Claim:
1. A light-emitting device comprising a light emission source between a substrate and a thin-film encapsulation, wherein the light emission source comprises a light emission region between an anode and a cathode, the light emission region being adapted to emit light if a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, the light emission source further comprising an alternating arrangement of anode pads for electrically connecting the anode and cathode pads for electrically connecting the cathode, the alternating arrangement of anode and cathode pads being supported by the substrate, wherein the thin-film encapsulation overlies the anode and cathode pads and comprises openings for accessing the alternating arrangement of anode and cathode pads from outside the thin-film encapsulation, wherein the light-emitting device further comprises an anode electrical connector for electrically interconnecting the anode pads through the openings of the thin-film encapsulation over the anode pads and for electrically connecting the anode pads to a voltage source, and a cathode electrical connector for electrically interconnecting the cathode pads through the openings of the thin-film encapsulation over the cathode pads and for electrically connecting the cathode pads to the voltage source, wherein the alternating arrangement of anode and cathode pads, the thin-film encapsulation, the anode electrical connector and the cathode electrical connector are configured such that the anode pads are electrically connected by a straight part of the anode electrical connector and the cathode pads are electrically connected by a straight part of the cathode electrical connector, the straight parts of the anode and cathode electrical connectors being metal stripes that have been deposited on the thin-film encapsulation, and wherein the alternating arrangement of anode and cathode pads, the thin-film encapsulation, the anode electrical connector and the cathode electrical connector are further configured such that the thin-film encapsulation electrically insulates the anode pads from the overlying straight part of the cathode electrical connector and electrically insulates the cathode pads from the overlying straight part of the anode electrical connector.
