Tunable integrated optics led components and methods

Abstract

Light emitting diode (LED) devices and methods. An example apparatus can include a substrate, one or more LEDs, light-transmissive encapsulation material, and a reflective material covering a portion of the encapsulation material to form a defined opening. The opening allows light emitted from an LED to pass through in a prescribed manner. In some embodiments, the apparatus can be subsequently treated to modify the surface having the opening. In other embodiments, the reflective material can be disposed on a lateral surface of the encapsulation material to reflect light in a desired direction.
