Patent ID: 8657455

Claim:
An LED lamp comprising: a lamp body; a base provided on one end of the lamp body; a light transmissive cover provided on an opposite side of the lamp body from the base; a light source substrate disposed inside the light transmissive cover; and at least one LED unit mounted on the light source substrate, wherein the LED unit comprises an LED chip and a light transmissive encapsulant encapsulating the LED chip, wherein the LED chip is mounted on the light source substrate, wherein the encapsulant is molded such that the encapsulant is raised from the light source substrate, wherein the LED unit radiates light from an entire surface of the encapsulant in an angular range including a region around a periphery of the LED unit, wherein a lateral-view projected area of the encapsulant is 30% to 125% of a plan-view projected area of the encapsulant, wherein the LED chip emits ultraviolet or near ultraviolet visible light, and the encapsulant contains a plurality of kinds of phosphors to wavelength-convert the light emitted by the LED chip to white visible light, and wherein the plurality of kinds of phosphors includes a first phosphor which absorbs the light emitted by the LED chip and emits blue visible light having a peak wavelength in a range of 560 nm to 600 nm, and a second phosphor which absorbs the light emitted by the LED chip and emits yellow visible light having a peak wavelength in a range of 430 nm to 480 nm.
