The LED package includes a package mold, an LED chip located on a surface of the package mold, and a wavelength converter located on the surface of the package mold and separated from the LED chip. The wavelength converter includes a first barrier layer located on the surface of the package mold, a wavelength conversion layer located on the first barrier layer, and a second barrier layer located on the wavelength conversion layer.

Abstract: A silicate phosphor composition is provided having a ?-phase of an orthorhombic crystal structure whose space group is Pbnm 62, and whose composition is represented by the following chemical formula: Ca2-x-y-zMxSiO4:yCe3+,zN(0?x<0.5,0<y?0.1,0?z<0.15) In the formula, M represents at least one member selected from the group consisting of Mg, Sr, Ba, Zn, Na, Al, Ga, Ge, P, As and Fe, and N represents at least one member selected from the group consisting of Eu2+, Mn2+, Tb3+, Yb2+ and Tm3+. The silicate phosphor has a maximum absorbance for a wavelength of about 450 nm to about 475 nm corresponding to a main part of a blue excitation light, and has a great stability at a high temperature. As such the silicate phosphor may be used in combination with a blue light source to produce a white light.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a nanophosphor includes: contacting a nanophosphor raw material and a flux to form a mixture, sintering the mixture to form a nanoprecursor, ball-milling the nanoprecursor, and drying the ball-milled nanoprecursor to form the nanophosphor, wherein an average particle size of the nanophosphor is equal to or more than about 50 nanometers (nm) and equal to or less than about 7 micrometers (um).
