Publication number: 20150241043Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: August 27, 2015Inventors: Joerg Farrnbacher, Stefan Gschloessl, Christoph Gaerditz, Christian Kristukat

Publication number: 20080188156Abstract: Structuring electroluminescent organic semiconductor elements can be achieved by providing such an element with a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer arranged therebetween. For structuring, areas of the organic layer are selectively destroyed by means of thermal action on the organic layer. The areas destroyed by the thermal action, such as by a laser beam, show no electroluminescence during the operation of the organic semiconductor element. A structuring can thus also be achieved on large-area semiconductor elements in a flexible manner and at low cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2008Publication date: August 7, 2008Inventors: Dirk Buchhauser, Christoph Gaerditz, Karsten Heuser, Wiebke Sarfert, Carsten Tschamber, Oliver Weiss
