Cone cells of human eyes may be divided into three different photoreceptors according to light-absorbing pigments receiving the primary colors (red, green and blue) of a visible spectrum respectively, and colors are defined and described by these cone cells. To standardize the colors sensed by human eyes, COMMISSION INTERNATIONALE DE L'ECLAIRAGE, CIE) established in 1931 has created CIE1931 color spaces to simplify the simulation value XYX of the three primary colors and obtain a CIE1931 xy chromaticity diagram, which are common standard coordinates. In other words, if the CIE1931 xy chromaticity coordinates of a certain color are obtained, then color characters can be defined specifically in chromaticity. For example, the independent standards of white light must be defined in the field of illumination, and Planck's blackbody radiation is one of them. When the spectrum of a certain light source is the same as the spectrum of the blackbody radiation, the absolute temperature parameter of the surface of the blackbody may be used to define the color and spectrum of the light, so as to express light color by color temperature, know the color temperature and the chromaticity coordinates of the light source, and confirm the color characteristics of the light source.
Light emitting diode (LED) is a very popular light source for illumination lamps and generally emits a light with a narrow spectral range, so that a single LED can just emits a light with a fixed color tone, and the color mixing principle is used to select an LED light source for a lamp with the required color temperature. When an illumination lamp requires a specific color temperature, the lamp adopts white light LEDs with a single color temperature or different color temperatures to form a cold or warm color illumination light source. In design and manufacture, the lamp is intuitively designed with a white light source or each LED light source disposed on the lamp base is designed with a white light source in order to avoid the light mixing action that follows and non-uniform color temperature of the light produced the mixed light, and the light color of the white light LED is adjusted by mixing the primary colors (RGB) of the LED chip (RGB) or by mixing and supplementing the color light of the phosphor and the LED chip.

As described above, the design and manufacture of a single white LED light source are inconvenient, and thus the inventor of the present invention breaks through the conventional design concept and provides a method of manufacturing LED light emitting devices by using LEDs of different color lights and mixing the color lights to form the required color temperature of the white light. At first, the inventor of the present invention thinks of mixing two LEDs to form a white light. In this design, white light from a lamp is formed by mixing light of an independent LED chip with light of a LED having phosphor. For example, a red LED chip can be used as a red light source, and a blue LED chip packaged with a green phosphor can be used as a green light source, and both LED chips are installed and mixed to form a color temperature of the white light. However, the color temperature of the red light is fixed after the red independent LED chip is selected. And if it is necessary to make adjustment to cope with a different color temperature, one needs to make changes in the green phosphor of the other LED. However, in this color mixing method, the red light can only be linearly fined before packaging, and thus the degree of freedom for adjustment is very limited. To comply with the required color temperature, the adjustment for the green light portion takes much time, and the scope of adjusting the color temperature is limited. Based on the concept of mixing different color lights, the inventor of the present invention invented an LED light emitting device manufacturing method and an LED light emitting device in accordance with the present invention.
