At least some individual emitters are respectively assigned a section of the semiconductor body and a current regulating element's connected in series therewith, such that, during operation of the individual emitters as intended, an electrical operating current I0 fed to the individual emitter in each case flows completely through the assigned section of the semiconductor body and in the process a voltage drop UH occurs at the section and at least part of said operating current I0 flows through the assigned current regulating element and experiences an electrical resistance RS in the process. In the case of the individual emitters, the current regulating element assigned in each case is configured such that the resistance Rg at an operating temperature T0 has a positive temperature coefficient dRS/dT|T0. Alternatively or additionally, the resistance RS is greater than IΔUH/I0, wherein ΔUH is the change in the voltage drop UH at the assigned section of the semiconductor body in the event of an increase in the temperature T of the individual emitter from an operating temperature T0 by 1 K.
