  • Publication number: 20260123122
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising a carrier with a front face and a rear face. First metal structures are arranged on the front face of the carrier. An optoelectronic semiconductor chip arranged on the front face of the carrier is electrically contacted via the first metal structures. The first metal structures are at least partially covered by a first dielectric. A second dielectric forms an outer surface of the optoelectronic device which is intended to be touched by a user. The second dielectric has a higher permittivity than the first dielectric. The carrier has second metal structures which are intended to detect a change in capacitance resulting from the user touching the optoelectronic device.
