Patent ID: 8653544

Claim:
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device comprising: a substrate with multiple light emitting OLED segments on top of the substrate, wherein each of the OLED segments comprises an electroluminescent layer stack of at least one organic light-emitting layer disposed between a substrate electrode facing towards the substrate and a counter electrode, wherein the OLED segments are connected in series and adjacent segments of the OLED segments are separated by an interconnect region located between the adjacent OLED segments, wherein the interconnect region includes a first isolation layer of an electrically non-conducting material between the substrate electrodes of the adjacent OLED segments to electrically isolate the substrate electrodes, of the adjacent OLED segments, from each other and includes a conductive layer of an electrically conducting material to connect the counter electrode of one of the adjacent OLED segments to the substrate electrode of the other OLED segment of the adjacent OLED segments, and wherein the electrically non-conducting material includes light scattering particles that are configured to redirect the light emitted by the adjacent OLED segments out of the substrate to enable light emission from the interconnect region.
