Light emitting diode package with self dosing feature and methods of forming same

摘要

Light emitting diodes are prepared with specialized packages which provide a dosing feature with respect to a phosphor wavelength converting medium. Elements of the device package form a specially shaped cavity when coupled together. The shape and size of the cavity operates to control the dosing of phosphor spiked medium of soft gel. The gel fills the cavity such that light emitted from a semiconductor die is exposed to a similar cross section independent of the exact direction of light propagation. In this way, 'white' LED systems are formed from blue emitting diodes as highly controlled phosphor dosing permits precise amounts of blue light to be converted to yellow light without problems with angular uniformity observed in competing technologies.
