Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a substrate having a substrate upper side, a layer sequence arranged on the substrate upper side and having at least one active, light-emitting, organic layer, wherein the layer sequence includes a plurality of emission regions that emit light, current-conducting rails which are a part of the layer sequence, wherein, in a plan view of the substrate upper side, the emissionr egions of the layer sequence are arranged next to the current-conducting rails, an encapsulation glass, wherein the layer sequence is arranged between the substrate and the encapsulation glass, and spacers formed as elevations on an encapsulation glass underside and facing towards the layer sequence of the encapsulation glass, wherein, in a plan view of the substrate upper side, the spacers at least partly overlap with the current-conducting rails, and the spacers prevent direct contact between the encapsulation glass and the layer sequence in the emission regions.
