Abstract

In an embodiment the optical component includes an optoelectronic semiconductor chip including a radiation emission face, a deflection element configured to deflect electromagnetic radiation emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip in a main emission direction which forms an angle deviating from 90° with the radiation emission face, wherein the deflection element is configured as a prism structure and an optical lens having an optical axis, wherein the optical axis forms an angle deviating from 90° with the radiation emission face.

Claims (17)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a radiation emission face;

a deflection element configured to deflect electromagnetic radiation emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip in a main emission direction which forms an angle deviating from 90° with the radiation emission face, wherein the deflection element is configured as a prism structure; and

an optical lens having an optical axis, wherein the optical axis forms an angle deviating from 90° with the radiation emission face.

2. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the optical lens is configured as a converging lens.

3. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the optical lens is configured in a non-radially symmetrical fashion.

4. The optoelectronic component according to claim 3 , wherein the optical lens comprises a shape of an ellipse in a plane parallel to the radiation emission face.

5. The optoelectronic component according to claim 4 , wherein the optical axis of the optical lens and a major axis of the ellipse are arranged in a common plane.

6. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the main emission direction and the optical axis of the optical lens are arranged in a common plane.

7. The optoelectronic component according to claim 6 , wherein the main emission direction and the optical axis are tilted in the same direction relative to a direction perpendicular to the radiation emission face.

8. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the optical lens and the prism structure are formed on a common optical element.

9. The optoelectronic component according to claim 8 , wherein the prism structure and the optical lens are superimposed on one another.

10. The optoelectronic component according to claim 9 , wherein the optical element is configured as a total internal reflection lens.

11. The optoelectronic component according to claim 8 , wherein the prism structure and the optical lens are located on opposite sides of the optical element.

12. The optoelectronic component according to claim 8 , wherein the prism structure is arranged on a side of the optical element that faces the radiation emission face.

13. The optoelectronic component according to claim 8 , wherein the prism structure is arranged on a side of the optical element that faces away from the radiation emission face.

14. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the deflection element is configured as a reflector.
