Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a method for closely connecting an organic optoelectronic component to a connection piece, including forming a first cavity in the organic optoelectronic component, wherein the first cavity has at least a first opening, introducing a connecting structure through the first opening into the first cavity, wherein the connecting structure has a first fixing area, wherein the first fixing area is configured partially complementarily to the form of the first cavity, forming a second cavity in a connection piece, wherein the second cavity has at least a second opening, wherein the second cavity is configured partially complementarily to the form of the second fixing area, and introducing a second fixing area through the second opening into the second cavity, and forming a friction-fitting connection of the organic optoelectronic component with the connecting piece once the connecting structure has been introduced into the first and the second cavity.

Dependent claims

A method for closely connecting an organic optoelectronic component to a connection piece, the method comprising:

forming a first cavity in the organic optoelectronic component, wherein the first cavity has at least one first opening;
introducing a connection structure through the first opening into the first cavity,
wherein the introduced connection structure has a first fixing region, wherein the first fixing region of the connection structure is designed at least partly complementarily to the form of the first cavity;
forming a second cavity in the connection piece, wherein the second cavity has at least one second opening;
wherein the second cavity is designed at least partly complementarily to the form of a second fixing region of the introduced connection structure;
introducing the second fixing region of the connection structure through the second opening into the second cavity;
and
forming a force-locking connection of the organic optoelectronic component to the connection piece after the connection structure has been introduced into the first cavity and the second cavity, and
wherein during or after the process of forming the close connection of the organic optoelectronic component to the connection piece by the connection structure, an electrical connection between the optoelectronic component and the connection piece is additionally formed.

An optoelectronic component device,

comprising:
an organic optoelectronic component, a connection piece and a connection structure between the organic optoelectronic component and the connection piece:
wherein the connection structure has a first fixing region and a second fixing region;
wherein the organic optoelectronic component has a first cavity and the connection piece has a second cavity;
wherein the first fixing region is formed at least partly in the first cavity, and wherein the second fixing region is formed at least partly in the second cavity;
wherein the first fixing region is designed at least partly complementarily to the first cavity and/or the second fixing region is designed at least partly complementarily to the second cavity;
wherein the connection structure connects the organic optoelectronic component to the connection piece in a force-locking manner, wherein the force-locking connection is formed outside the optoelectronic component and the connection structure, and
wherein by the connection structure, an electrical connection between the optoelectronic component and the connection piece is additionally formed.
