  • Publication number: 20110180822
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component having a basic housing or frame and at least one semiconductor chip, specifically a radiation-emitting or—receiving semiconductor chip, in a cavity of the basic housing. In order to increase the efficiency of the optoelectronic component, reflectors are provided in the cavity in the region around the semiconductor chip. These reflectors are formed by virtue of the fact that a filling compound filled at least partly into the cavity is provided, the material and the quantity of the filling compound being chosen in such a way that the filling compound, on account of the adhesion force between the filling compound and the basic housing, assumes a form which widens essentially conically from bottom to top in the cavity, and the conical inner areas of the filling compound serve as reflector.

  • Publication number: 20100301355
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component includes a carrier element. At least two elements are arranged in an adjacent fashion on a first side of the carrier element. Each element has at least one optically active region for generating the electromagnetic radiation. The optoelectronic component has an electrically insulating protective layer arranged at least in part on a surface of the at least two adjacent elements which lies opposite the first side. The protective layer, at least in a first region arranged between the at least two adjacent elements, at least predominantly prevents a transmission of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the optically active regions.

  • Patent number: 7824941
    Abstract: The invention describes a method for producing a light-emitting-diode (LED) light source, particularly comprising mixed-color LEDs, wherein at least a portion of primary radiation emitted by a chip is transformed by luminescence conversion. Said chip comprises a front-side (i.e., the side facing in the direction of radiation) electrical contact to whose surface a luminescence conversion material is applied in the form of a thin layer. Prior to coating, the front-side electrical contact is raised by the application of an electrically conductive material to the electrical contact surface. The method enables specific color coordinates to be adjusted selectively by monitoring the color coordinates (IEC chromaticity diagram) and thinning the layer of luminescence conversion material. In addition, the method is suited in particular for simultaneously producing a plurality of LED light sources from a multiplicity of similar chips in a wafer composite.
