1. A light emitter package, comprising:
- a light emitter;
at least a package contact on said light emitter with no intervening submount between said at least a package contact and said light emitter; and
an encapsulant over said light emitter forming a shaped primary optic, wherein said at least a package contact is on said light emitter without directly contacting said encapsulant.

Abstract
A submount-free light emitter package with primary optic and method of fabricating the same are disclosed, these packages and methods comprising a light emitter with an optic. The optic may have a shape, which includes a portion that is wider at a point further from the light emitter than a point which is closer. The method includes a light emitter disposed on a carrier surface with at least one structure at least partially surrounding the light emitter. The encapsulant is over the light emitter forming a primary optic. The intermediate element at least partially defines the shape of the primary optic.

24. A light emitter package, comprising:
-
a light emitter; at least one structure at least partially surrounding said light emitter; an encapsulant over said light emitter forming a primary optic, said at least one structure at least partially defining the shape of said primary optic, wherein said primary optic is shaped such that at least a portion closer to a base of said primary optic is narrower than at least a portion closer to an exit face; and at least one package contact, said at least one package contact on said light emitter without directly contacting said encapsulant; wherein said package is submount free. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
