Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a package having, on a surface thereof, a first portion surrounded by a second portion; a semiconductor blue color light-emitting element mounted on the first portion; a first transparent resin layer covering the semiconductor blue color light-emitting element and contacted with the first and second portions. The first transparent resin layer in cross section has an arch-like outer profile. A laminated body having in cross section an arch-like profile is formed on the first transparent resin layer with end faces of the laminated body being contacted with the second portion, and includes in order a red fluorescent layer, a yellow fluorescent layer, a second transparent resin layer and a green fluorescent layer, the second transparent resin layer having a center portion disposed between end face portions, the center portion having a larger thickness than thicknesses of the end face portions.

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 blue color region;

a first transparent resin layer covering the semiconductor light-emitting element and contacted with the first portion and the second portion, the first 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 first 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 second transparent resin layer and a green fluorescent layer which are laminated in the mentioned order, the second transparent resin layer having a center portion disposed between end face portions, the center portion of the second transparent resin layer having a larger thickness than thicknesses of the end face portions.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second transparent resin layer, a thickness of the center portion is at least 1.5 times larger than thicknesses of the end face portions.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second transparent resin layer, a thickness of the center portion is not more than four times larger than thicknesses of the end face portions.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second transparent resin layer, a thickness of the center portion is twice larger than thicknesses of the end face portions.

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 430-480 nm.
