The invention relates to an organic lighting component, in particular an organic light-emitting
diode, comprising a lighting element (1; 2) and a luminous surface (1f, 2f) encompassed by the lighting element (1; 2), the luminous surface being formed by an
electrode (1a; 2a), a counterelectrode (1d; 2d), and an
organic layer system (1e; 2e) which is situated between the
electrode (1a; 2a) and the counterelectrode (1d; 2d) and is in electrical contact with the
electrode (1a; 2a) and the counterelectrode (1d; 2d), wherein sections of the
organic layer system (1e; 2e) which are located in the region of the luminous surface (1f; 2f) and which emit light upon application of an electrical
voltage to the electrode (1a; 2a) and the counterelectrode (1d; 2d) have a uniform organic
material structure and are provided on multiple partial electrodes (1b; 2b) of the electrode (1a; 2a) electrically connected in parallel, on one side the multiple partial electrodes being electrically connected to one another at their ends, and in which a lateral distance between adjacent partial electrodes (1b; 2b) is smaller than the width of the adjacent partial electrodes (1b; 2b).
