PHOSPHORS FOR WARM WHITE EMITTERS
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating light-emitting devices, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) chips fabricated to emit blue light;
preparing a phosphor-containing material comprising a matrix material having dispersed therein a mixture of a red phosphor and a green phosphor in a fixed ratio to each other; and
disposing different thicknesses of the phosphor-containing material on different ones of the LED chips,wherein the fixed ratio is chosen such that LED chips having different thicknesses of the phosphor-containing material emit light characterized by different points along the Planckian locus in a CIE chromaticity diagram.

Abstract
A method for fabricating light-emitting devices includes obtaining a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) chips fabricated to emit blue light and preparing a phosphor-containing material comprising a matrix material having dispersed therein a mixture of a red phosphor and a green phosphor in a fixed ratio to each other. The method also includes disposing different thicknesses of the phosphor-containing material on different ones of the LED chips. The fixed ratio is chosen such that LED chips having different thicknesses of the phosphor-containing material emit light characterized by different points along the Planckian locus in a CIE chromaticity diagram.
