Abstract: Light extraction blocks, and OLED lighting panels using light extraction blocks, are described, in which the light extraction blocks include various curved shapes that provide improved light extraction properties compared to parallel emissive surface, and a thinner form factor and better light extraction than a hemisphere. Lighting systems described herein may include a light source with an OLED panel. A light extraction block with a three-dimensional light emitting surface may be optically coupled to the light source. The three-dimensional light emitting surface of the block may includes a substantially curved surface, with further characteristics related to the curvature of the surface at given points. A first radius of curvature corresponding to a maximum principal curvature k 1 at a point p on the substantially curved surface may be greater than a maximum height of the light extraction block. A maximum height of the light extraction block may be less than 50% of a maximum width of the light extraction block. Surfaces with cross sections made up of line segments and inflection points may also be fit to approximated curves for calculating the radius of curvature.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the design and fabrication of OLEDs (100,200), including high-performance large-area OLEDs (300), are provided. Variously described fabrication processes may be used to deposit and pattern bus lines (320,510,800A,800B,800C,2410) and/or insulators (2420) using vapor deposition such as vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) through a shadow mask (810), and may avoid multiple photolithography steps. Bus lines (320,510,800A,800B,800C, 2410) and/or insulators (2420) may be formed with a smooth profile and a gradual sidewall transition. Such smooth profiles may, for example, reduce the probability of electrical shorting at the bus lines (320,510,800A,800B, 800C,2410). Other vapor deposition systems and methods may include, among other, sputter deposition, e-beam evaporation and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A final profile of the bus line (320,510,800A,800B,800C,2410) and/or insulator (2420) may substantially correspond to the profile as deposited. A single OLED device (100,200,300) may also be formed with relatively large dimension, e.g. a shortest dimension in plan view of greater than approximately 2 cm, or an active area (2430) greater than approximately 10 cm 2 plan view.

Abstract: A light emitting device with high light emission uniformity is disclosed. The device contains a first electrically conductive layer having a positive polarity and an electrically conductive uniformity enhancement layer in contact with the first electrically conductive layer. The device also contains a second electrically conductive layer having a negative polarity and a light-emitting structure situated between the first and the second electrically conductive layers. The light-emitting structure contains an organic material in direct contact with the second electrically conductive layer. The uniformity enhancement layer transmits essentially all wavelengths of light emitted by the light-emitting structure. Compared to devices lacking a uniformity enhancement layer, the device exhibits higher spatial uniformity in luminance and in color spectrum.
