Abstract

A multilayer encapsulation, a method for encapsulating and an optoelectronic component are disclosed. In an embodiment an optoelectronic component includes a first electrode layer, an organic light-emitting layer stack abutting the first electrode layer, a second electrode layer abutting the light-emitting layer stack and a multilayer encapsulation abutting the second electrode layer, wherein the multilayer encapsulation comprises a barrier layer and a planarization layer, wherein the planarization layer abuts the second electrode layer, and wherein the planarization layer is arranged between the second electrode layer and the barrier layer.

Claims (30)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

a first electrode layer;

an organic light-emitting layer stack abutting the first electrode layer;

a second electrode layer abutting the light-emitting layer stack; and

a multilayer encapsulation abutting the second electrode layer,

wherein the multilayer encapsulation comprises a barrier layer and a planarization layer,

wherein the planarization layer directly abuts the second electrode layer, and

wherein the planarization layer is arranged between the second electrode layer and the barrier layer.

2. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer comprises at least two sub-layers.

3. The optoelectronic component according to claim 2 , wherein each of the sub-layers comprises a metal oxide.

4. The optoelectronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the metal oxides of the at least two sub-layers are different from each other.
