The OLED lighting element has an electrical bus-bar connected to said electrically conductive tracks extending substantially completely along the or each lateral edge of said lighting element. The electrically conductive tracks run in a radial direction from a laterally central location within said lighting element towards said bus-bar along said lateral edges of said lighting element. A said track subdivides into a plurality of tracks with increasing distance from said central location. This arrangement makes more efficient use of the conductive tracks.

  • Patent number: 8927308
    Abstract: Systems, and methods for the design and fabrication of OLEDs, including large-area OLEDs with metal bus lines, are provided. For a given panel area dimension, target luminous emittance, OLED device structure and efficiency (as given by the JVL characteristics of an equivalent small area pixel), and electrical resistivity and thickness of the bus line material and electrode onto which the bus lines are disposed, a bus line pattern may be designed such that Fill Factor (FF), Luminance Uniformity (U) and Power Loss (PL) may be optimized. One general design objective may be to maximize FF, maximize U and minimize PL. Another approach may be, for example, to define minimum criteria for U and a maximum criteria for PL, and then to optimize the bus line layout to maximize FF. OLED panels including bus lines with different resistances (R1) along a length of the bus line are also described.
