The invention relates to an optoelectronic component (10), comprising a carrier (1) and a plurality of nanorods (2), which are arranged on the carrier (1), wherein the nanorods (2) each comprise an active zone (2d). Furthermore, the optoelectronic component (10) comprises a potting compound (3), which is arranged on the carrier (1) and at least partially embeds the nanorods (2), and a structured metallization (5), which laterally surrounds the nanorods (2), wherein the nanorods (2) extend in a longitudinal direction N, the structured metallization (5) extends in a longitudinal direction M, and the longitudinal direction M of the structured metallization (5) extends transversely to the longitudinal direction N of the nanorods (2).
