Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by configuring multiple light-emitting chips at different heights relative to the molding layer, with at least one chip positioned at a first height and another chip at a second height different from the first height. This asymmetric vertical arrangement compensates for viewing angle dependencies, maintaining uniform color temperature and brightness appearance across different observation angles while remaining manufacturable through standard chip mounting processes.
