wherein the second organic layer comprises a first partial layer and a second partial layer,

wherein a metallic layer is arranged above the organic layer sequence,

wherein the first partial layer is not doped with a metal of the metallic layer, and

wherein the second partial layer is doped with the metal of the metallic layer.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cathode comprises Ag and Mg.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the anode comprises Ag.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cathode comprises a metal which is different from a metal of the metallic layer.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the metallic layer has a thickness between 1 nm and 4 nm.
