Abstract: A light emitting diode includes first and second electrical terminals of which the first terminal forms a support. A light emitting diode die is mounted on the support of the first terminal and is connected to the second terminal by a conductive wire for emitting a first light. An encapsulation is formed around the die. A phosphor layer is formed on the support and interposed between the die and the support. The phosphor receives a portion of the first light and in turn gives off a second light that is selectively different from the first light for combining with the first light that travels out of the encapsulation to control brightness and color of the light projecting out of the encapsulation. Thus, a stable lighting may be achieved and mass production of quality-controlled light emitting diodes is made possible.
