Abstract
An electronic component (10) is formed by placing a cap (30) over a light generating device (16). The cap (30) has a top portion (32) that provides a lens (33). The lens (33) is transparent to the optical signal generated by the light generating device (16). The optical characteristics of the electronic component (10) can be adjusted by varying the relative position of the cap (30) over the light generating device (16).
