Abstract

A light-emitting device is provided, which includes a package having a first portion and a second portion surrounding it, a semiconductor light-emitting element mounted on the first portion and emitting a light having an emission peak in a near-ultraviolet region, a transparent resin layer covering the semiconductor light-emitting element and contacted with the package, and a laminated body formed on the transparent resin layer with end faces of the laminated body being contacted with the second portion. The transparent resin layer has an arch-like outer profile perpendicular cross section. The laminated body has an arch-like outer profile in perpendicular cross section and comprises a red fluorescent layer, a yellow fluorescent layer, a green fluorescent layer and a blue fluorescent layer laminated in the mentioned order. The yellow fluorescent layer has a top portion which is made larger in thickness than that of the end face portions thereof.

Claims (9)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a package having, on a surface thereof, a first portion and a second portion surrounding the first portion;

a semiconductor light-emitting element mounted on the first portion and emitting a light having an emission peak at a near-ultraviolet region;

a transparent resin layer covering the semiconductor light-emitting element and contacted with the first portion and the second portion, the transparent resin layer having an arch-like outer profile, as seen in a cross section when cut perpendicularly to the surface; and

a laminated body formed on the transparent resin layer with end faces of the laminated body being contacted with the second portion, the laminated body having an arch-like outer profile, as seen in a cross section when cut perpendicularly to the surface and comprising a red fluorescent layer, a yellow fluorescent layer, a green fluorescent layer and a blue fluorescent layer which are laminated in the mentioned order, the yellow fluorescent layer having a center portion larger in thickness than thicknesses of end face portions of the yellow fluorescent layer.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the yellow fluorescent layer, a thickness of the center portion is at least 1.5 times larger than that of the end faces.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in yellow fluorescent layer, a thickness of the center portion is not more than four times larger than that of the end faces.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the yellow fluorescent layer, a thickness of the center portion thereof is twice larger than that of the end faces.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a wavelength of the light emitted from the semiconductor light-emitting element is confined within the range of 375-420 nm.
