Patent ID: 7897977

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising a body, which is suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation when said component is in operation, which includes a carrier substrate and a radiation emitting layer sequence disposed on said carrier substrate, and which is disposed in a reflector cup of a component housing and is electrically conductively connected to external electrical leads of said component housing wherein said reflector cup includes: a reflector region with an inner surface whose cross section increases as viewed from said radiation emitting body to a front side of said component housing, such that radiation coming from said layer sequence and striking said inner surface is deflected specifically to a desired optical axis of said component, and a substrate trough, which is disposed upstream on the floor side of said reflector region and in which said radiation emitting body is arranged, the depth of said substrate trough being so selected that said carrier substrate is at least partially sunken relative to said reflector region and the length and the width of said substrate trough being so adapted to the length and the width of said body that only minuscule gaps exist between flanks of said body and said substrate trough.
