Description

[0001] In various embodiments, an optoelectronic component device, a method for manufacturing an optoelectronic component device, and a method for operating an optoelectronic component device are provided.

[0002] Organic-based optoelectronic components, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), are increasingly being used in general lighting, for example as area light sources. All operating parameters of the luminaire are fixed by the upstream drivers. This means that the user of such a luminaire only has the options "on" and "off," for example, using an analog switch. Upstream dimmers are also known, for example in the form of a rotary knob instead of a switch, or an additional rotary knob between the socket and the luminaire, with the rotary knob often located near the floor. Controlling a luminaire using a remote control is also common.

[0003] OLED displays are also known in tablets or smartphones, for example, which are operated by touching with fingers or with electrically conductive pens (touchscreen displays). OLED displays conventionally have an input element and a pixel area. The pixel area has a plurality of pixels, each with an optically active area. In each optically active area, an opaque electrode, a transparent electrode, and an organically functional layer system are formed between them. The organically functional layer system has one or more emitter layers in which visible light is generated. Each pixel can, in principle, emit any color (RGB) or mixed colors, for example, yellow, white, or similar. The emission from the optically active area of ​​a pixel is varied by the respective operating current, so that a predetermined image is displayed on the OLED display.In an OLED display with touchscreen function, a display glass and a touchscreen glass are conventionally applied as input elements above the transparent electrode.

[0004] The documents WO 2011 / 128 116 A2, CN 103426371 A, US 2014 / 0021463 A1 and US 2015 / 0125977 A1 describe an OLED.

[0005] In various embodiments, an optoelectronic component device, a method for producing an optoelectronic component device and a method for operating an optoelectronic component device are provided, with which it is possible to change at least one property of the light emitted by a general lighting device via its optically active region.

[0006] In various embodiments, an optoelectronic component device is provided.

[0007] The optoelectronic component device comprises: at least a first organic luminous means and a second organic luminous means with an optically active structure configured to emit light, a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure; and a control device coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic luminous means, wherein the control device is configured to control the organic luminous means depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light is changed.

[0008] This makes it possible to change the lighting scenario or radiation behavior of a lamp directly via the luminous surface of the lamp using a multi-finger gesture.

[0009] In various embodiments, the multi-finger gesture recognition device comprises a device on the organic light source. Alternatively, the organic light source is a part of, or comprises a part of, the multi-finger gesture recognition device, for example, monolithically integrated. Alternatively, the multi-finger gesture recognition device comprises a camera or a microphone. The recognition of the predetermined multi-finger gesture within the region of the optically active structure is therefore to be understood such that, in a top view of the optically active structure, the multi-finger gesture is executed or performed within the planar region of the optically active structure of an organic light source.

[0010] This means that a multi-finger gesture can already be recognized within a region of the optically active structure of a single optoelectronic component. This is possible because the organic light source is flat or large-area, allowing input, such as a fingertip, to be detected on the base area of ​​the light source. In other words, an organic light source is larger than the average diameter of a fingertip. In contrast, with a touchscreen display, an input is detected across the areas of the optically active structures of several pixels. This means that, in contrast to a touchscreen display, a multi-finger gesture can already be recognized with an organic light source. A multi-finger gesture can also be referred to as multi-touch.

[0011] In various embodiments, direct control of a luminaire by touching the luminaire is thus enabled, which, for example, enables variable color control and / or dimming of the emitted light. By combining the special properties of an organic luminaire, such as an organic light-emitting diode, with a multi-finger gesture recognition device using a touch foil, the special properties of the organic luminaire, such as its low thickness and mechanical flexibility, can be retained. For example, a thin and mechanically bendable luminaire can be realized in which at least one property of the emitted light can be changed directly via the luminous surface.

[0012] In other words, it enables intuitive control of lighting in everyday life. The unique selling points of OLEDs, such as their thinness and the provision of "pure light" without a socket, base, or the like, are not compromised. Furthermore, the brightness and / or color of the emitted light can be adjusted directly on a freely selectable area of ​​the organic light source's luminous surface. No additional device, such as a smartphone, is required, nor does it require walking to the light switch or kneeling on the floor to adjust the dimmer.

[0013] In various embodiments, the optoelectronic component device is a general lighting device.

[0014] In various embodiments, the organic luminous means and the multi-finger gesture recognition device are configured such that the predetermined multi-finger gesture is recognized exclusively in a region of the optically active structure.

[0015] In various embodiments, the changed property of the emittable light is at least one of the following properties: brightness, contrast, color location and / or saturation.

[0016] In various embodiments, the control device and the multi-finger gesture recognition device are designed such that the at least one organic luminous means can be switched on and / or off by means of the recognized multi-finger gesture.

[0017] In various embodiments, the control device and the multi-finger gesture recognition device are designed such that the light of the organic luminous means is dimmable.

[0018] In various embodiments, the multi-finger gesture recognition device comprises a detection device and an evaluation device that are coupled to one another. The detection device is configured to detect an input within the region of the optically active structure. The evaluation device is configured to evaluate the input and recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture.

[0019] In various embodiments, the detection device is arranged in the beam path of the at least one organic luminous means.

[0020] The detection device is designed, for example, as a touch foil that can detect touches. The evaluation device can be designed, for example, as a processor or a processor structure, for example, a microprocessor. The control device can be designed, for example, as a driver or a control unit.

[0021] In various embodiments, the organic luminous means is designed as a detection device or has such a device.

[0022] In other words, in various embodiments, the organic luminous means is used directly as a sensing device of the multi-finger gesture recognition device, for example as a capacitive sensing device.

[0023] The organic light source can, for example, be designed as a capacitive touch switch.

[0024] The optoelectronic component device comprises at least a first organic luminous source and a second organic luminous source. The first organic luminous source and the second organic luminous source are coupled to a single control device and / or a single multi-finger gesture recognition device.

[0025] In other words, the at least one organic light source can comprise at least a first organic light source and a second organic light source. The first and second organic light sources can, for example, be segments or sections of an organic light source. Using segmented organic light sources, for example, the use of complex control mechanisms for controlling the multiple segments can be eliminated, so that, unlike other light sources that are controlled via motion, no additional sensors are required.

[0026] A plurality of organic light sources can clearly be controlled by means of a single switch, for example by coupling a first organic light source to a multi-finger gesture recognition device and further second organic light sources being free of multi-finger gesture recognition devices, i.e. by not being coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device of the first organic light source. The control of the second organic light sources can, for example, be coupled to the control device of the first organic light source or be identical to this. As a result, by means of an input via the first organic light source, at least one property of the light that can be emitted by the second organic light sources can be changed in a manner analogous to or simultaneous to the change in the light of the first organic light source.In other words, the optoelectronic component device can be designed such that the control of two or more organic light sources can be changed by means of a gesture input to one of the light sources. This allows every second organic light source to be designed without additional detection devices, such as touch foils or cameras.

[0027] A segmented organic light source, in which two or more organic light sources each have a multi-finger gesture recognition device, allows touching different organic light sources to produce different effects, such as brighter / darker, red-blue shift, or correlated color temperature (CCT) shift.

[0028] The multi-finger gesture recognition device and the control device are configured such that a first property of the light from the first organic luminous source and the light from the second organic luminous source can be changed if a predefined first multi-finger gesture is detected within a region of the optically active structure of the first organic luminous source, and a second property of the light from the first organic luminous source and the light from the second organic luminous source can be changed if a predefined second multi-finger gesture is detected within a region of the optically active structure of the second organic luminous source. The first property and the second property are different.

[0029] The first multi-finger gesture and the second multi-finger gesture can be the same or different.

[0030] For example, in the region of the optically active structure of the first organic luminous means, the brightness of the first and second luminous means can be changed and in the region of the optically active structure of the second organic luminous means, the color of the first and second luminous means can be changed.

[0031] In various embodiments, a method for producing an optoelectronic component device is provided. The method comprises: providing at least one organic light-emitting device with an optically active structure configured to emit light; forming a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure; and forming a control device coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic light-emitting device. The control device is configured to control the organic light-emitting device depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light is changed.

[0032] In various embodiments, a method for operating an optoelectronic component device is provided. The optoelectronic component device comprises: at least one organic light-emitting device with an optically active structure configured to emit light; a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure; and a control device coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic light-emitting device, wherein the control device is configured to control the organic light-emitting device depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light is changed.

[0033] The method comprises: detecting and evaluating an input in the multi-finger gesture recognition device such that at least one predefined multi-finger gesture is recognizable if the input substantially corresponds to a predefined multi-finger gesture; and changing the control of the at least one organic illuminant depending on the recognized multi-finger gesture if a predefined multi-finger gesture is recognized, such that at least one property of the light emitted by the at least one organic illuminant is changed.

[0034] Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the figures and are explained in more detail below.

[0035] It shows Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an optoelectronic component device according to various embodiments; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of an organic luminous means according to various embodiments; Fig. 3A-C show schematic representations of an optoelectronic component device in operation according to various embodiments; Fig. 4 shows a flow diagram of a method for producing an optoelectronic component device according to various embodiments; and Fig. 5 a flowchart of a method for operating an optoelectronic component device according to various embodiments.

[0036] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terminology such as "top," "bottom," "front," "back," "fore," "rear," etc., will be used with reference to the orientation of the described figure(s). Since components of embodiments can be positioned in a number of different orientations, the directional terminology is for purposes of illustration and is in no way limiting. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.It is understood that the features of the various exemplary embodiments described herein may be combined with one another unless specifically stated otherwise. The following detailed description is therefore not to be construed in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

[0037] Throughout this description, the terms "connected," "attached," and "coupled" are used to describe both a direct and an indirect connection, a direct or indirect connection, and a direct or indirect coupling. In the figures, identical or similar elements are provided with identical reference numerals where appropriate.

[0038] For the purposes of this description, an organic light-emitting device is a replaceable component that generates light from electrical energy. An organic light-emitting device, such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), comprises a first electrode, for example, as an anode, and a second electrode, for example, as a cathode, with an organic functional layer system in between.The organic functional layer system can have one or more emitter layers in which electromagnetic radiation is generated, one or more charge generating layer structures each comprising two or more charge generating layers (CGLs) for charge pair generation, as well as one or more electron blocking layers, also referred to as hole transport layers (HTLs), and one or more hole blocking layers, also referred to as electron transport layers (ETLs), to direct the current flow. The luminance and light color of an organic light source is limited, among other things, by the maximum current density that can flow through the diode and the electroluminescent material of the emitter layer(s). To increase the luminance of an OLED, one or more OLEDs are stacked on top of one another.

[0039] In various embodiments, an organic light source is designed to be flat. A flat organic light source having two flat, optically active sides can be transparent or translucent in the connecting direction of the optically active sides, for example, as a transparent or translucent organic light-emitting diode. A flat organic light source can also be referred to as a planar organic light source.

[0040] However, the optically active region can also have a flat, optically active side and a flat, optically inactive side, for example, an organic light-emitting diode configured as a so-called top emitter or bottom emitter. In various embodiments, the optically inactive side can be transparent or translucent, or provided with a mirror structure and / or an opaque material or mixture of materials, for example, for heat distribution. The beam path of the organic light-emitting device can, for example, be directed in one direction.

[0041] The first electrode, the second electrode, and the organic functional layer structure of an organic luminous device can each be designed to have a large area. This allows the organic luminous device to have a continuous luminous surface that is not structured into functional sub-regions, for example a luminous surface segmented into functional regions or a luminous surface formed by a large number of image points (pixels). This can enable large-area emission of electromagnetic radiation from the organic luminous device. “Large-area” can mean that the optically active side has an area, for example a continuous area, for example of greater than or equal to a few square millimeters, for example of greater than or equal to one square centimeter, for example of greater than or equal to one square decimeter.For example, the organic luminous element may have only a single continuous luminous surface, which is caused by the large-area and continuous formation of the electrodes and the organic functional layer structure.

[0042] Within the scope of this description, the organic luminous means can be designed to be elastic in a planar manner, which can be reversibly bent and develops a restoring force that is opposite to the direction of the bending force.

[0043] The term "translucent" or "translucent layer" can be understood in various embodiments to mean that a layer is permeable to light, for example to the light generated by the light-emitting component, for example to one or more wavelength ranges, for example to light in a wavelength range of visible light (for example, at least in a sub-range of the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm). For example, the term "translucent layer" in various embodiments is to be understood to mean that essentially the entire amount of light coupled into a structure (for example, a layer) is also coupled out of the structure (for example, layer), whereby a portion of the light can be scattered in the process.

[0044] The term "transparent" or "transparent layer" can be understood in various embodiments to mean that a layer is permeable to light (for example, at least in a sub-range of the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm), whereby light coupled into a structure (for example, a layer) is also coupled out of the structure (for example, layer) essentially without scattering or light conversion. Thus, in various embodiments, "transparent" is to be regarded as a special case of "translucent."

[0045] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an optoelectronic component device 100 according to various embodiments. The optoelectronic component device 100 comprises an organic luminous element 1, a multi-finger gesture recognition device, and a control device 150.

[0046] The optoelectronic component device 100 is, for example, a general lighting device, for example in the form of a ceiling, floor or table lamp.

[0047] In various embodiments, the multi-finger gesture recognition device comprises a detection device 110 and an evaluation device 130, wherein the detection device 110 is coupled to the evaluation device 130 (in Fig. 1 by means of the arrow 120). The evaluation device 130 is also coupled to the control device 150 (in Fig. 1 illustrated by the arrow 140).

[0048] The organic luminous means 1 has an optically active region which, during operation, converts electrical energy into light. The light is emitted from the optically active region of the organic luminous means at least in one direction into the environment external to the component device (in Fig. 1 by means of the arrow 180). The electrical energy, ie the operating current and the operating voltage, is supplied to the organic luminous means 1 by the control device 150 (in Fig. 1 illustrated by the arrow 160).

[0049] The organic luminous means is designed in various embodiments as a hermetically sealed component. Various embodiments of the organic luminous means 1 are shown in Fig. 2 described

[0050] In various embodiments, the detection device 110 is arranged in the beam path of the at least one organic illuminant 1 or of the emittable light 180, for example on or above the organic illuminant 1.

[0051] Alternatively or additionally, the organic luminous element 1 is designed as or has a detection device 110. In other words, the organic luminous element 1 can be used in the optoelectronic component device as a pure luminous element, without an additional detection device on the surface of the organic luminous element. This allows the appearance of the organic luminous element to be retained.

[0052] Alternatively or additionally, the detection device 110 is based on one of the following methods: a resistive system, a surface capacitive system, a projected capacitive system, an inductive system, a system based on surface acoustic waves (SAW), i.e., a "(sound) wave-controlled system"; an optical system with a "light barrier"; a system based on dispersive light intensity technology; a hybrid technology with infrared sensors.

[0053] The detection device 110 has, for example, a plurality of capacitive and / or optical detectors that can detect a shadowing or contact of the surface of the optically active area as an input signal 170 (in Fig. 1 by means of arrow 170). The plurality of detectors is, for example, arranged substantially in a region above or distributed within the optically active structure of the organic luminous means 1. In other words, the detection device 110 is configured to detect an input 170 within the region of the optically active structure.

[0054] The detection device 110 transmits 120 the detected input 170 to the evaluation device 130.

[0055] The evaluation device 130 evaluates the detected input 170 and can recognize it, for example, as a predetermined multi-finger gesture, see also, for example, Fig. 3. In other words: the evaluation device 130 is configured to evaluate the input 170 and recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture, for example as a microprocessor.

[0056] Depending on the detected and evaluated input 170, a predetermined output signal 140 is transmitted to the control device 150. The control device 150 can then change the control 160 of the organic luminous means, for example, change the operating voltage and / or the operating current, and thereby change at least one property of the emittable light 180, for example, change the brightness or the color location of the emitted light. In other words, by means of the optoelectronic component device, at least one property of the emittable light 180 can be changed essentially directly in the optically active structure of the organic luminous means, thereby simplifying the manner of its control.

[0057] The changed property of the emittable light 170 is, for example, at least the brightness, the contrast, the color coordinate, and / or the saturation of the emittable light. Alternatively or additionally, the control device 150 and the multi-finger gesture recognition device are configured such that the at least one organic illuminant 1 can be switched on and / or off using the recognized multi-finger gesture. Alternatively or additionally, the control device 150 and the multi-finger gesture recognition device are configured such that the light 180 of the organic illuminant 1 is dimmable.

[0058] For example, in various embodiments, the control device 150 is configured to control the electrical voltage profile of the organic luminous element 1, for example, as a phase dimmer, a pulse modulator, or a frequency modulator. The phase dimmer can be configured for phase-cut control or phase-cut control of the electrical potential. The pulse modulator can be configured for pulse-width modulation or pulse-amplitude modulation of the electrical potential. The frequency modulator can be configured to change the frequency of an alternating current, for example, for an impedance measurement.

[0059] In various embodiments, the at least one organic luminous source comprises two or more organic luminous sources. In other words, the optoelectronic component device can comprise at least a first organic luminous source 1 and a second organic luminous source. The first organic luminous source 1 and the second organic luminous source are coupled, for example, to a single control device 150 and / or a single multi-finger gesture recognition device.

[0060] In various embodiments, the first organic illuminant is arranged above and in the beam path of the second organic illuminant, i.e., at least partially stacked. Alternatively or additionally, the first organic illuminant is arranged next to the second organic illuminant.

[0061] In various embodiments, the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the control device 150 can be configured such that a first property of the light from the first organic luminous source 1 and the light from the second organic luminous source 1 can be changed if a predefined first multi-finger gesture is detected within a region of the optically active structure of the first organic luminous source 1. A second property of the light from the first organic luminous source 1 and the light from the second organic luminous source 1 can also be changed if a predefined second multi-finger gesture is detected within a region of the optically active structure 40 of the second organic luminous source 1. The first property and the second property can be different, for example, the brightness and color of the emitted light.

[0062] In other words, the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the control device can be configured such that the control device changes the control of the first organic luminous means and / or the second organic luminous means depending on a recognized predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region above the optically active structure of the first organic luminous means and / or within a region above the optically active structure of the second organic luminous means.

[0063] In various embodiments, the optoelectronic component device is designed such that individual organic lighting means of the optoelectronic component device can be switched on and off separately, ie independently of the others, for example by means of a swiping movement or touching an individual organic lighting means, for example a one-finger gesture.

[0064] Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of an organic luminous means 1 according to various embodiments, which may substantially correspond to one of the embodiments presented above.

[0065] The organic luminous element 1 has a carrier 12. The carrier 12 can be translucent or transparent. The carrier 12 serves as a carrier element for electronic elements or layers, for example, light-emitting elements. The carrier 12 can, for example, comprise or be formed from plastic, metal, glass, quartz, and / or a semiconductor material. Furthermore, the carrier 12 can comprise or be formed from a plastic film or a laminate with one or more plastic films. The carrier 12 can be mechanically rigid or mechanically flexible.

[0066] An organic layer structure is formed on the carrier 12. The organic layer structure has a first electrode layer 14, which has a first contact section 16, a second contact section 18, and a first electrode 20. The carrier 12 with the first electrode layer 14 can also be referred to as a substrate. A first barrier layer (not shown), for example, a first barrier thin film, can be formed between the carrier 12 and the first electrode layer 14.

[0067] The first electrode 20 is electrically insulated from the first contact section 16 by means of an electrical insulation barrier 21. The second contact section 18 is electrically coupled to the first electrode 20 of the organic layer structure. The first electrode 20 can be configured as an anode or as a cathode. The first electrode 20 can be translucent or transparent. The first electrode 20 comprises an electrically conductive material, for example, metal and / or a conductive transparent oxide (TCO) or a layer stack of multiple layers comprising metals or TCOs. The first electrode 20 can, for example, comprise a layer stack of a combination of a layer of a metal on a layer of a TCO, or vice versa. One example is a silver layer applied to an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer (Ag on ITO) or ITO-Ag-ITO multilayers.The first electrode 20 may alternatively or additionally comprise, to the materials mentioned, networks of metallic nanowires and nanoparticles, for example of Ag, networks of carbon nanotubes, graphene particles and layers and / or networks of semiconducting nanowires.

[0068] An optically functional layer structure, for example an organic functional layer structure 22, of the organic layer structure is formed above the first electrode 20. The organic functional layer structure 22 can, for example, have one, two, or more sublayers. For example, the organic functional layer structure 22 can have a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emitter layer, an electron transport layer, and / or an electron injection layer. The hole injection layer serves to reduce the band gap between the first electrode and the hole transport layer. In the hole transport layer, the hole conductivity is greater than the electron conductivity. The hole transport layer serves to transport the holes. In the electron transport layer, the electron conductivity is greater than the hole conductivity. The electron transport layer serves to transport the electrons.The electron injection layer serves to reduce the band gap between the second electrode and the electron transport layer. Furthermore, the organic functional layer structure 22 can comprise one, two, or more functional layer structure units, each of which has the aforementioned sublayers and / or further intermediate layers.

[0069] A second electrode 23 of the organic layer structure is formed above the organic functional layer structure 22 and is electrically coupled to the first contact section 16. The second electrode 23 can be formed according to one of the configurations of the first electrode 20, wherein the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 23 can be formed identically or differently. The first electrode 20 serves, for example, as the anode or cathode of the organic layer structure. The second electrode 23 serves, corresponding to the first electrode, as the cathode or anode of the organic layer structure.

[0070] The organic layer structure is an electrically and / or optically active structure 40. The active structure 40 is, for example, the region of the organic luminous device 1 in which electrical current flows to operate the organic luminous device 1 and / or in which electromagnetic radiation is generated or absorbed. A getter structure (not shown) can be arranged on or above the active region. The getter layer can be translucent, transparent, or opaque. The getter layer can comprise or be formed from a material that absorbs and binds substances that are harmful to the active region.

[0071] An encapsulation layer 24 of the organic layer structure is formed above the second electrode 23 and partially above the first contact section 16 and partially above the second contact section 18, which encapsulates the organic layer structure. The encapsulation layer 24 can be formed as a second barrier layer, for example, as a second barrier thin film. The encapsulation layer 24 can also be referred to as thin-film encapsulation. The encapsulation layer 24 forms a barrier against chemical contaminants or atmospheric substances, in particular against water (moisture) and oxygen. The encapsulation layer 24 can be formed as a single layer, a layer stack, or a layer structure.The encapsulation layer 24 can comprise or be formed from: aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, hafnium oxide, tantalum oxide, lanthanum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), nylon 66, and mixtures and alloys thereof. Optionally, the first barrier layer on the carrier 12 can be formed corresponding to a configuration of the encapsulation layer 24.

[0072] A first recess of the encapsulation layer 24 is formed above the first contact section 16, and a second recess of the encapsulation layer 24 is formed above the second contact section 18. A first contact region 32 is exposed in the first recess of the encapsulation layer 24, and a second contact region 34 is exposed in the second recess of the encapsulation layer 24. The first contact region 32 serves to electrically contact the first contact section 16, and the second contact region 34 serves to electrically contact the second contact section 18.

[0073] An adhesive layer 36 is formed above the encapsulation layer 24. The adhesive layer 36 comprises, for example, an adhesive, such as an adhesive, for example a laminating adhesive, a lacquer, and / or a resin. The adhesive layer 36 can, for example, comprise particles that scatter electromagnetic radiation, such as light-scattering particles.

[0074] A cover body 38 is formed over the adhesive layer 36. The adhesive layer 36 serves to attach the cover body 38 to the encapsulation layer 24. The cover body 38 comprises, for example, plastic, glass, and / or metal. For example, the cover body 38 can be formed essentially of glass and have a thin metal layer, for example a metal foil, and / or a graphite layer, for example a graphite laminate, on the glass body. The cover body 38 serves to protect the conventional organic luminous means 1, for example from external mechanical forces. Furthermore, the cover body 38 can serve to distribute and / or dissipate heat generated in the conventional organic luminous means 1.For example, the glass of the cover body 38 can serve as protection against external influences and the metal layer of the cover body 38 can serve to distribute and / or dissipate the heat generated during operation of the conventional organic luminous means 1.

[0075] In other words: In various embodiments, an optoelectronic component device 100 comprises: at least one organic luminous means 1 with an optically active structure 40 configured to emit light 180; a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure 40 (see, for example, Fig. 1); and a control device 150 coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic light source 1 (see, for example, Fig. 1), wherein the control device 150 is configured to control the organic luminous means 1 depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light 170 is changed.

[0076] The organic luminous means 1 and the multi-finger gesture recognition device can be configured such that the predetermined multi-finger gesture is recognized exclusively in one region of the optically active structure 40.

[0077] In various embodiments, the detection device 110 (see Fig. 1) is formed on or above the carrier 12 and / or the cover body 38. Alternatively, the detection device 110 is monolithically integrated into the organic illuminant 1, i.e., arranged encapsulated between the carrier 12 and the cover body 38, for example, by segmenting the organic illuminant 1, for example, the organic functional layer structure 22, the first electrode 20 and / or the second electrode 23. In various exemplary embodiments, a plurality of capacitors are arranged as a detection device, distributed next to one another in the optically active region between the carrier 12 and the cover body 38. An input 170 is made, for example, by slightly depressing the cover body 38, for example by means of a fingertip, whereby the capacitance of at least one capacitor in the depressed region changes, such that the position of the fingertip can be determined by means of the change in the stored energy.

[0078] Fig. 3A-C show schematic representations of an optoelectronic component device in operation according to various embodiments, which may substantially correspond to one of the embodiments presented above. An example of a multi-finger gesture is schematically illustrated, which can be recognized by the multi-finger gesture recognition device and can lead to a change in the control of at least one organic light source.

[0079] In detail, each is shown in schematic plan view in Fig. 3A-C illustrates a section 300 of an optoelectronic component device with the detection device over the optically active region of an organic light source at a first time 310, a second time 320, and a third time 330. The third time 330 follows the second time 320, which follows the first time 310. Alternatively, a reversed temporal sequence of the times 310, 320, and 330 is also possible, for example.

[0080] Also illustrated is an input 302, 304 above the optically active region of the organic luminous means, for example a contact of the sensing device with a first fingertip 302 and a second fingertip 304. Depending on the design of the sensing device 110, another object, for example a pen, or a shadow, ie, for example, without physical contact with the surface of the sensing device, can be used for input as an alternative to the fingertip.

[0081] For example, the fingertips 302, 304 have a first distance 312 at the first time 310, a second distance 322 at the second time 320, and a third distance 332 at the third time 330. The third distance 332 is, for example, greater than the second distance 322, which is greater than the first distance 312.

[0082] The recognizable multi-finger gesture can thus clearly be a temporal movement of the fingertips apart or towards each other over the optically active region of the organic luminous means, for example, similar to a zoom movement on a touch display. After recognizing this multi-finger gesture, the control device can, for example, increase or reduce the operating current, so that the brightness of the light emitted by the organic luminous means is increased or reduced, respectively. In other words: in various embodiments, the optoelectronic component device is designed such that the organic luminous means can clearly be dimmed via the optically active region or via the optically active surface of the organic luminous means.

[0083] In various embodiments, the multi-finger gesture recognition device is configured to recognize a gesture input by multiple fingers, pens, or the like simultaneously within a region of the optically active structure.

[0084] Alternatively or additionally, the multi-finger gesture recognition device can be configured to recognize a gesture input by at least one finger, stylus, or the like within a period of time within a region of the optically active structure of the at least one organic light source. In other words, in various embodiments, the brightness and / or color of light emitted by an organic light source can be controlled by touch and / or gestures.

[0085] In various embodiments, a multi-finger gesture, such as in Fig. 3A-C, different properties of the emitted light can be changed in different directions. By means of the Fig. For example, the brightness of the emittable light can be changed using the multi-finger gesture illustrated in Figure 3 when the movement is in the horizontal direction (in Fig. 3A-C) is performed, and the color, e.g., the correlated color temperature, of the emittable light is changed when the movement is performed in the vertical direction.

[0086] Furthermore, a multi-finger gesture can be the gesture of one finger within a period of time, for example, from the first time 310 to the third time 330. For example, the duration of the touch, ie, the duration of the uninterrupted input, can change the intensity or color of the emittable light.

[0087] Alternatively or additionally, the gesture can be a pattern, for example a letter drawn with a finger within the area of ​​the optically active structure, for example a “B” for blue light and an “R” for red light.

[0088] Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of a method for producing an optoelectronic component device according to various embodiments, which may substantially correspond to one of the embodiments presented above.

[0089] In various embodiments, a method 400 for producing an optoelectronic component device comprises providing 410 at least one organic light-emitting means with an optically active structure configured to emit light. The method 400 further comprises forming 420 a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure. The method further comprises forming 430 a control device coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic light-emitting means 1. The control device is configured to control the organic light-emitting means depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light is changed.

[0090] Fig.5 shows a flowchart of a method for operating an optoelectronic component device according to various embodiments, which may substantially correspond to one of the embodiments presented above.

[0091] In various embodiments, a method for operating an optoelectronic component device is provided. The optoelectronic component device comprises: at least one organic light-emitting device with an optically active structure configured to emit light; a multi-finger gesture recognition device configured to recognize a predetermined multi-finger gesture within a region of the optically active structure; and a control device coupled to the multi-finger gesture recognition device and the organic light-emitting device, wherein the control device is configured to control the organic light-emitting device depending on a recognized multi-finger gesture such that at least one predetermined property of the emittable light is changed.

[0092] The method 500 comprises detecting and evaluating 510 an input in the multi-finger gesture recognition device, such that at least one predefined multi-finger gesture is recognizable if the input substantially corresponds to a predefined multi-finger gesture. The method further comprises changing 520 the control of the at least one organic light source depending on the recognized multi-finger gesture when a predefined multi-finger gesture is recognized, such that at least one property of the light emitted by the at least one organic light source is changed.

[0093] The invention is not limited to the specified embodiments. For example, instead of a multi-finger gesture, a general gesture can be used, which is detected by a camera or a photodetector and forwarded to the evaluation device, for example, a processor, which converts detected gestures into control signals for the control device, for example, using software. In addition or alternatively to the described developments, the detection device can have an acoustic detector, for example, a microphone, so that a change in the control of the organic light source is possible through noise or speech, for example, through clapping or a "light on" command.
