Abstract

A method for producing an electrooptical module having a molding made of a translucent, moldable material, includes positioning a support with an electrooptical transducer in a mold. The support with the transducer is encased by a moldable material to form the molding and the mold has at least one functional surface for coupling. In order to permit and facilitate the production of an electrooptical transducer with a very precisely positioned functional surface and a high mechanical strength, a dead mold is used in the form of a module housing having an opening for the introduction of the support and a coupling region for a coupling partner. A housing part which is located in the coupling region is configured to correspond to the functional surface. A mold for producing an electrooptical module, and an electrooptical module, are also provided.
