Abstract
An optoelectronic component and a method of manufacturing such a component. The component includes at least one pixel comprising a first and a second electrode for electric coupling. An optoelectronically active material is between the electrodes. The optoelectronically active material is a hybrid sol-gel glass that is chemically supplemented with a material affecting the optoelectronic properties. The component is manufactured by spreading the optoelectronically active hybrid sol-gel on the first electrode, hardening the hybrid sol-gel glass by radiation, and forming the second electrode on the optoelectronically active hybrid sol-gel glass.
Claims9
A method of manufacturing an optoelectronically component, the method comprising:
- utilizing at least first and second electrodes having an optoelectronically active material therebetween;
- preparing an optoelectronically active hybrid sol-gel material by chemically bonding an inorganic carrier, a semiconductive organic material affecting optoelectronic properties of the optoelectronic component and a polymer material;
- spreading the optoelectronically active hybrid sol-gel on the first electrode;
- hardening the hybrid sol-gel by using at least one of the following:
- UV radiation, X-rays, electron radiation and chemical treatment, the polymer material in the hybrid sol-gel being sensitive to the hardening process;
- and
- forming the second electrode on the optoelectronically active hybrid sol-gel.
