Patent ID: 7982396

Claim:
A light-emitting device, comprising: a) a substrate; b) a first electrode formed over the substrate; c) a light-emitting layer formed over the first electrode; d) a second electrode formed over the light-emitting layer, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes is transparent; e) a light-scattering electrically conductive area on a side of the second electrode and opposite the light-emitting layer, the light-scattering electrically conductive area comprising electrically-conductive, light-scattering particles located in physical and electrical contact with the second electrode, wherein part of the light-scattering electrically conductive area is unoccupied by the light-scattering particles, the unoccupied area consisting of gas or vacuum, f) forming a transparent, electrically-conductive layer or a reflective, electrically-conductive layer over and directly in contact with the light-scattering electrically-conductive area.
