  • Publication number: 20100207148
    Abstract: A radiation-emitting component includes a semiconductor layer stack having an active region that emits electromagnetic radiation, and at least one surface of the semiconductor layer stack or of an optical element that transmits the electromagnetic radiation wherein the surface has a normal vector, wherein on the at least one surface of the semiconductor layer stack or of the optical element through which the electromagnetic radiation passes, an antireflection layer is arranged such that, for a predetermined wavelength, it has a minimum reflection at a viewing angle relative to the normal vector of the surface at which an increase in a zonal luminous flux of the electromagnetic radiation has approximately a maximum.

  • Publication number: 20090180294
    Abstract: An optoelectronic headlight which emits electromagnetic radiation is specified, which has a luminescence diode chip with at least two spatial emission regions or which has at least two luminescence diode chips each having at least one spatial emission region. The headlight is suitable in particular for a front headlight for motor vehicles. The emission regions, in a plan view of a main extension plane associated with them, are shaped differently, are of different sizes and/or are not shaped rectangularly and are differently oriented. Particularly preferably, the emission regions can be driven independently of one another. Methods for production of an optoelectronic headlight and a luminescence diode chip are furthermore specified.
