Patent ID: 7710016

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a substrate; a positive electrode and a negative electrode formed on said substrate; a light emitting diode connected to said positive electrode and said negative electrode; a transparent layer covering said light emitting diode; and a fluorescent material dispersed in said transparent layer, so as to excite said fluorescent material dispersed in said transparent layer by means of the light emitted by said light emitting diode to emit light of a color different from that of the light emitted by said light emitting diode; wherein said transparent layer covering said light emitting diode comprises a first transparent layer including said fluorescent material and a second transparent layer formed on said first transparent layer; said second transparent layer is formed to have a curved shape so as to form a lens on the top surface thereof; and said substrate, said first transparent layer and said second transparent layer are cut to have a coplanar face on a pair of opposed side faces of said light emitting device so that said first transparent layer including said fluorescent material is exposed.
