METHOD OF MAKING LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE WITH SILICON-CONTAINING ENCAPSULANT

Application 2119/CHENP/2007 published 2007-09-07, filed 2007-05-17
A method of making a light emitting device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a light emitting diode and forming an encapsulant in contact with the light emitting diode; wherein forming the encapsulant includes contacting the light emitting diode with a photopolymerizable composition consisting of a silicon-containing resin and a metal-containing catalyst, wherein the silicon-containing resin consists of silicon-bonded hydrogen and aliphatic unsaturation, and applying actinic radiation having a wavelength of 700 nm or less to initiate hydrosilylation within the silicon-containing resin.
