A method of forming a phosphor coating layer on a light emitting diode (LED) chip using electrophoresis includes separating phosphor particles in a suspension according to a particle size, and coating the phosphor particles on a surface of the LED chip by sequentially depositing the separated phosphor particles on the surface of the LED chip according to the particle size. An apparatus to form a phosphor coating layer on an LED chip includes an electrophoresis bath to accommodate a suspension containing phosphor particles separated into layers according to a particle size, and electrodes disposed inside the electrophoresis bath. The electrodes may include a cathode electrode on which the LED chip may be arranged, and an anode electrode.
