Abstract
The invention describes a method of manufacturing an LED module, comprising the steps of providing a translucent encapsulant comprising a number of layers to enclose a number of LEDs of the LED module; modifying the surface structure of an outer surface of a layer to form at least one dense scattering region corresponding to the position of an LED of the LED module; to form at least one sparse scattering region that does not correspond to the position of an LED of the LED module; and to form a transition scattering region between a dense scattering region and a sparse scattering region. The invention further describes an LED module, and a device comprising a device housing and at least one such LED module.
