Patent ID: 7926973

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting apparatus comprising: a substrate having a conductive member including a chip mounting area and an electrode area; a semiconductor light emitting device chip located adjacent the chip mounting area on the substrate and the semiconductor light emitting device chip having a top surface, a bottom surface opposed to the top surface, and a side surface extending downward and at an angle with respect to the top surface and continuously from the top surface to the bottom surface; a reflector located adjacent the substrate and configured to substantially surround the semiconductor light emitting device chip; and a wavelength converting material and a light diffusing material located adjacent the reflector, wherein the semiconductor light emitting device chip is configured to emit light only from the top surface, a first light transmitting resin layer containing the wavelength converting material is located only on the top surface of the semiconductor light emitting device chip and is spaced from and does not substantially extend onto the side surface of the semiconductor light emitting device, the first light transmitting resin layer consists essentially of light transmitting resin and the wavelength converting material, and the first light transmitting resin layer is coated and cured on the top surface of the semiconductor light emitting device chip such that a mid portion of the first light transmitting resin layer bulges upward and away from the top surface of the semiconductor light emitting device chip due to surface tension; and a second light transmitting resin layer consists essentially of light transmitting resin and the light diffusing material, and the second light transmitting resin layer is located adjacent the reflector and over the first light transmitting resin layer.
