Patent ID: 8476114

Claim:
A method for producing a housing for an optoelectronic component, the method comprising: forming a plastic base body by performing a two-component injection method that comprises: in a first step, forming a supporting part of the plastic base body from a first plastic component, wherein the plastic base body includes a front side with an assembly region for mounting at least one radiation emitting or radiation detecting body, and in a further step, forming an optically functional region of the plastic base body from a second plastic component that differs from the first plastic component in at least one optical property, wherein the assembly region is disposed in a reflector-like cavity of the plastic base body, wherein the second plastic component comprises a non-reflective material that is colored black, and the second plastic component comprises a layer that extends along at least a portion of the front side of the plastic base body except for the reflector-like cavity, and the layer also runs along at least a partial area of sidewall surfaces of the reflector-like cavity.
