Abstract

An organic photoelectric device includes a substrate, a base electrode, an electrode terminal, a roof electrode, an organic functional layer, and a self-supporting cover member. The base electrode is configured above a first surface of the substrate, and the electrode terminal is accessible from above the first surface of the substrate. The self-supporting cover member serves to encapsulate the organic functional layer, which is arranged between the substrate and the self-supporting cover member, the self-supporting cover member being formed from conductive material or being coated with a conductive material on a side facing the substrate. The conductive material is locally coupled, in an electrically conductive manner, to the base electrode or the roof electrode at laterally distributed locations, and is further coupled to the electrode terminal in an electrically conductive manner.
