Abstract

An optoelectronic device includes an optoelectronic component that generates or receives radiation, a frame and an optical element, wherein the frame extends in a vertical direction between a radiation passage side and a rear side; an opening, in which the component is arranged, is formed in the frame; the optical element covers the component in a plan view of the radiation passage side; and the optical element is a Fresnel lens or a Fresnel zone plate.

Claims (15)

1. An optoelectronic device comprising an optoelectronic component that generates or receives radiation, a frame and an optical element, wherein the frame extends in a vertical direction between a radiation passage side and a rear side; an opening in which the component is arranged is formed in the frame; the optical element covers the component in a plan view of the radiation passage side; the optical element is a Fresnel lens or a Fresnel zone plate; the opening has an edge at which a cross section of the opening increases at least in regions; and the optical element is arranged between the rear side and the edge.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is a film in which the Fresnel lens or the Fresnel zone plate is formed.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is a pre-manufactured element fastened to the frame.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is arranged between the radiation passage side and the component in the vertical direction.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a front side of the optical element facing away from the component is arranged closer to the component than the radiation passage side of the frame.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a first frame part and a second, separate frame part and the first frame part and the second frame part are arranged above one another in the vertical direction.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the optical element is arranged between the first frame part and the second frame part.

8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the first frame part and the second frame part each include at least one connection element and the connection elements engage in one another.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is arranged on the radiation passage side of the frame.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening includes an undercut region between the radiation passage side and the rear side.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening has a smaller cross-sectional area on the radiation passage side than on the rear side.

12. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a connection support, connected to the rear side of the frame and on which the component is mounted, and wherein the device is a surface-mountable component.

13. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising another optoelectronic component arranged in another opening of the frame.

14. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising another optical element that covers the another optoelectronic component in a plan view of the radiation passage side, and the another optical element is a Fresnel lens or a Fresnel zone plate.

15. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the device is a proximity sensor, in which the component and the further component form an emitter/detector pair.
