Patent ID: 7838357

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising: a housing body formed of an encapsulation material and defining a recess; an optoelectronic semiconductor chip disposed in the recess of the housing body; and electrical terminals electrically coupled to the semiconductor chip; wherein the encapsulation material comprises a filler which has a degree of reflection which is greater than or equal to 0.5 for electromagnetic radiation of one or more wavelengths within a wavelength range between 300 nm to 400 nm, inclusive, wherein the housing body forming the recess is formed as a reflector of at least part of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip and wherein the encapsulation material is disposed on a side of the recess, formed as a reflector, facing away from the semiconductor chip, wherein the reflector is configured to reflect the radiation in a direction away from a plane on which the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is disposed, and wherein the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is embedded in a sheathing material which is transmissive at least to part of the radiation emitted by said optoelectronic semiconductor chip.
