A method for improving current distribution of a transparent electrode includes forming a transparent electrode over a substrate; and forming a first mask. First openings are formed in the first mask. The first mask is also located over the transparent electrode. A dispersion, including conductive precursor components, is formed and deposited over the first mask and through the first openings onto the transparent electrode. Upon removal of the first mask, the conductive precursor components of the dispersion are cured to form first patterned conductive areas having a first thickness on the transparent electrode.
