A method for producing a luminous device is specified. A number of light emitting diodes each have a radiation-transmissive carrier and at least two semiconductor bodies spatially separated from one another. Each semiconductor body is provided for generating electromagnetic radiation. The semiconductor bodies can be driven separately from one another and the semiconductor bodies are arranged at the top side of the radiation-transmissive carrier on the radiation-transmissive carrier. A chip assemblage is composed of CMOS chips each of which has at least two connection locations at its top side. At least one of the light emitting diodes is connected to one of the CMOS chips. The light emitting diode is arranged, at the top side of the radiation-transmissive carrier, at the top side of the CMOS chip and each semiconductor body of the light emitting diode is connected to a connection location of the CMOS chip.
