- a typical fault pattern for a spontaneous failure is a short circuit between the electrodes of the corresponding light emitting diode element.
- Such a short circuit is usually small area. Therefore, much of the total current is concentrated in the small-area short-circuit point. Consequently, the current density is significantly increased in the short-circuit point, so that this short end point can strongly heat up depending on its areal extent. This can cause melting of the electrodes, dark spots in the

- the total voltage is exactly at the detection threshold, which does not provide sufficient detection reliability in the case of scattering of the corresponding measured values occurring in reality.
- Detection threshold U_T 21V is not recognized as such. This may be due to the fact that a corresponding short-circuit can be higher-impedance than the organic short-circuited OLED. The individual voltage of the corresponding OLED is thus determined mainly by the organics and not by the short circuit. Nevertheless, the current density at the Short-cut point increases, which leads to the temperature increase, which is why should respond to the short circuit.

- the optoelectronic assembly 100 may have one, two or more have further component strands 22.
- the embodiments can be combined with each other.
- inorganic light emitting diode elements 12, 14, 16, 18 are used, for example, with the corresponding capacitors 44, 50, 56 and resistors 42, 48, 54th
- an input of the component strand 22 can correspond to an input of the first section 102 and / or to a first electrode of the first light-emitting element 12 and an output of the component strand 22 to an output of the last one
- Section for example, the output of the second portion 110, and / or a second electrode of the last
- Light emitting diode element of the device strand 22, for example, the fourth light emitting diode element 18, correspond kan.
- one output of the component strand 22 is an output of the first portion 102 and / or a second electrode of the first one
- Light emitting diode element 12 may correspond and that an input of the device strand 22 an input of the longest
- Light emitting diode element 12 of the component strand 22 may correspond.
- a second electrode of one of the light-emitting diode elements 12, 14, 16 can correspond to the first electrode of the following light-emitting diode element 14, 16, 18.
- the component strand 22 has a plurality of sections 102, 110, in principle an output of the one can
- Component strand 22 may be referred to. If a section 102 and / or a component strand 22 is only one
- Light-emitting element 12 is basically representative of the section 102 and the Bauteilst ang 22nd
