Abstract:
1. An organic opto-electric device, comprising: a layer stack comprising a base electrode, an organic layer assembly, a cover electrode, an insulation layer and a contact layer, wherein the organic layer assembly is arranged between the base electrode and the cover electrode and the cover electrode is arranged between the organic layer assembly and the contact layer, the cover electrode and the base electrode are structured to form several optically active areas, which are adjacent to each other in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to major planar surfaces of the layer stack, and the base electrode, the organic layer assembly, the cover electrode and the contact layer are interconnected by vias, at least a first and a second optically active area are connected in series such that a current flow within each of the at least the first and second optically active areas is directed in a direction extending between the base electrode and the cover electrode, the contact layer contacts the cover electrode in the first optically active area, the contact layer contacts the base electrode through one of the vias extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the major planar surfaces of the layer stack in an interior of the second optically active area, so that the current flow passes between the at least two optically active areas through the contact layer, the insulation layer is partially arranged between the contact layer and the cover electrode, so that within the second optically active area the respective contact layer is electrically insulated from the respective cover electrode, and the insulation layer protects the organic layer assembly in the direction parallel or substantially parallel to the major planar surfaces of the layer stack.
