Patent ID: 7750551

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a base having a concave portion; a light emitting element disposed on the concave portion of the base; a phosphor containing transparent resin section containing a phosphor absorbing light emitted from the light emitting element and emitting light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the absorbed light; and a high-concentration phosphor-containing resin layer containing a phosphor for absorbing light emitted from the light emitting element and for emitting light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the absorbed light, and having a phosphor concentration higher than a phosphor concentration of the phosphor-containing transparent resin section; wherein a light intensity of light emitted from an upper surface of the light emitting element is higher than a light intensity of light emitted from a side surface of the light emitting element; the high-concentration phosphor-containing resin layer contacting an upper surface of the light emitting element; and the phosphor-containing transparent resin section contacting an upper surface of the high-concentration phosphor-containing resin layer and a side surface of the light emitting element.
