A bottom-emitting organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device, comprising:
a transparent substrate; an optical isolation cavity formed over the
substrate having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of
the substrate; a transparent electrode formed over the optical isolation
cavity; one or more layers of organic light-emitting material formed over
the transparent electrode; a second electrode formed over the one or more
layers of organic light-emitting material; and a light-scattering layer
formed over the optical isolation cavity; wherein the transparent
electrode or a second layer formed between the optical isolation cavity
and the transparent electrode comprises one or more openings leading to
the optical isolation cavity, and the cavity is formed by etching a
sacrificial layer deposited between the substrate and the transparent
electrode or the second layer through the one or more openings.
