Abstract: Various embodiments may relate to A light-emitting diode, including an LED chip having at least one emitter surface for emitting primary light, and a plurality of luminescent regions, which are connected optically downstream from the at least one emitter surface. At least one harder one of the luminescent regions is embedded in another, softer one of the luminescent regions.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a lighting unit is provided. The lighting unit may include a hollow body made of a plastics material as a substrate, which hollow body has an outer surface and an opposite inner surface, wherein the latter at least partially delimits a hollow body internal volume, a plurality of light emitting diodes, which are arranged on the outer surface of the hollow body, and a conductor track structure, which is electrically conductively connected to the light emitting diodes. The conductor track structure is arranged on the inner surface of the hollow body, and the electrically conductive connection to the light emitting diodes is produced by through-contacts, which are passed through the plastics material.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a lighting device includes at least one laser light source and a light wavelength conversion element. The light wavelength conversion element includes phosphor which is arranged on a surface region of a substrate and is used for wavelength conversion of the light emitted by the at least one laser light source. The light wavelength conversion element has a greater thickness at the edge of the surface region, provided with phosphor, of the substrate than at the surface centroid of the surface region, provided with phosphor, of the substrate. The thickness is respectively measured perpendicularly to the surface region, provided with phosphor, of the substrate.
