Abstract
A method of adapting light extraction LEE from at least one light emitting diode with surface area S and perimeter P includes a step to encapsulate the light emitting diode with an encapsulation layer with a refraction index N, the refraction index N being determined based on a model taking account of an internal quantum efficiency of the light emitting diode. The extraction of light resulting from use of the encapsulation layer is such that the light emitting diode can achieve a predetermined external quantum efficiency.
