A multicolour LED is a miniaturized, long-lasting, and easy-to-achieve colour adjustable emission light source. It is widely used in outdoor displays and room lighting fields. However, the increase in the cost and the decrease in luminous efficiency when adjusting lighting colours have constrained the development of multicolour LEDs. In this study, we initially designed a phosphor conversion pixel array through optical simulation and then prepared the phosphor conversion pixel arrays with different layouts using a semi-cured template method. Finally, we packaged the phosphor conversion pixel array with the blue LED array as a remote phosphor LED. The measurement of the luminous performance indicated that the colour gamut of multicolour LEDs was included in the simulated colour gamut, and the colour of the light was consistent with the design guidelines. Notably, the multicolour LED emission efficiency packaged with a phosphor conversion pixel array could reach 125 lm/W, and the hexagonal phosphor conversion pixel array had better emission performance than the square phosphor conversion pixel array. • Based on the Monte Carlo principle, multicolour LEDs composed of array phosphor-converted film and blue-LED chip are designed. • Phosphor-converted pixel arrays are prepared by semi-cured template method with high moulding quality. • By comparing the experimental and simulation results, colour-tuneable characteristics of the multicolour LEDs is verified. • The luminous efficiency of multicolour LEDs reach up to 125.0 lm/W and changing pixel can reduce the secondary reabsorption of fluorescence.
