Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organic light-emitting device is provided comprising a stack of layers including —an electro-optical layer structure ( 10 ) having a light emissive surface ( 12 ), —a light extraction structure ( 20 ) adjacent the light emissive surface, the light extraction structure has a nanostructured layer ( 22 ); and a backfill layer ( 24 ) comprising a material having a second index of refraction different from the first index of refraction, wherein the backfill layer ( 24 ) forms a planarizing layer over the nanostructured layer ( 22 ). The light emitting device includes a barrier film that comprises a first and a second inorganic layer ( 22, 26 ) and an organic layer ( 24 ) arranged between said inorganic layers. The one ( 22 ) of the inorganic layers of the barrier film closest to the electro-optical layer structure forms the nanostructured layer and the organic layer ( 24 ) between the inorganic layers forms the backfill layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device, said method comprising the steps of forming a stack of layers by providing a temporary substrate (TS) having a main surface, providing a nanopatterned structure at said main surface, applying with a conformal deposition method a layer ( 22 ) of a first inorganic material at said main surface of the temporary substrate having the nanopatterned relief, applying a first organic layer ( 24 )…
