Abstract

A light-emitting module including a light-emitting component and a resilient body is provided. The light-emitting component includes a light-emitting layer structure for generating light and includes a light-emitting main face through which the generated light leaves the light-emitting component. The resilient body, which is arranged over the light-emitting main face, is connected firmly to the light-emitting component, includes at least one light-deviating region, and includes a free-lying surface which includes at least one surface element, which lies at a distance greater than or equal to 4 mm from the light-emitting layer structure.

Claims (27)

1. A light-emitting module, comprising

a light-emitting component, which comprises a light-emitting layer structure for generating light and comprises a light-emitting main face through which the generated light leaves the light-emitting component, and

a resilient body, which is arranged over the light-emitting main face, is connected firmly to the light-emitting component, comprises at least one light-deviating region, and comprises a free-lying surface which comprises at least one surface element, which lies at a distance greater than or equal to 4 mm from the light-emitting layer structure.

2. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the distance

is greater than or equal to 1 cm, or greater than or equal to 2.5 cm, and

less than 5 m, or less than 1 m, or less than 25 cm.

3. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting component comprises a plurality of light-emitting layer structures, which are formed on single-piece carrier.

4. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an overall luminous area formed by the light-emitting layer structure or structures is greater than or equal to 1 cm 2 .

5. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an elastic modulus of the resilient body in the region is from 0.01 kN/mm 2 to 5.0 kN/mm 2 .

6. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the free-lying surface of the resilient body is essentially not parallel to the light-emitting main face of the light-emitting component.

7. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-deviating region comprises a scattering region, a mirror region and/or a conversion region.

8. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-deviating region has a shape by means of which an item of information is represented.

9. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resilient body is transparent or translucent outside the light-deviating region.

10. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising an internal operating element, which is embedded in the resilient body and can be operated from the outside by a user indirectly via the resilient body.

11. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the internal operating element comprises a push-button, a contact sensor, a control lever and/or a switch.

12. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising an external operating element, which is arranged on the surface of the resilient body and can be operated from the outside by a user.

13. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an actuator, which is embedded in the resilient body and provides a user with a signal indirectly via the resilient body.

14. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting component can be bent nondestructively.

15. A method for producing a light-emitting component comprising,

providing a light-emitting component, which comprises a light-emitting layer structure for generating light and comprises a light-emitting main face through which the light leaves the light-emitting component

arranging a resilient body over the light-emitting main face and

connecting the resilient body firmly to the light-emitting component, the resilient body comprising at least one light-deviating region and a free-lying surface which comprises at least one surface element, which lies at a distance greater than or equal to 4 mm from the light-emitting layer structure.

16. 3D-OLED, comprising

an organic light-emitting component, which comprises a light-emitting layer structure for generating light and comprises a light-emitting main face through which the generated light leaves the organic light-emitting component, and

a resilient body, which is arranged on the light-emitting main face, which is cohesively bonded to the light-emitting main face and which comprises at least one exposed outer surface, which is formed by a light-deviating region and which comprises at least one surface element, which has a distance greater than or equal to 4 mm from the light-emitting layer structure,

wherein the resilient body and its exposed outer surface have a three-dimensional shape such that a three-dimensional luminous surface is formed by the resilient body and the light-deviating region at the exposed outer surface.

17. The light-emitting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an elastic modulus of the resilient body in the region is from 0.1 kN/mm 2 to 1.0 kN/mm 2 .
