An electroluminescent device (51) comprises a partitioning relief pattern
having overhanging sections (13) for partitioning an electrode layer of
the electroluminescent device (51) into a plurality of independently
addressable electrode segments (11a, 11b, 11d). The overhanging section
(13) is bent at predetermined positions (13b, 13c, 13d, 13e). The bends
thus formed are rounded and/or beveled in order to reduce the risk that
electrode segments (11a, 11b, 11d) are inadvertently connected via a
second electrode layer segment present on top of the overhanging section
(13).
