A device comprising an organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation, wherein the organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation, and wherein the encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences, at least one touch-sensitive operating element, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive operating element comprises at least one touch sensor, wherein the device is flexible.

A cabinet and a kit for retrofitting a cabinet are disclosed. The cabinet includes a stationary box, at least one moveable wing attached to the stationary box and configured to open and close relative to the stationary box. The at least one moveable wing includes at least one of a door hinged to the stationary box or a drawer mounted via slide actuators to the stationary box. The cabinet also includes a reed switch attached to the stationary box, a magnet attached to the at least one moveable wing, and at least one light emitting diode (LED) fixture installed within the stationary box. Opening the at least one wing separates the reed switch from the magnet and permits current to flow to the at least one LED fixture to illuminate at least an interior portion of the stationary box.

An organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation. The organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation. The radiation exit area is structured, so that the electromagnetic radiation has a directional emission profile. The encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences.

A window blind assembly to provide illumination to the interior of a room and to prevent sunlight from entering the room includes a multitude of the light emitting diode (LED) slats mounted in the window opening of a window frame and being rotatably connected to the window frame: a controller being embedded in the window blind assembly and configured to control the function of each row of the LED slats.

Organic light-emitting diodes as well as luminaires with such organic light-emitting diodes are specified. The luminaires may in particular be the following apparatuses, or the luminaires are part of existing apparatuses: alarm, shower cubicle, shower head, solar protection, rain protection, lamp, bed, signaling light, changing cubicle, vision protection, housing, emergency lighting, mirror, slabs, ceiling lights, radiator cladding, blinds, noise protection, umbrella, warning light.

In order to provide a light emitting decoration, a method for laying a light emitting decoration, a laying object, and a method for forming a light emitting design, each which provides a light emitting design having excellent visibility with less light emission source and energy consumed, the light emitting decoration includes: a woven fabric having a side emission optical fiber woven in a line shape over one end side and the other end side, and the woven fabric is visually recognized in a state where the other end side is located on the front side and the one end side is located on the back side; and a light source which introduces light to advance from the one end side toward the other end side in the optical fiber. The laying object includes the light emitting decoration laid thereon.

Lighting may be provided using light sources such as lighting systems with arrays of light-emitting diodes. A lighting system may be integrated into a seat, a door panel, a dashboard, or other interior portions of a system such as a vehicle. The interior portions of the vehicle may be illuminated using lighting systems to provide ambient light, to provide custom surface textures and other decorative patterns, to provide icons, text, and other information, and to provide custom gauges and other illuminated regions. Illuminated regions may overlap sensors such as capacitive touch sensors, force sensors, and other sensors. The light-emitting diodes in a lighting system may supply light that passes through openings in a cover layer. The layer may be formed from fabric, leather, or other materials. Lens structures may guide light through the openings.

An artificial sunlight system for wall installation comprising: one or more modules, each module comprising at least the following, (a) a frame configured to be installed on a wall; (b) at least one panel supported by said frame, said panel having first and second ends and an emission surface for emitting panel light, and said panel being configured to emit said panel light away from said wall when said frame is installed on said wall; and (c) at least one ceiling light emitter supported by said frame, said ceiling light emitter being configured to emit ceiling light upward toward a ceiling when said frame is installed on said wall.
