Jun 10, 2023 at 9:40 comment added Gábor Just to add to the existing and accepted answer, COB LEDs were actually a very welcome new technology because this is what finally made it possible to have practically any shape of LED light with homogenous light output. For more light, you simply use a larger area but still get the same benefits. The automotive industry, among others, just couldn't wait to finally lay hands on a LED that can be shaped at will and will no longer emit a clearly visible string of small points.

In this picture you can easily count the 18 individual LEDs hiding under the phosphor, which illustrates the construction nicely.
