When the coating material 22 is made of glass, it is possible to use so-called sol-gel glass, which is produced by the sol-gel method that enables glass synthesis at a relatively low temperature. The sol-gel method is, for example, to make a polymer formed from a metal-oxygen bond by utilizing hydrolysis and polymerization reaction of a metal organic compound such as metal alkoxide, metal acetylacetonate, and metal carboxylate. For example, a metal organic compound of the general formula M (OR) n (M: metal element, R: alkyl group, n: oxidation number of metal), water (for hydrolysis), methanol as a solvent, DMF (dimethylformamide) ), A homogeneous transparent sol solution prepared by mixing ammonia, etc. as a modifier for the hydrolysis / polymerization reaction, and the sol solution is hydrolyzed and polymerized to cause gelation and formation of a hard glassy inorganic film. Sol-gel glass is formed. By properly selecting the composition of the alkyl group (R) and the like, a sol-gel glass suitable for the coating material 22 can be obtained.

In the second LED 30 described above, the phosphor layer 32 is adhered and formed on the surface of the coating material 22.
This is to improve the luminous intensity of. That is, when the phosphor 24 is mixed in the coating material 22 in a dispersed state like the first LED 10, part of the ultraviolet light emitted from the LED chip 16 does not hit the phosphor 24. Since it may be emitted to the outside of the coating material 22, the conversion efficiency from ultraviolet light to visible light is not good, and a part of the visible light converted from ultraviolet light hits the phosphor 24 inside the coating material 22. , Other phosphors before passing through the inside of the coating material 22 and exiting to the outside of the coating material 22.
It may be absorbed by hitting 24, and as a result,
The brightness of the LED may be insufficient. Also, phosphor
The ultraviolet light emitted to the outside of the coating material 22 without hitting the 24 may deteriorate the outer package 28 made of an organic material such as a translucent epoxy resin. On the other hand, in the second LED 30 according to the present invention, since the phosphor layer 32 is adhered and formed on the surface of the coating material 22, the LED chip 16
The ultraviolet light emitted from and transmitted through the coating material 22 is
Since it always hits the phosphor layer 32 on the surface of the coating material 22,
The conversion efficiency from ultraviolet light to visible light becomes high, and the visible light converted by the phosphor layer 32 immediately exits the phosphor layer 32 and enters the exterior body 28, so that the visible light extraction efficiency is high. Also improves. As a result, the light intensity of the second LED 30 can be remarkably improved as compared with the first LED 10. Further, as described above, since the conversion efficiency from ultraviolet light to visible light becomes high, it is possible to prevent the exterior body 28 made of an organic material from being deteriorated by the ultraviolet light which is not converted into visible light.
