Patent ID: 7279350

Claim:
A white light emitting device for emitting white-light of at least a first color component with a range of first wavelengths, a second color component with a range of second wavelengths and a third color component with a range of third wavelengths, the first wavelengths shorter than the second wavelengths, the second wavelengths shorter than the third wavelengths, the white light emitting device comprising: a baseboard; a first light emitting device, disposed on the baseboard, having a first light source for emitting the first color component, and a second light source for emitting the second color component; a transparent passivation layer with a substantially planar surface overlying the first light emitting device; and a second light emitting device, disposed on the substantially planar surface of the transparent passivation layer, having a third light source for emitting the third color component responsive to the first and the second components.
