Multiple Lenses Molded Over LED Die

A light emitting device formed by the method comprising:

• providing a light emitting diode (LED) die attached to a support structure;
• molding a first lens directly over the LED die by compression molding, wherein a first mold is first filled with a first lens material, then the LED die is immersed into the first lens material under compression, thereafter the first lens material is cured, and the LED die and first lens are separated from the first mold, wherein no liquid channel for the first lens material leads to the first mold such that there is no excess first lens material from a liquid channel immediately after the LED die and first lens are separated from the first mold;
• the first lens encapsulating the LED die, the first lens being formed of a first material and having an outer surface;
• and
• molding a second lens directly over the first lens by compression molding to substantially completely cover the outer surface of the first lens, wherein a second mold is first filled with a second lens material, then the LED die and first lens are immersed into the second lens material under compression, thereafter the second lens material is cured, and the LED die, first lens, and second lens are separated from the second mold, wherein no liquid channel for the second lens material leads to the second mold such that there is no excess second lens material from a liquid channel immediately after the LED die, first lens, and second lens are separated from the second mold, the second lens being formed of a second material.
