Patent ID: 8324797

Claim:
A white light emitting diode (LED) comprising: a reflector cup; an LED chip mounted on a bottom surface of the reflector cup; transparent resin surrounding the LED chip; a phosphor layer formed on the transparent resin; and a light transmitting layer having an embossing pattern formed on the phosphor layer in a manner such that the embossing pattern covers an upper surface of the phosphor layer, the light transmitting layer transmitting light therethrough, incident from the phosphor layer, in an upward direction, wherein the embossing pattern comprises a plurality of spherical particles made of a same material as that of the transparent resin and having diameters of about 5 to about 100 μm, wherein the spherical particles forming the light transmitting layer are disposed above the transparent resin and separated therefrom by the phosphor layer interposed between the light transmitting layer and the transparent resin, wherein a ratio of the radius of the spherical particles to a height of the embossing pattern from the surface of the phosphor layer is 0.6 or more.
