Abstract
An optical component has a diffraction structure for diffractively influencing a direction of emergence of light of at least one wavelength incident on the optical component. The diffraction structure includes at least two diffraction substructures superimposed in at least one portion of the optical component and having first positive diffraction structures and first negative diffraction structures. A first diffraction substructure has first positive diffraction structures and first negative diffraction structures arranged to have a symmetry following a first symmetry condition. A second diffraction substructure has second positive diffraction structures and second negative diffraction structures arranged to have a second symmetry condition differing from the first symmetry condition. This can result in an optical component for which a production of a diffraction structure with a diffraction effect for different target wavelengths and/or an improved diffraction effect for one and the same target wavelength is made more flexible.
