An optoelectronic component, a lighting apparatus and a car headlight are disclosed. In an embodiment an optoelectronic component includes a radiation side having a plurality of pixels arranged next to each other and a contact side, opposite of the radiation side, having a plurality of first contact structures, wherein a length of each pixel is greater than a width of the pixel, wherein the first contact structures are electrically contacted individually and independently of each other during operation, wherein each pixel is electrically uniquely associated with a first contact structure, and wherein, for each pixel and a pixel directly adjacent thereto, the two first contact structures of these two pixels are arranged differently with respect to the associated pixels so that a translation, which images the pixel in the directly adjacent pixel, does not image the two associated first contact structures congruently into each other.
