Structure assembly and method for outage protection of an LED or OLED chain

摘要

The arrangement has multiple LED or organic LED light units (11) switched in series. A weak spot in the form of a perforation layer (5) i.e. oxide layer, is integrated at a point of a structure between two power supply lines of the two adjacent light units during the manufacturing of the light units. The perforation layer breaks in case of the failure of the light units and the perforation layer is by-passed by a conductive bridging layer (6). The perforation layer is formed in an electrically insulating manner. An independent claim is also included for a method for providing the failure protection for a LED or organic LED chain.
