Abstract

An optoelectronic component may include a first organic functional layer structure, a second organic functional layer structure, and a charge generating layer structure between the first organic functional layer structure and the second organic functional layer structure. The charge generating layer structure includes a first electron-conducting charge generating layer, and a second electron-conducting charge generating layer. The second electron-conducting charge generating layer is formed from a single substance, and the substance of the first electron-conducting charge generating layer is a substance selected from the group of substances consisting of: HAT-CN, Cu(I)pFBz, NDP-2, NDP-9, Bi(III)pFBz, F16CuPc.
