An optoelectronic component having a semiconductor body (1) comprising an active semiconductor layer sequence (2) is disclosed, said semiconductor layer sequence being suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength, which is emitted from a front side (3) of the semiconductor body (1). The component furthermore comprises a first wavelength conversion substance (6), which is disposed downstream of the semiconductor body (1) in the emission direction thereof and converts radiation having the first wavelength into radiation having a second wavelength, which is different from the first wavelength, and a first selectively reflective layer (8) between the active semiconductor sequence (2) and the first wavelength conversion substance (6), which layer selectively selects radiation having the second wavelength and is transmissive to radiation having the first wavelength.
