Abstract
An arrangement for operating an organic radiation-emitting component (D) is specified. The arrangement comprises a driver circuit (T) with at least two driver outputs (TA, TAn), a decoupling unit (E) with at least two inputs (EE, EEn) and outputs (EA, EAn) corresponding to the inputs (EE, EEn), the radiation-emitting component (D) with at least two electrodes (DE, DEn), and a contact sensor (S) with a sensor electrode (SE) which is at least partially formed by one of the electrodes (DE, DEn) of the radiation-emitting component (D). The radiation-emitting component (D) emits electromagnetic radiation during operation. One of the driver outputs (TA, TAn) of the driver circuit (T) is coupled in each case, in a low-impedance manner using DC technology, to one of the electrodes (DE, DEn) of the radiation-emitting component (D). The driver circuit (T) and the contact sensor (S) can be coupled to a common energy source (Q). The contact sensor (S) is decoupled from the driver circuit (T) by means of the decoupling unit (E) in such a manner that contact of the sensor electrode (S) by a user can be detected during operation of the radiation-emitting component (D).
