The invention relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED), also
referred to as a light emitting diode, which comprises at least one
substrate, one anode, one hole transport layer, one emitter layer, one
cathode and one encapsulation. It is proposed that an energy carrier,
which supplies the voltage that causes the OLED to emit light, be
integrated into the OLED. The energy carrier can be a battery (energy
storage device) or an energy converter (photovoltaic element).
