Abstract: An optical emission device with an emitter semiconductor chip and a cover intended to be suitable for backlighting areas, the device having a comparatively low structural height and low packing density. The cover has a light aperture formed using a convex and concave lens for radiating light in a solid angle of maximum size. This device can also be used in combination with an additional external reflector and diffusion screen.

Abstract: A lead frame adapted for a plurality of semiconductor chips in which, for each semiconductor chip, at least one electric terminal is extended out of the package after encapsulation of the lead frame. In addition, a process for the production of a lead with this lead frame, enables a full automation of the lead assembly and good, reliable production. The lead frame has at least one mechanical node (T1, T2, T3, T4; T) at which, by severing a single reinforced node, at least three electric conductors (1, 2, G; 3, 4, G; 5, 6, G; 7, 8, G; 21, 22, 23) are electrically separated from one another.

Abstract: In order to manufacture respectively optocouplers or reflex light barriers particularly efficiently, semiconductor light transmitters and semiconductor light receivers are situated on a single substrate. The optic coupling or optic isolation of light transmitter and light receiver takes place in the substrate. Only then are semiconductor elements separated into discrete units.
