An exemplary light emitting package includes a base, an LED chip mounted on the base, an encapsulant layer encapsulating the LED chip and a phosphor layer located above and separated from the LED chip. The phosphor layer includes a phosphor scattered portion and a clear portion without phosphor therein. An area of the phosphor scattered portion is smaller than the light emitting area of the encapsulant layer from which light emitted upwardly from the LED chip leaves the encapsulant layer.
