18. The correction factor is arrived at by comparing the measured emission from a similar TOLED with and without the cover glass.
19. The estimate is conservative. The formula used is a linear approximation (leading edge trapezoidal rule) to the integral ∫ I(θ)sin(θ)dθ for θ = 0°-75°. The TOLEDs will be even more favored if the midpoint is used instead.
