Abstract

A light emitting diode and a method for making the same are proposed. The LED comprises an inorganic phosphor, a silicon compound and an organic glue. The silicon compound has one side being completely or partially C1-C6 alkyl oxide reacted with the inorganic phosphor to modify the surface property of the inorganic phosphor and another side being a functional group selected from a group consisting of epoxy, C1-C6 alkyl, phenyl, amino. The inorganic phosphor with modified surface property can be uniformly mixed in the glue and less deposition is produced.
