Abstract
Light emitting diode (LED) components include a submount, at least one or more LED chip wirebonded on a first surface of the submount to electrical traces at the edges of the submount, and a molded encapsulant which is devoid of a curved lens or hemispherical lens and can have outer or lateral walls co-planar with exterior walls of the submount. An LED component can have a viewing angle that is greater than 125°. A method of providing an LED component includes providing a substantially flat submount, attaching one or more LED chip over a first surface of the submount, dispensing an encapsulant over the first surface of the submount over the LED chips, applying a press over the encapsulant to apply a heat and/or pressure to the encapsulant, and molding the encapsulant over the first surface of the submount.
