Patent ID: 8618729

Claim:
An organic light-emitting diode comprising: a metallic first electrode, which consists of silver, aluminum, barium, magnesium, calcium, lithium, and/or gold, and a second electrode; an organic layer sequence having at least one active layer, the organic layer sequence being located between the first electrode and the second electrode; a radiation-transmissive index layer, which is located directly on an outer side of the first electrode remote from the organic layer sequence; and a front and a back, the back facing the index layer and the front facing the organic layer sequence and radiation generated in the light-emitting diode being emitted at the front and/or at the back, wherein at least some of an electromagnetic plasmon radiation generated by the organic light-emitting diode passes through the index layer, wherein an average refractive index of the index layer amounts to at least 1.2 times an average refractive index layer of the organic layer sequence, and wherein the index layer is a single layer.
