Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic component having an outer surface facing an environment of the optoelectronic component and the outer surface is formed by a hydrophobic layer applied at least partly on a surface of a thin film encapsulation layer of the optoelectronic component, wherein hydrophobic material of the hydrophobic layer forms the outermost surface of the optoelectronic component, the hydrophobic material of the hydrophobic layer comprises at least partly perfluorinated carbon atoms, the outermost surface and the hydrophobic material of the hydrophobic layer contact the environment, and the hydrophobic layer comprises a self-assembled monomolecular layer comprising hydrophobic functional groups facing away from the outermost surface of the optoelectronic component and being in contact with the environment which includes gases and/or liquids, and individual molecules of the hydrophobic layer have a hydrophilic or polar group via which the individual molecules of the hydrophobic layer are covalently bonded to the surface of thin film encapsulation layer of the optoelectronic component.
