  • Patent number: 9735363
    Abstract: In a method for imprinting optoelectronic components with at least one bus bar, the bus bar following the shape of the optoelectronic component and allowing a homogeneous color impression on the rear face of the component, the bus bar is printed on a basic material before deposition of a photoactive layer. The basic material may comprise a substrate, or an electrically conductive transparent layer on a substrate. Subsequently, a conductive layer on the substrate is structured to form isolated regions, the photoactive layer is deposited and structured, and then a counter electrode is applied and structured.
