Light-emitting diode and lighting device including the same

A light-emitting diode comprising:

• a light-emitting element with a p-n junction;
• a first light-transmitting member comprising a phosphor, sealing the light-emitting element and having first and second parallel surfaces that are positioned parallel to each other, and first, second, and third perpendicular surfaces that extend perpendicularly to the first and second parallel surfaces between edges of the first parallel surface and edges of the second parallel surface;
• a first cover disposed on the first parallel surface of the first light-transmitting member and extending over the edge between the first parallel surface and the first perpendicular surface of the first light-transmitting member and extending over the edge between the first parallel surface and the second perpendicular surface of the first light-transmitting member;
• a second cover disposed on the second parallel surface of the first light-transmitting member and extending over the edge between the second parallel surface and the first perpendicular surface of the first light-transmitting member and extending over the edge between the second parallel surface and the second perpendicular surface,
• the p-n junction at a light-emitting surface of the p-n junction facing to the third perpendicular surface of the first light-transmitting member.
