Abstract
A device for protection against electrostatic discharge in electric, electronic and optoelectronic components, in particular those which are present in the form of printed components. This relates, for example, to components from the field of flexible electronics, such as e.g. touch screens, multi-touch screens, displays and other input and output devices which are touched by the user and comprise read-out electronics, circuits, in particular printed circuits, and/or sensors. Through the provision of simple discontinuities and/or exposure of certain points or areas of the dissipative structures of an electric, electronic and/or optoelectronic component, an electrostatic discharge taking place is directed thereto, and thus a random electrostatic discharge with expected damage to the layer electrode(s) of the component can be prevented.
