Patent ID: 7387851

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a first electrode in electrical communication with a first current collector; a second electrode in electrical communication with a second current collector, a crosslinked polymer in contact with the first and second electrodes, wherein the crosslinked polymer has a thickness of between about 0.5 microns and about 5 microns at at least one point, and wherein the first electrode has a reflective index n 1 , the second electrode has a refractive index n 3 , an uncrosslinked precursor to the polymer has a refractive index n 2 , and n 1 <n 2 <n 3 , and wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes is comprised of a network of electrically connected particles comprising an electroactive material, and wherein the particles of at least one electrode exert a repelling force on the other electrode sufficient to promote self-organization of the particles when the first and second electrodes are combined with the uncrosslinked precursor to the polymer.
