The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode comprising on a
substrate, from the rear face to the front face, at least one rear
electrode of a first type surmounted by an organic light-emitting layer,
itself surmounted by at least one front electrode of a second type, the
organic light-emitting layer producing light when holes and electrons are
injected into it by a current flowing through the electrodes, the types
corresponding to an anode and a cathode, at least one of the electrodes
being substantially transparent for the produced light in order to allow
it to escape through one of the faces of said diode, referred to as the
exit face. According to the invention, said substantially transparent
electrode comprises at least one transparent extraction zone and at least
one reflective zone adapted to return the produced light through the
light-emitting layer, and said diode also comprises reflector means which
are arranged on the opposite side of said substantially transparent
electrode from the organic light-emitting layer and are adapted to return
the produced light to said substantially transparent electrode through
the light-emitting layer. The diode may be configured by embossing, and
various embodiments are described.
