Abstract: An LED array comprising at least two LED chips (2) contains a temperature sensor (3), and means are provided for regulating the operating current of the LED chips (2) as a function of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor (3). This makes it possible for the LED chips (2) to be operated for long periods at high operating current, thereby reducing the risk of thermal overload.

Abstract: A housing for an electromagnetic radiation emitting optoelectronic component is specified. The housing comprises a housing base body provided with a recess in which at least one chip mounting surface is disposed. At least one outer surface of the housing base body, disposed on an emission side of the housing and adjoining the recess, is provided with a baffle layer suitable for screening an electromagnetic radiation. An electromagnetic radiation emitting component provided with such a housing and a method of making a corresponding housing or component are also specified.

Abstract: A light-emitting diode arrangement having at least one light-emitting diode chip (1), each light-emitting diode chip (1) being assigned at least one optical element (4). In addition, the light-emitting diode arrangement has at least one heat-conducting element (13) which is suitable to carry away the heat generated by the light-emitting diode chip, and at least one cooling apparatus which is suitable to carry heat away from the heat-conducting element. The light-emitting diode arrangement is particularly well suited, for example, to use in motor vehicle headlamps.

Abstract: A housing is specified for an electronic component having at least two connecting parts (4a, 4b), which are partially in contact with the housing. The conductivity of at least subareas of the housing are set in a defined manner and current paths through the housing are formed between the connecting parts. The housing thus has a defined resistance (2), which is connected in parallel with an electronic component (1), and provides ESD protection for the component (1).
