  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7837371
    Abstract: A light source, such as for a projection system, having a plurality of semiconductor chips and at least two different, electromagnetic-radiation-emitting chip types with different emission spectra, each semiconductor chip having a chip coupling-out area through which radiation is coupled out. Furthermore, the light source has a plurality of primary optical elements, each semiconductor chip being assigned a primary optical element, which in each case has a light input and a light output and reduces the divergence of at least part of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip during the operation thereof. The semiconductor chips with the primary optical elements are arranged in at least two groups that are spatially separate from one another, with the result that the groups emit separate light cones during operation of the semiconductor chips. The separate light cones of the groups are superposed by means of a secondary optical arrangement to form a common light cone.
