Abstract

The invention relates to an optoelectronic component comprising at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip which is designed to generate or detect electromagnetic radiation, a carrier on which the semiconductor chip is arranged, a first encapsulation body into which the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is embedded, and a second encapsulation body, wherein the first encapsulation body has a first thickness above the semiconductor chip and has a second thickness laterally spaced from the semiconductor chip, the first thickness is less than the second thickness, a third thickness of the first encapsulation body between the first thickness and the second thickness is minimal, and the second encapsulation body is arranged on the first encapsulation body.
