Light emitting diode, method for fabricating phosphor layer, and lighting apparatus

摘要

A light emitting diode includes: a light emitting diode chip including a substrate and a light emission structure disposed on the substrate; and a phosphor layer formed to cover at least one surface of a diode upper surface and a diode lower surface, when a surface formed by the light emitting diode chip, when viewed from above the light emission structure, is defined as the diode upper surface and a surface formed by the light emitting diode chip, when viewed from below the substrate is defined as the diode lower surface. The phosphor layer is formed in a manner such that the phosphor layer does not deviate from the diode upper surface or the diode lower surface and has a flat surface parallel to the diode upper surface or the diode lower surface and a curved surface connecting the flat surface to corners of the diode upper surface or the diode lower surface.
