Organic light emitting device and method for operating an organic light emitting diode

In at least one embodiment, the light-emitting diode (1) comprises an organic layer sequence (2) for generating a radiation. The light-emitting diode (1) comprises at least one deformation region (4), which is located on the stabilizing portion (3). The organic layer sequence (2) is applied to the deformation region (4) and / or the stabilization area (3), so that these are adapted for generating radiation. The deformation region (4) is mechanically deformed in a reversible. By deforming the Verformbereichs (4) a spatial radiation characteristic of the light-emitting diode (1) is adjustable.
