Abstract
A method for forming a pixelated optoelectronic stack comprises forming a stacked layer structure that comprises a bottom electrode layer, an optoelectronic layer over the bottom electrode layer, and a patterned hard-mask comprising a pattern over the optoelectronic layer. The method comprises replicating the pattern into the optoelectronic layer and the bottom electrode layer, thereby forming a first intermediate pixelated stack comprising at least two islands of stack separated from one another by stack-free areas; providing an electrically insulating layer on the first intermediate pixelated stack; removing a top portion of the electrically insulating layer and removing any remaining hard-mask so that a top surface of the electrically insulating layer is coplanar with an exposed top surface of the first intermediate pixelated stack, yielding a second intermediate pixelated stack; and forming a top transparent electrode layer over the second intermediate pixelated stack.
