Abstract

The invention relates to a device with at least two organic electronic components that comprise at least one organic functional layer, as well as to a method for producing the same. Unlike conventional devices, the inventive device comprises at least two components from organic material and is therefore substantially less expensive and less complicated to produce than known devices that require a combination of organic with conventional electronic components. The inventive device completely eliminates, under certain circumstances, the need for conventional silicon semiconductor technology.

Claims

1. Device with at least two electronic organic components, with each of the two components comprising at least one organic functional layer and having a direct or indirect functional connection.

2. Device according to claim 1, in which the components are applied to a substrate.

3. Device according to one of claims 1 or 2, in which the substrate is a flexible substrate.

4. Device according to one of the preceding claims, in which the components are encapsulated.

5. Device according to one of the preceding claims, in which the functional connection is achieved by means of circuit board conductors with organic electronics systems.

6. Method for producing a device with at least two electronic organic components, with the electronic organic components being such that they can be produced by printing, spraying, coating, embossing and/or applying with a doctor blade, imprinting, heating and/or irradiating a substrate.

7. Method according to claim 6, in which production takes place in a continuous process.

8. Method according to one of claims 6 or 7, in which production is large-scale.
