A method of manufacturing an OLED device with a curved light-emitting surface comprising:a) forming a flexible substrate and providing the flexible substrate in a flat configuration;b) forming one or more OLEDs having a first electrode, one or more layers of organic material, at least one of which is light emitting formed over the first electrode, and a second electrode formed over the one or more layers of organic material, on the substrate;c) forming a rigid, curved, encapsulating cover;d) conforming the flexible substrate, electrodes, and one or more layers of organic material to the rigid, curved, encapsulating cover; ande) sealing the conformed flexible substrate, electrodes, and one or more layers of organic material to the rigid, curved, encapsulating cover.
