Abstract

An optoelectronic component includes: a wet-chemically processed hole injection layer; and an additional layer doped with a dopant and adjacent to the wet-chemically processed hole injection layer, the dopant comprising a copper complex having at least one ligand with the chemical structure according to formula I in which E1 and E2 are each independently one of the following elements: sulfur, oxygen or selenium, and R is selected from the group of: hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted, branched, linear or cyclic hydrocarbons.

Claims (36)
