Abstract
The invention relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device (200) comprising a tag element (201) that encodes operating information about the device, for example its maximal driving current, such that this information can be read out wirelessly and/or electrically by wire but approximately without Ohmic losses. The invention further comprises a socket (600) with a read-out unit (601) for reading out the operating information from such a tag element (201). The tag element may for instance comprise a tag electrode (201) that can capacitively couple to a counter-electrode (601) in the socket.
