Led lighting apparatus and method for fabricating wavelength conversion member for use in the same

Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) lighting apparatus is provided. The LED lighting apparatus includes at least one LED, and a wavelength conversion member spaced apart from the LED and configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from the LED. The wavelength conversion member includes a light-transmitting member, and a transfer molded wavelength conversion layer disposed on at least one surface of the light-transmitting member. The transfer molded wavelength conversion layer includes a resin and a phosphor.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A light-emitting diode (LED) lighting apparatus, comprising:
 at least one LED; and   a wavelength conversion member spaced apart from the LED and configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from the LED,   wherein the wavelength conversion member comprises a light-transmitting member, and a transfer molded wavelength conversion layer disposed on at least one surface of the light-transmitting member, and   wherein the transfer molded wavelength conversion layer comprises a resin and a phosphor.   
     
     
         2 . The LED lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light-transmitting member comprises a glass or a plastic material. 
     
     
         3 . The LED lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light-transmitting member comprises an uneven pattern in a region which is covered with the transfer molded wavelength conversion layer. 
     
     
         4 . The LED lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light-transmitting member comprises an uneven pattern in a region which is not covered with the transfer molded wavelength conversion layer.
