A method for forming an LED phosphor resin layer includes the following steps: (A) providing an upper mold, a lower mold, and an LED support, wherein the LED support supports an LED chip; (B) securing the LED support on the lower mold; (C) providing a phosphor resin material between the LED chip and an attaching surface of the upper mold; (D) aligning the upper mold with the lower mold, such that the phosphor resin material in part contacts the LED chip and in part attaches to the attaching surface of the upper mold, and that the LED chip and the attaching surface are apart from each other at a predetermined distance; and (E) heating the phosphor resin material. Accordingly, the phosphor resin layer so formed can have a thickness and configuration well controlled and that the problem of spatial color difference can be improved.
