Abstract

A dual green-blue light-emitting diode unit may include a first green-blue light-emitting diode and a second green-blue light-emitting diode. The first green-blue light-emitting diode may include a first green diode configured to emit green light at a first green wavelength, a first blue diode configured to emit blue light at a first blue wavelength, and a first conformal coating of red phosphor over the first green diode and the first blue diode. The second green-blue light-emitting diode may include a second green diode configured to emit green light at a second green wavelength different from the first green wavelength, a second blue diode configured to emit blue light at a second blue wavelength different from the first blue wavelength, and a second conformal coating of red phosphor over the second green diode and the second blue diode.
