Patent ID: 7038246

Claim:
A light emitting apparatus, comprising: a light emitting element comprising a nitride semiconductor; a phosphor that absorbs light emitted from said light emitting element and emits light with a wavelength different from that of the absorbed light; a first reflection mirror that reflects the light emitted from said light emitting element to converge the light; a second reflection mirror that has a light passing hole at a position on which the light reflected on said first reflection mirror is converged and that has a reflection surface on the side opposite to the side facing said first reflection mirror; and a phosphor layer that includes said phosphor, said phosphor layer being placed over said light passing hole and at a region in a transparent resin in which part of light passing through said light passing hole is radiated, and wherein said second reflection mirror is disposed to allow light radiated from said phosphor layer to be reflected toward an emission observation surface.
