1. A light emitting device (LED) comprising:a light emitting semiconductor structure comprising a light-emitting active layer disposed between an n-layer and a p-layer;
a wavelength converting material having a first surface adjacent the light emitting semiconductor structure and a second surface opposite the first surface; and
an off state white material in direct contact with the second surface of the wavelength converting material, the off state white material comprising a plurality of core-shell particles disposed in an optically functional material, each of the core shell particles comprising a core material that includes a phase change material encased in a polymer or inorganic shell.
