Patent ID: 8476667

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising at least one metal body, a first electrical connection region, a second electrical connection region, an electrical contact structure and a layer sequence, on a base body and which is embodied to emit an electromagnetic radiation and to which an insulation is applied on at least one side area of the layer sequence, wherein the base body serves as a carrier for the layer sequence, wherein the layer sequence is suitable for emitting the electromagnetic radiation, wherein the electrical contact structure is arranged between the layer sequence and the base body, said electrical contact structure being electrically coupled to the first electrical connection region, wherein the at least one metal body is on at least one region of the insulation and is embodied in such a way that it is in thermally conductive contact with the base body, wherein a current distribution structure is on at least one region of a surface of the layer sequence which is remote from the base body, wherein the current distribution structure runs in the form of a contact web over the surface of the layer sequence, wherein the contact web forms contours of a plurality of rectangles or squares, wherein the second electrical connection region is applied on the base body, said second electrical connection region being electrically coupled to the current distribution structure, wherein the metal body is in electrically conductive contact with the current distribution structure and with the second electrical connection region for making electrical contact with the optoelectronic component, and wherein the optoelectronic component is free of a bonding wire.
