an organic light emitting device (OLED), by applying a volume-reducing substrate material onto a mold with topographical features that generates a smooth but non-flat surface on both sides of the substrate which can enhance light extraction of OLEDs that are built on top of the substrate. The resulting substrate includes surface features on a first substrate surface complementary to the surface features of a mold, such as spherical lens features, and surface features on a second substrate surface, such as dimple features, complementary to the curvature of the spherical lens features on the first substrate surface.
