Patent ID: 8749134

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a substrate; and a layer sequence disposed on the substrate, the layer sequence comprising: a first electrode surface on the substrate with a first contact and a second contact; at least one functional layer, which emits light during operation; a second electrode surface on the at least one functional layer, wherein the second electrode surface comprises a third contact and a fourth contact; and a plurality of partial regions in the layer sequence, wherein the layer sequence is modified by the partial regions in such a way that the emission of light visible to an outside observer is interrupted, wherein a distribution density of each partial region varies depending on a distance of that partial region from the first contact; and electrically conducting conductive paths that are arranged in the partial regions and that, emanating from the first contact and/or the second contact and/or the third contact and/or the fourth contact, extend across the first and/or second electrode surface; wherein adjacent conductive paths comprise different lengths, and a length distribution of the conductive paths emanating from the first and/or second contact and/or the third and fourth contact, in each case, comprises at least one maximum and one minimum; and wherein the maxima and minima of the length distribution of the conductive paths emanating from the first and second contact and/or from the third and fourth contact are located opposite each other.
