Patent ID: 7754527

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an LED, comprising: providing an LED chip and a pair of electrodes having a chip mount portion; locating the LED chip adjacent the chip mount portion disposed on one of the pair of electrodes; electrically connecting the LED chip to the pair of electrodes; forming a transparent resin portion with a wavelength conversion material mixed therein in a manner such that the transparent resin portion substantially surrounds the LED chip, the transparent resin portion including a top surface being located above an upper surface of the LED chip, a bottom surface, and at least one side surface; positioning the LED chip in the transparent resin portion such that the LED chip is offset toward one side surface of the transparent resin portion; rotating the transparent resin portion such that the side surface of the transparent resin which the LED chip is offset toward is located in a downside direction and an opposed side surface of the transparent resin portion which is opposite to the side surface is located in an upside direction; and hardening the transparent resin portion, after rotating the resin portion, while the side surface of the transparent resin portion that is closer to the LED chip is located in the downside direction and the opposed side surface of the transparent resin portion which is opposite to the side surface is located in the upside direction.
