Patent ID: 8314541

Claim:
A radiation-emitting arrangement, comprising: a carrier element having an at least partly non-transparent main surface; and an organic radiation-emitting component arranged on the carrier element, the organic radiation-emitting component having an organic layer sequence with an active region between an at least partly transparent first electrode and an at least partly transparent second electrode; wherein the active region is configured to generate electromagnetic radiation in a switched-on operating state; wherein the radiation-emitting arrangement has a radiation exit area for emitting the electromagnetic radiation on that side of the organic radiation-emitting component which faces away from the carrier element; wherein the at least partly non-transparent main surface of the carrier element is perceptible by an external observer through the radiation exit area in a switched-off operating state of the organic radiation-emitting component; wherein the organic radiation-emitting component has an emission characteristic of the electromagnetic radiation generated in the active region with a first intensity in a direction of the carrier element and a second intensity in a direction of the radiation exit area; wherein the second intensity is greater than the first intensity; wherein the first electrode is arranged on that side of the organic layer sequence which faces the carrier element; wherein the first electrode has a lower transmittivity than the second electrode; wherein the at least partly non-transparent main surface of the carrier element is imperceptible to the external observer through the radiation exit area in the switched-on operating state; and wherein one of the first and the second electrodes is an anode and the other is a cathode.
