Abstract: Optoelectronic components, in particular those comprising a line of luminescent diodes arranged in a row, are provided according to the prior art with contacts that have a number of disadvantages, some of which are that the light efficiency is relatively low and that irregularities in the light efficiency of a row occur due to incorrect adjustments of the contacts. According to the invention the contact is therefore designed as a contact bridge passing transversely over the contact window, so that on the one hand only a small amount of light-emitting surface is covered and a high light power thereby attained, and on the other hand the regularity of the light efficiency is independent of any misalignment of the contact bridge.
