Method for Operating an Organic Optoelectronic Component

A method for operating an organic optoelectronic component that comprises an organic light emitting element that emits visible light at an intensity during operation and an organic light detecting element having an organic light detecting layer, the method comprising:

• detecting ambient light incident on the organic optoelectronic component, the ambient light detected by the organic light detecting element;
• regulating the intensity of the light emitted by the organic light emitting element based on a signal from the organic light detecting element with a characteristic signal waveform;
• wherein the organic light emitting element has an organic functional layer stack with an organic light emitting layer between two electrodes;
• wherein the organic light emitting element and the organic light detecting element are arranged on a common substrate in laterally adjacent area regions;
• wherein an area covered on the common substrate by organic light detecting element is at most ten percent of an area covered on the common substrate by organic light emitting elements;
• and
• wherein the organic light emitting element has an area of greater than or equal to one square centimeter.

A method for operating an organic optoelectronic component that comprises an organic light emitting element and a plurality of organic light detecting elements having an organic light detecting layer, the method comprising:

• detecting ambient light incident on the organic optoelectronic component, the ambient light detected by the organic light detecting elements;
• regulating the intensity of the light emitted by the organic light emitting element based on on a temporal succession of signals from at least two organic light detecting elements, the signals each having a respective characteristic signal waveform;
• wherein the organic light emitting element has an organic functional layer stack with at least one organic light emitting layer between two electrodes,
• wherein each organic light detecting elements has an organic light detecting layer;
• and
• wherein the organic light emitting element and the organic light detecting elements are arranged on a surface of a common substrate in laterally adjacent area regions.
