  • Publication number: 20130032837
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluorescent coating and a method for making the same. At first, fluorescent powder is mixed with an anti-electrostatic solution. The mixture is cleared of impurities before it is dried and sintered. Thus, the fluorescent powder is coated with the anti-electrostatic material. The fluorescent powder coated with the anti-electrostatic material is plated on a side of a light-emitting diode (“LED”) chip by electrophoresis, thus forming a mixing zone on the side of the LED chip. Hence, the mixing zone is not vulnerable to deterioration or itiolation when it is subjected to heat in use. Accordingly, the life of the LED chip is long, and the illumination of the LED chip is high.
