Patent ID: 7586190

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising: a heat sink; a carrier thermally conductively connected to the heat sink; a semiconductor arrangement which emits or receives electromagnetic radiation and which is arranged on the carrier; external electrical connections which are connected to the semiconductor arrangement, wherein the external electrical connections are arranged in electrically insulated fashion on the heat sink at a distance from the carrier; a basic housing arranged on the heat sink, wherein the semiconductor arrangement and the carrier are arranged in a cavity defined in the basic housing, and wherein the cavity in the basic housing comprises an inner side which obliquely faces the semiconductor arrangement and forms a first reflective area for a portion of the electromagnetic radiation; and a reflective filling compound provided between the semiconductor arrangement and the inner side of the basic housing, the reflective filling material comprising a concave curved surface extending from the inner side of the basic housing to a top edge of the carrier and forming a second reflective area for another portion of the electromagnetic radiation.
