Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to illumination devices, and particularly directed to illumination devices utilizing light transmissive layers and methods for making the same. An illumination device and method for making the device are disclosed. The device, in particular, includes a substrate and conductive region disposed on the substrate. One or more light sources, such as LEDs, are disposed on a surface of the substrate and electrically coupled to the electrically conductive region for supply of electric current. The device also includes one or more light transmissive layers disposed on the substrate and the at least one light source to encapsulate light sources and also to control characteristics of light delivery from the light sources as light passes through the light transmissive layers.
