OLED device and manufacture thereof

A method of manufacturing an OLED device comprising the following steps:

• providing an electrically conductive carrier substrate in the form of a metal material having a first carrier surface and a second carrier surface,
• assembling at least on the first carrier surface a patterned layer of insulating material over an integral area, the layer of insulating material being patterned by a plurality of holes such that an electric access to the first carrier surface is possible from an upper surface of the layer of insulating material facing away from the first carrier surface,
• assembling a patterned conductive coating on the insulating material at the upper surface such that the conductive coating enters the holes and covers the insulating material over the integral area, wherein the conductive coating is patterned such that a number of discrete first electrode areas are formed in the conductive coating,
• applying at least one organic light-emitting layer above at least one first electrode area of said first electrode areas such that the majority of the at least one organic-light emitting layer lies in a plane and the at least one first electrode area is disposed perpendicular to the plane and below the at least one organic-light emitting layer, wherein a portion of the conductive coating forming said at least one first electrode area is in contact with said electrically conductive carrier substrate,
• applying a second electrode layer above the organic light emitting layer.
