  • Publication number: 20170324007
    Abstract: An optoelectronic apparatus is disclosed. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes at least one wavelength conversion region which includes at least one dual emitter as wavelength conversion material, wherein the wavelength conversion region converts primary radiation at least in part into secondary radiation, and wherein the dual emitter includes a first electronic base state and a second electronic base state, together with a first electronically excited state and a second electronically excited state which may be reached from the first electronically excited state. The dual emitter further includes emission proceeding from the second electronically excited state into the second base state.

  • Patent number: 9755173
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component is provided. The optoelectronic component includes an electromagnetic radiation source including an optically active region designed for emitting a first electromagnetic radiation, and a converter structure, which includes at least one converter material and is arranged in the beam path of the first electromagnetic radiation. The at least one converter material is designed to convert at least one portion of the first electromagnetic radiation into at least one second electromagnetic radiation. The at least one second electromagnetic radiation has at least one different wavelength than the at least one portion of the first electromagnetic radiation. The converter structure is formed in a structured fashion in such a way that the converter structure has a predefined region, such that the at least one second electromagnetic radiation is emittable only from the predefined region. The predefined region has a smaller area than the optically active region.

  • Publication number: 20170229669
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode (1000) with an organic layer sequence (100). The organic layer sequence (100) comprises a first organic emitter layer (1) for generating electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength range (10) and a second organic emitter layer (2) for generating electromagnetic radiation of a second wavelength range (20). A charge carrier generation layer sequence (33), CGL for short, is arranged between the first (1) and the second (2) emitter layer, and the first emitter layer (1) and the second emitter layer (2) are electrically connected in series via said CGL. The CGL (33) additionally has a converter material which converts the radiation of the first (10) and/or the second (20) wavelength range at least partially into radiation of a third wavelength range (30). In this manner, the organic light-emitting diode (1000) can emit mixed light with components of the first (10), second (20), and third (30) wavelength range.

  • Publication number: 20170125695
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic optoelectronic apparatus comprising: a first electrode (2), a radiation-emitting region (4) arranged between the first and second electrodes, and a second electrode (9), wherein the first and second electrodes can inject charge carriers of different polarity into the radiation-emitting region, wherein the radiation-emitting region (4) has a dual emitter and a further emitter, wherein the further emitter is transferred by the charge carrier into an electronically excited state and, on the transition into the basic electronic state from this electronically excited state, emits radiation, and wherein the dual emitter has a first electronically excited state and a second electronically excited state, which can be reached from the first electronically excited state by intramolecular proton transfer or intramolecular charge transfer, and the dual emitter has an emission starting from the second electronically excited state into a second basic state.
