Patent ID: 8053977

Claim:
Light device comprising: a substrate; a first planar electrode layer disposed on the substrate; a photo-organic layer having a top surface portion disposed on the first planar electrode layer in a first plane and furthermore having an emission portion formed at a boundary of the top surface portion such that the emission portion protrudes beyond the first planar electrode layer, wherein the emission portion includes a lateral edge surface disposed in a second plane that is transverse to the first plane; a second planar electrode layer that is electrically separated from the first planar electrode layer by the photo-organic layer, wherein the second planar electrode layer is disposed on the photo-organic layer such that the second planar electrode layer protrudes beyond the emission portion of the photo-organic layer, and wherein the second planar electrode layer is further disposed such that the second planar electrode layer covers the lateral edge surface of the emission portion of the photo-organic layer; and at least one encapsulation layer, wherein the photo-organic layer is positioned between said substrate and said at least one encapsulating layer, and wherein multiple openings spaced apart from the photo-organic layer are provided through the light device to allow fluids and/or heat to pass through.
