Abstract: A light emitting device and method of forming a light emitting device are disclosed. The light emitting device includes a light emitting diode and a phosphor layer formed on the light emitting diode, the phosphor layer including a plurality of phosphor particles formed in a particle layer, the particle layer including interstices between the phosphor particles, and a matrix material disposed in a portion of the interstices. A plurality of cavities may be disposed in a remaining portion of the interstices.

Abstract: A polymer dispersion layer is formed on a substrate or semiconductor light-emitting devices on the substrate. After forming the polymer dispersion layer, drying and curing the polymer dispersion layer forms a cured polymer layer. After curing and drying, with the cured polymer layer being present on only selected, masked areas of the substrate or light-emitting devices, and with other areas of the substrate or light-emitting devices lacking the cured polymer layer and remaining exposed, a material layer is formed on at least the exposed areas of the substrate or light-emitting devices. After forming the material layer, the cured polymer layer is removed from the masked areas, leaving the material layer on the exposed areas.

Abstract: A particle layer is positioned over a light output surface of a light emitting diode. A transparent protection layer positioned between and in contact with the light output surface and the particle layer. The particle layer comprises a multitude of optically scattering or luminescent particles and a thin coating layer of transparent material coating particles of the multitude. The particles are characterized by a D50 greater than about 1.0 ?m and less than about 30. ?m; the coating layer has a thickness less than about 0.20 ?m. The protection layer is less than about 0.05 ?m thick and includes one or more materials different from material of the coating layer. The protection and coating layers can each include one or more metal or semiconductor oxides. Oxide precursor reactivities, with respect to the corresponding light output surface, are less for protection layer material than for coating layer material.
