Patent ID: 7878876

Claim:
A method for producing a light emitting device, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a light emitting element of a semiconductor crystal for emitting light having a predetermined peak wavelength; preparing first phosphor particles for absorbing light emitted from the light emitting element and for emitting light having a longer peak wavelength than that of the light emitted from the light emitting element; preparing second phosphor particles for absorbing at least one of light emitted from the first phosphor particles and light emitted from the light emitting element and for emitting light having a longer peak wavelength than that of said at least one of the light emitted from the first phosphor particles and the light emitted from the light emitting element; bonding one side of the light emitting element to the bottom face of a cup of one of a pair of lead frames of a metal; putting the first phosphor particles on a metal tray; arranging the light emitting element, which is bonded to the bottom face of the cup of the one of the pair of lead frames, above the first phosphor particles, which are put on the metal tray, so as to face the first phosphor particles; charging the light emitting element, which is arranged above the first phosphor particles, to be positive while charging the first phosphor particles to be negative to cause the first phosphor particles to be electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the light emitting element to form a layer of the first phosphor particles thereon; and sealing the light emitting element and the first phosphor particles by means of a sealing member containing the second phosphor particles.
