Abstract:
Solid state lighting (SSL) devices and methods of manufacturing SSL devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an SSL device comprises a support having a surface and a solid state emitter (SSE) at the surface of the support. The SSE can emit a first light propagating along a plurality of first vectors. The SSL device can further include a converter material over at least a portion of the SSE. The converter material can emit a second light propagating along a plurality of second vectors. Additionally, the SSL device can include a lens over the SSE and the converter material. The lens can include a plurality of diffusion features that change the direction of the first light and the second light such that the first and second lights blend together as they exit the lens. The SSL device can emit a substantially uniform color of light.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of manufacturing a solid state lighting (SSL) device, comprising:\n positioning a solid state emitter (SSE) at a surface of a support, the support having a centerline axis projecting normal to the surface;\n wherein the solid state emitter has a first side and a second side opposite the second side, the first being at the surface of the support, and the SSE emits a first light propagating away from the surface of the support along a plurality of first vectors; \n positioning a first lens over the SSE; covering at least a portion of the second side of the SSE a with a converter material;\n wherein the converter material emits a second light propagating along a plurality of second vectors; and \n positioning a dome-shaped second lens over the SSE, the first lens, and the converter material, the second lens having a plurality of diffusion features that are configured to change the direction of the first light and the second light propagating along the first and second vectors, respectively, such that the first light and the second light blend together as they exit the second lens, wherein an exterior surface of the second lens has an irregular or erratic complex curvature and the diffusion features are formed in a random pattern and wherein the diffusion features are configured at different angles relative to the SSE such that the second propagating light propagating along the second vectors at an emission angle \u03b8 changes direction away from the center line axis and intersects with the second light propagating along the second vectors having an emission angle greater than  0  and with the first light propagating along the first vectors away from the center line axis.
