Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optoelectronic component is provided with a carrier; a zinc oxide layer arranged on the carrier and having the first and second regions, wherein the first region is a first electrode structure which is doped with aluminum so that the first region is transparent and electrically conductive; an organic optically functional layer structure arranged at least partially over the first electrode structure; and a second electrode structure arranged at least partially over the organic optically functional layer structure. The first and second electrode structures electrically contact the organic optically functional layer structure. The zinc oxide layer has a lower doping in the second region than the first electrode structure. The zinc oxide layer is configured in the second region as a varistor layer structure, which is arranged between the first and second electrode structures and contacts the two electrode structures. The varistor layer structure adjoins the optically transparent first region.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An optoelectronic component, comprising: a carrier; a zinc oxide layer, which is arranged on the carrier and has a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is a first electrode structure which is doped with aluminum in such a way that the first region is transparent and electrically conductive, and wherein the zinc oxide layer has a lower doping of aluminum in the second region than in the first electrode structure; an organic optically functional layer structure, which is arranged at least partially over the first electrode structure; a second electrode structure, which is arranged at least partially over the organic optically functional layer structure, the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure electrically contacting the organic optically functional layer structure; and wherein the zinc oxide layer is configured in the second region as a varistor layer structure, which is arranged between the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure and physically contacts the two electrode structures, and wherein the varistor layer structure laterally physically contacts and adjoins the optically transparent first region; further comprising: a heat conduction layer which is in direct contact with the varistor layer structure; and wherein the zinc oxide is polycrystalline. 2. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the varistor layer structure is configured as an encapsulation layer, which is arranged at least partially over the second electrode structure and/or over the organic optically functional layer structure. 3. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the varistor layer structure is arranged at least partially between the second electrode structure and the carrier, or between the organic optically functional layer structure and the carrier. 4. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the varistor layer structure is essentially free from aluminum doping.
