Patent ID: 7462878

Claim:
A light-emitting diode chip comprising: a semiconductor layer sequence suitable for emitting primary electromagnetic radiation; and a converter layer that is applied to at least one main face of the semiconductor layer sequence, the converter layer comprising at least one phosphor suitable for converting a portion of the primary radiation into secondary radiation of a wavelength region that is at least partially different from that of the primary radiation, wherein at least a portion of the secondary radiation and at least a portion of the unconverted primary radiation overlap to form a mixed radiation with a resulting color space; wherein the converter layer is structured at least at a margin of the light-emitting diode chip to adjust a dependence of the resulting color space on viewing angle; and wherein the converter layer is structured so that the at least one main face comprises a band that extends along the edge of the light-emitting diode chip, the band comprising a reduced thickness of the converter layer or no converter layer compared to other regions on the at least one main face, and the band having a width of no more than one-tenth of an edge length of the light-emitting diode chip.
