Patent ID: 8604467

Claim:
An organic electro-optical component comprising an electrode, a counter electrode, an active region, and an organic region comprising one or a plurality of organic materials, wherein the organic region is in electrical contact with the electrode and the counter electrode, and the organic region is arranged at least partly in the active region, which comprises the areas in which the electrode and counter electrode overlap, wherein the electrode or the counter electrode comprises one or more part electrodes which extend from a part electrode connecting section arranged outside of the active region, the one or more part electrodes comprise one or more distal electrode sections that are electrically connected via one or more proximal electrode sections to the part electrode connecting section, at least part of the one or more distal electrode sections is arranged within the active region, and the one or more proximal electrode sections are arranged outside of the active region, and comprise an electrical pathway, wherein the length of the electrical pathway is larger than the shortest distance between an end of the distal electrode section adjacent to the one or more proximal electrode sections the part electrode connecting section.
