Patent ID: 8268644

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a light emitting device including a light emitting element and a mixed resin mixed with phosphor particles capable of absorbing an emitted light from the light emitting element and emitting wavelength-converted light, the light emitting device being operable to emit mixed light including the emitted light and the wavelength-converted light, the method comprising: measuring at least one of each wavelength of the emitted light of the light emitting element while covering at least a surface of the light emitting element with the mixed resin, each optical output of the emitted light of the light emitting element, and each chromaticity of the mixed light emitted through the mixed resin after in a manufacturing process of the light emitting device; and adjusting chromaticity for each light emitting device by forming a scattering region in a surface neighborhood of the mixed resin or thereabove with regard to the mixed resin, on basis of a result obtained in the measuring, so that the chromaticity of the mixed light falls within a preset prescribed range, wherein the method further comprising; previously determining dependence of chromaticity of the mixed light on at least one of wavelength of the emitted light and optical output of the emitted light, and determining a respectively required amount of the phosphor particles for setting the chromaticity of the mixed light within the prescribed range on basis of the determined dependence of the chromaticity of the mixed light, and the measured at least one of the wavelength and the optical output for each light emitting element, the adjusting including covering the light emitting element respectively with the mixed resin mixed with the required amount of the phosphor particles.
