Abstract

An organic opto-electric device has a layer stack with a base electrode, an organic layer assembly, a cover electrode and a contact layer. The organic layer assembly is arranged between the base electrode and the cover electrode and the cover electrode is arranged between the organic layer assembly and the contact layer. The cover electrode and the base electrode are structured to form several laterally adjacent optically active areas and the base electrode, the organic layer assembly, the cover electrode and the contact layer are interconnected by vias such that at least two optically active areas are connected in series so that a current flow through the at least two optically active areas passes in a direction between the base electrode and a cover electrode. The current flow between the at least two optically active areas passes through the contact layer, wherein the contact layer contacts the base electrode above one of the vias laterally in the interior of the two optically active areas.
