  • Patent number: 9520575
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting component has an active layer for emitting electromagnetic radiation. It also has an anode and an organic charge transport layer, arranged between the active layer and the anode, for transporting charge carriers from the anode to the active layer. The anode can be used to decouple electromagnetic radiation emitted by the active layer from the organic light-emitting component. The organic charge transport layer comprises a copper complex which has at least one ligand with the chemical structure as per a formula I.

  • Publication number: 20150241043
    Abstract: A light-emitting element may include at least one flat light emitter, and a housing. The flat light emitter is arranged in the housing in such a way that the housing surrounds a side surface of the flat light emitter partially. The flat light emitter is held in the housing by the side face of the light emitter, and electrical contact is formed therebetween. In order to form the electrical contact, a conductive surface element is arranged on the side surface of the light emitter and a conductive mating surface element is arranged on an inner surface of the housing, which inner surface points towards the side surface. The conductive surface element is guided over an edge region of the flat light emitter from an upper and/or lower side of an element of the flat light emitter to the side surface of the flat light emitter.
