Motor vehicle interior trim part with OLED
A motor vehicle interior trim part for a motor vehicle interior includes at least one integrated organic light-emitting diode OLED, where the motor vehicle interior trim part has a decorative layer, where the decorative layer has a surface structure, and where the visible side of the OLED directly adjacent to the vehicle interior has the same surface structure as the decorative layer.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one integrated organic light-emitting diode OLED ( 100 ) having an anode and cathode arranged above one another along an axis, and having a visible side, and
a number of organic solar cells ( 600 ) arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis, wherein the organic solar cells ( 600 ) supply energy to the OLED ( 100 ),
wherein the OLED ( 100 ) is surrounded by the organic solar cells ( 600 ), and
wherein the organic solar cells ( 600 ) are connected electrically in series, forming a chain of solar cells ( 600 ), such that an anode ( 700 ) of a first of the organic solar cells in the chain is electrically connected to an anode of the OLED ( 100 ), and a cathode ( 700 ) of a last of the organic solar cells in the chain is electrically connected to the cathode of the OLED.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the OLED ( 100 ) and the organic solar cells ( 600 ) are integrated within a motor vehicle interior trim part ( 103 ) of an instrument panel of a motor vehicle,
the motor vehicle trim part includes a decorative layer ( 200 ) having a surface structure, and wherein the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ) shares the surface structure of the decorative layer ( 200 ), and
the decorative layer ( 200 ) is coloured, and the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ) has the same colour as the decorative layer ( 200 ) in the case that the OLED ( 100 ) is out of operation.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ) has a transparent substrate material ( 300 ), wherein the substrate material ( 300 ) comprises a polymer.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the OLED ( 100 ) has a transparent substrate material ( 300 ), wherein a transparent protective layer ( 400 ) is arranged on the visible side of the substrate material ( 300 ), wherein the visible layer of the OLED ( 100 ) is provided by the protective layer ( 400 ), and wherein the protective layer ( 400 ) comprises a polymer.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the OLED ( 100 ) and the organic solar cells ( 600 ) are integrated within a motor vehicle interior trim part ( 103 ) of an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, wherein the OLED ( 100 ) is arranged between a contact region of the instrument panel and a windscreen ( 108 ) of the motor vehicle and forward of a defroster vent ( 102 ) associated with the windscreen ( 108 ).
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the OLED ( 100 ) and the organic solar cells ( 600 ) are integrated within a motor vehicle interior trim part ( 103 ) of an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, and
the motor vehicle interior trim part ( 103 ) includes a decorative layer ( 200 ) having a surface structure, and wherein the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ) shares the surface structure of the decorative layer ( 200 ).
7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ) is of a same colour as the decorative layer ( 200 ).
8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein anodes ( 700 ) of the solar cells ( 600 ) are arranged in a first plane, and cathodes ( 704 ) of the solar cells ( 600 ) are arranged in a second plane.
9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the OLED ( 100 ) and/or the solar cells is/are printed or adhesively bonded onto the decorative layer ( 200 ).
10. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a material of the decorative layer corresponds to a material of the visible side of the OLED ( 100 ).
