Abstract:
1. A luminaire comprising at least one organic light-emitting diode and a plurality of connectors, wherein the organic light-emitting diode comprises: a carrier substrate having a carrier front face and a carrier rear face, at least one active layer that generates electromagnetic radiation and emits the radiation at the carrier front face, the active layer being mounted on the carrier substrate, a reflective layer located on a side of the active layer remote from the carrier substrate, at least one contacting device on the carrier rear face that electrically contacts and simultaneously mechanically attaches the organic light-emitting diode, the contacting device comprising a contact region and, seen in a side view parallel to the carrier rear face, is elevated in a U-shape or L-shape above the carrier rear face and/or extends in a lateral direction away from the active layer; wherein the connector comprises: at least one clamping device that clamps the contact region of the contacting device of the organic light-emitting diode, and at least one cable connection region that mounts an electrically conductive cable on the connector; wherein: the light-emitting diode is electrically contacted and mechanically attached only by the connectors, the connectors are not visible in plan view onto the carrier front face, the contacting device, seen in plan view onto the carrier front face, is entirely covered by the carrier substrate and is not visible from the carrier front face, and the contacting device, at least in some locations seen from the carrier rear face, covers the active layer so that the active layer is located in some locations between the contacting device and the carrier substrate.
