Abstract

The invention relates to a transparent substrate for an organic light-emitting device comprising an electrode-bearing carrier, said electrode consisting in a multilayer comprising at least, in order starting from the substrate, a first dielectric layer (D 1 ), a first conduction metal layer (M 1 ), a second dielectric layer (D 2 ), a second conduction metal layer (M 2 ), and a third dielectric layer (D 3 ), the conduction metal layers (M) in the electrode ( 11 ) being two in number, and the third dielectric layer (D 3 ) not comprising an indium-oxide-based layer. It is characterised in that the geometric thickness of the second dielectric layer (D 2 ) is at least 65 nm and the geometric thickness of the first conduction metal layer (M 1 ) is at least 8.5 nm.
