Organic lighting device and lighting equipment

A luminous means comprising:

• a substrate having a first main surface and an active region,
• a first electrode on the first main surface of the substrate,
• an organic layer stack within the active region of the substrate on a side of the first electrode facing away from the first main surface of the substrate,
• a second electrode on a side of the organic layer stack facing away from the first electrode,
• an encapsulation for the organic layer stack against moisture and other atmospheric gases on a side of the second electrode facing away from the organic layer stack, wherein the organic layer stack comprises at least one organic layer which is suitable for generating light, wherein the encapsulation comprises a thin-film encapsulation which comprises a thin-film layer, and wherein the thin-film layer is formed by an atomic layer deposition, and
• a protective lacquer layer on a side of thin-film encapsulation facing away from the substrate, wherein the protective lacquer layer comprises a plastic material.
