Abstract

An organic light-emitting component includes a translucent substrate, on which an optical coupling-out layer is applied. A translucent electrode overlies the coupling-out layer and an organic functional layer stack having organic functional layers overlies the translucent electrode. The organic functional layer stack includes a first organic light-emitting layer on the translucent electrode and a second organic light-emitting layer on the first organic light-emitting layer. The first organic light-emitting layer includes arbitrarily arranged emitter molecules and the second organic light-emitting layer includes anisotropically oriented emitter molecules having an anisotropic molecular structure.
