Wavelength-converting light emitting diode (LED) chip and LED device equipped with chip

A wavelength-converted light emitting diode (LED) chip comprising:

• an LED chip for emitting light in a predetermined wavelength region;
• and
• a wavelength-converted layer formed of a resin containing phosphors of at least one kind which converts a portion of the light emitted from the LED chip into light in a different wavelength region, disposed on an upper surface of the LED chip, and having a convex meniscus-shaped upper surface whose boundary is defined by an edge of the upper surface of the LED chip,
• wherein a plurality of uneven portions are formed in the upper surface of the LED chip,
• wherein the phosphors of the at least one kind comprise phosphors of various kinds for converting light in the predetermined wavelength region into light in different wavelength regions,
• wherein the wavelength-converted layer comprises at least two resin layers containing the different phosphors, respectively, and
• wherein the at least two resin layers comprise a first resin layer containing first phosphors and a second resin layer containing at least one second phosphor,
• the first resin layer comprises a first convex meniscus-shaped upper surface located in an inner region on the upper surface of the LED chip, and the second resin layer is formed on the first resin layer and comprises a second convex meniscus-shaped upper surface whose boundary is defined by an edge of the upper surface of the LED chip.
