Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element, a phosphor layer, a reflective film, and a light-transmissive member. The light emitting element emits first light. The phosphor layer is provided on a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element, and contains a phosphor being excited by the first light to emit second light with a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the first light. The reflective film is provided on the phosphor layer, reflects the first light, and transmits the second light. The light-transmissive member is in contact with the reflective film.

Claims (35)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element emitting first light;

a phosphor layer provided on a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element, the phosphor layer comprising a phosphor being excited by the first light to emit second light with a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the first light;

a reflective film provided on the phosphor layer, the reflective film reflecting the first light and transmitting the second light; and

a light-transmissive member being in contact with the reflective film,

wherein the first light has a peak wavelength in a range of 435 nm to 480 nm and the second light has a wavelength longer than 550 nm, and

wherein, in an emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, an emission peak intensity of the first light emitted from the light-emitting element is 1/10 or less of an emission peak intensity of the second light.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in an emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, an emission peak intensity of the first light is 1/30 or more of an emission peak intensity of the second light.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an emission peak wavelength in an emission spectrum of the light-emitting device is substantially equal to an emission peak wavelength of the second light.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an emission spectrum of the light-emitting device is substantially equal to an emission spectrum of the second light.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a chromaticity of light emitted from the light-emitting device is within a quadrilateral region formed by connecting four points of (x=0.645, y=0.335), (x=0.665, y=0.335), (x=0.735, y=0.265), and (x=0.721, y=0.259) in an xy chromaticity coordinate system in a CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, and

wherein an emission intensity of the second light in a range of 555 nm to 600 nm includes a point which is 0.1 times or more as large as the emission peak intensity of the second light.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light-transmissive member has a plate shape.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light-transmissive member comprises glass.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , the light-emitting device further comprising a reflective member that covers a lateral surface of the light-emitting element, a lateral surface of the phosphor layer, and a lateral surface of the reflective film.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reflective film comprises a dielectric multilayer film.

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor layer has a width larger than a width of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element in a sectional view.

11. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor layer is made of a light-transmissive resin containing phosphor particles.

12. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor layer has a thickness between 30 and 150 μm.

13. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor comprises a nitride phosphor.

14. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphor layer is disposed on the light-emitting element with an adhesive layer sandwiched therebetween.

15. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 ,

wherein the adhesive layer covers side surfaces of the light-emitting element.
