Abstract

In at least one embodiment, the organic light-emitting diode (10) comprises a carrier substrate (1) and a first electrode (21). Furthermore, the organic light-emitting diode (10) comprises an organic layer sequence (3) having at least one active layer (30) for generating an electromagnetic radiation. The organic layer sequence (3) is situated at a side of the first electrode (21) which faces away from the carrier substrate (1). Moreover, the organic light-emitting diode (10) comprises a second electrode (22), which is mounted at a side of the organic layer sequence (2) which faces away from the carrier substrate (1). Furthermore, the organic light-emitting diode (10) comprises a protective diode (4) designed for protection against damage from electrostatic discharges. The protective diode (4) is mounted on the carrier substrate (1) and is situated at the same main side (11) of the carrier substrate (1) as the organic layer sequence (3).
