Patent ID: 8039858

Claim:
A light-emitting device, comprising: a package having a recess present in an upper face; a chip mounted on a bottom face of the recess to emit light having a first wavelength; and a resin member present in the recess; wherein the resin member comprises first fluorescent particles, second fluorescent particles, and third fluorescent particles that emit light having mutually different wavelengths longer than the first wavelength when light having the first wavelength is incident on the first, second, and third fluorescent particles, substantially all of the first, second, and third fluorescent particles are present on the bottom face of the recess in the form of a layer that covers the chip, an average particle size of the first fluorescent particles is smaller than an average particle size of the second fluorescent particles and the average particle size of the second fluorescent particles is smaller than an average particle size of the third fluorescent particles, and a density of the first fluorescent particles is higher than a density of the second fluorescent particles and the density of the second fluorescent particles is higher than a density of the third fluorescent particles.
