Abstract
A textured glass substrate along with articles comprising a textured glass substrate and methods of making are provided. The substrates retain the mechanical and optical properties of the untextured glass, while the process provides a reliable and low cost, easy scale up method. The resulting glass substrates are of particular use for light extraction in organic light emitting diode structures.
Claims11
A device, comprising:
- an article comprising a textured glass substrate comprising a first face, a second face, a thickness of 30 μm to 2 mm measured from the first face to the second face, and at least one edge;
- the first face comprising an approximately planar surface comprising a first surface roughness, Ra1, of less than 2 nm;
- and
- the second face comprising a textured surface comprising a second surface roughness, Ra2, of from 200 nm to 600 nm and a plurality of surface features comprising a feature size, F, of 2 μm to 20 μm in diameter;
- a cathode;
- an anode;
- and
- at least one organic light emitting layer that is capable of emitting light,
- wherein the textured glass substrate is coupled to the device such that light emitted from the organic light emitting layer passes through the textured glass substrate.
