Mold compound with fluorescent material and a light-emitting device made therefrom

A phosphor composition and light emitting device utilizing that composition is disclosed. The composition includes a suspension of phosphor particles that are uniformly distributed in a transparent medium that includes an epoxy, and a diffusive agent that includes diffusive particles of a transparent material. In one embodiment, the diffusive particles have a median particle size between 1 mum-5 mum. The diffusive agent can be made from both inorganic and organic material such as Barium Titanate, titanium Oxide, aluminum oxide, silicone oxide, calcium carbonate, melanin resin, CTU guanamine resin or benzoguanamine resin. Embodiments that further include adhesion promoters, hydrophobic agents, thixotropic agents and UV inhibitors are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the composition is in the form of a pellet suitable for transfer molding.
