Abstract
An illumination device includes an active layer, such as a blue LED, covered with a first luminescent ceramic converter layer and partially covered with a second luminescent ceramic converter layer. The first and second conversion layers convert primary photons emitted by the active layer into photons of different, longer wavelengths. The color point of the illumination device can be adjusted by adjusting the relative size of the second conversion layer.
