ABSTRACT:
A light emitting packaged diode ids disclosed that includes a light emitting diode mounted in a reflective package in which the surfaces adjacent the diode are near-Lambertian reflectors. An encapsulant in the package is bordered by the Lambertian reflectors and a phosphor in the encapsulant converts frequencies emitted by the LED chip and, together with the frequencies emitted by the LED chip, produces white light. A substantially flat meniscus formed by the encapsulant defines the emitting surface of the packaged diode.
