Abstract
A light emitting device includes a stack of layers having a basic layer, a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. An organic light-emitting layer is sandwiched between the first and second electrode layers. At least one shunt element has a connection-end and a free-end. The connection-end is connected with one of the electrode layers, and the free-end is jutting out of the stack of layers.
Claims5
A light-emitting device, comprising:
- a basic layer;
- a first electrode layer formed over the basic layer;
- an organic light-emitting layer formed over the first electrode;
- a second electrode layer formed over the organic light-emitting layer so that the organic light-emitting layer is disposed between the first and second electrode layers;
- and
- at least one shunt element comprising a connection-end connected to one electrode layer of the first and second electrode layers,
- wherein the at least one shunt comprises a first shunt element connected to the first electrode layer and a second shunt element connected to the second electrode layer,
- wherein the first shunt element comprises a comb-like structure and the second shunt element comprises a line-like structure, and
- wherein the first shunt element and the second shunt element jut out beyond the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.
