Patent ID: 8741669

Claim:
A method for producing an organic light emitting illuminant, comprising the steps of providing a substrate forming a bottom electrode layer above the substrate, forming at least one organic light emitting layer in strip-type fashion above at least one part of the bottom electrode layer, forming a top electrode layer in strip-type fashion above at least one part of the at least one organic light emitting layer; and forming a conductor track layer in strip-type fashion, wherein the at least one organic light emitting layer, the top electrode layer and the conductor track layer are formed in strip-type fashion by coating in an inline vacuum coating installation with respective stationary shadow masks at successive coating stations as the substrate is guided past the masks in a transport direction, without stopping the substrate in front of the coating stations, wherein each respective stationary shadow mask is provided with a strip-type opening extending in the substrate transport direction such that each layer formed in strip-type fashion is formed by dynamic coating as the substrate is guided past the respective stationary shadow mask, such that at least one region of the bottom electrode layer remains uncoated after the at least one organic light emitting layer, the top electrode layer and the conductor track layer have been formed.
