Abstract

An optoelectronic component includes a circuit board having a top side with a chip connection region, an optoelectronic semiconductor chip fixed to the chip connection region, a housing body fixed to the circuit board at the top side of the circuit board and having a reflector region, wherein the reflector region includes an opening in the housing body, the optoelectronic semiconductor chip being arranged in the opening, and the housing body is formed with a plastics material which is metallized at least in selected locations in the reflector region.

Claims (37)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

a circuit board having a top side with a chip connection region,

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip fixed to the chip connection region,

a housing body fixed to the circuit board at the top side of the circuit board and having a reflector region, wherein

the reflector region comprises an opening in the housing body, the optoelectronic semiconductor chip being arranged in said opening,

the housing body is formed with a plastics material which is metalized at least in selected locations in the reflector region,

wherein the circuit board has at its top side a wire connection region spaced apart from the chip connection region,

the housing body has a wire region comprising an opening in the housing body, the wire connection region being arranged in said opening, and

the wire region is spaced apart from the reflector region, and further comprising:

a connection wire fixed to the optoelectronic semiconductor chip and the wire connection region, wherein

the connection wire is led through a cutout in the housing body, which cutout connects the reflector region and the wire region to one another.

2. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is embedded into a potting material which is white, black or colored, wherein a surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip facing away from the chip connection region is free of the potting material.

3. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board has a base body formed with a plastic.

4. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein, at a bottom area of the cutout, the circuit board is exposed in selected locations.

5. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the housing body completely covers the circuit board apart from the reflector region of the circuit board.

6. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the housing body at side areas terminates at least in places flush with side areas of the circuit board.

7. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a base area of the housing body has the same form as a base area of the circuit board.

8. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a base area of the housing body has the same size as a base area of the circuit board.

9. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflector region comprises a reflector opening in proximity to the chip and a reflector opening remote from the chip,

the opening of the reflector region tapers from the reflector opening remote from the chip to the reflector opening in proximity to the chip,

at least one reflector area of the reflector region connects the reflector opening in proximity to the chip and the reflector opening remote from the chip to one another, and

the reflector area is formed by a part of the housing body which is metalized at least in selected locations.

10. The optoelectronic component according to claim 9 , wherein the housing body is metalized only in the region of the reflector area.

11. The optoelectronic component according to claim 9 , wherein the reflector opening in proximity to the chip has an area content which is at most four times the magnitude of the area content of a main area of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip.

12. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board has an underside facing away from the top side, wherein component connection regions for surface mounting are formed at the underside.

13. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , having a thickness (d) of at most 1.0 mm, wherein the circuit board has a thickness (dl) of at most 0.35 mm and the housing body has a thickness (dg) of at most 0.65 mm.

14. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board has a base body formed with polyphenylene sulfide.

15. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the housing body completely covers the circuit board apart from the reflector region and apart from the wire region and apart from the cutout at the top side of the circuit board.

16. An optoelectronic component comprising:

a circuit board having a top side with a chip connection region,

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip fixed to the chip connection region,

a housing body fixed to the circuit board at the top side of the circuit board and having a reflector region, wherein

the reflector region comprises an opening in the housing body, the optoelectronic semiconductor chip being arranged in said opening,

the housing body is formed with a plastics material which is metalized at least in selected locations in the reflector region,

the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is embedded into a potting material which is white, black or colored, wherein

a surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip facing away from the chip connection region is free of the potting material.
