`*“3‘
`
`This office action is responsive to filling of the application on August 27, 2009. Claims
`
`1-14 are pending.
`
`Claims l—l4 are allowed.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter:
`
`The references of record, alone or in combination, do not fairly anticipatively disclose
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`each and every aspect of the claimed light emitting diode, or fairly make a prima facie obvious
`
`case of the claimed light emitting diode, in combination with other claimed limitations as recited
`
`in base claim 1, the inclusion of having a transparent material covering said LED chip, and a
`
`phosphor contained in said transparent material and absorbing a part of light emitted by said
`
`LED chip and emitting light of wavelength different from that of the absorbed light; wherein the
`
`main emission peak of said LED chip is within the range from 400 nm to 530 nm, a
`
`concentration of said phosphor in the vicinity of said LED chip is larger than a concentration of
`
`said phosphor in the vicinity of the surface of said transparent material, and said phosphor
`
`diffuses the light from said LED chip and suppresses a formation of an emission pattern by a
`
`partial blocking of the light by said electrode.
