An optoelectronic component (1) comprises a carrier (2) and at least one semiconductor chip (3). The semiconductor chip (3) is arranged on the carrier (2) and designed for emitting a primary radiation (6). The semiconductor chip (3) is at least partly enclosed by an at least partly transparent medium (7) having a height (8) above the carrier (2) and a width (9) along the carrier (2). Particles (10, 11) are introduced into the medium (7) and interact with the primary radiation (6). The medium (7) has a ratio of the height (8) to the width (9) of greater than 1.
