Abstract: A fully encapsulated OLED panel with a first area for light emission which entirely surrounds a non-light emitting second area with a pass-through hole with cut edges comprising: a substrate that extends throughout the first area and second areas to the cut edges of the pass-through hole; a first electrode over the substrate located at least in the first area; at least one organic layer for light emission located over the first electrode in the first area but is not present in the second area; a second electrode located over the at least one organic layer in at least in the first area; encapsulation at least located over the second electrode in first area, over the second area and extends at least partially into the cut-edges of the pass-through hole; and wherein the area of the pass-through hole is smaller than the second area so that the second area entirely surrounds the pass-through hole.

Abstract: A flexible lighting panel comprising a light-emitting unit with electrical contact pads on a flexible substrate; a flat flexible printed circuit board with a bendable extension tab, wherein the circuit board is located on the opposite side of the light-emitting unit from the substrate; the area of the circuit board, not including the extension tab, is the same or greater than and overlaps the emissive area of the light-emitting unit; and the circuit board has at least two flat electrical connectors in electrical contact with the contact pads of the light-emitting unit; the flat electrical connectors extending along the extension tab of the circuit board for connection to a power source. The light emitting unit can be an OLED. The extension tab can be bent so that the flat electrical connections become accessible in different orientations. The panel can be ultrathin.
