The present invention relates to a light emitting diode component (101), comprising a light emitting semiconductor structure (104) having a top surface, and a micro-optical multilayer structure (102) arranged to guide light out from said light emitting semiconductor structure (104), said micro-optical multilayer structure (102) comprising a plurality of layers, wherein an i+1:th layer is arranged on top an i:th layer in a sequence as seen from said semiconductor structure (104), wherein a refractive index, ni, of the i:th layer is greater than a refractive index, ni+1, of the i+1:th layer, and wherein a thickness of the i+1:th layer is greater than a thickness of the i:th layer. The present invention also relates to a light emitting diode comprising such a light emitting diode component.
