  • Patent number: 9735397
    Abstract: A process of producing a radiation-emitting organic-electronic device having a first and a second electrode layer and an emitter layer includes: A) providing a phosphorescent emitter with an anisotropic molecule structure and a matrix material, B) applying the first electrode layer to a substrate, C) applying the emitter layer under thermodynamic control, with vaporization of the phosphorescent emitter and of the matrix material under reduced pressure and deposition thereof on the first electrode layer such that molecules of the phosphorescent emitter are in anisotropic alignment, and D) applying the second electrode layer on the emitter layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8618729
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment of the organic light-emitting diode (10), the latter comprises a first electrode (1), which is formed with a metal, and a second electrode (2). In addition, the organic light-emitting diode (10) contains an organic layer sequence (3) located between the first electrode (1) and the second electrode (2). Moreover, the organic light-emitting diode (10) comprises a radiation-transmissive index layer (4), which is located on an outer side (11) of the first electrode (1) remote from the organic layer sequence (3). The average refractive index of the index layer (4) is greater than or equal to the average refractive index of the organic layer sequence (3). At least some of the electromagnetic plasmon radiation (P) generated by the organic light-emitting diode (10) passes through the index layer (4).
