Patent ID: 8368104

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a semiconductor light emitting element to emit a first light; a mounting member, the semiconductor light emitting element being placed on the mounting member; a first wavelength conversion layer provided between the semiconductor light emitting element and the mounting member in contact with the mounting member, the first wavelength conversion layer absorbing the first light and emitting a second light having a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the first light; a second wavelength conversion layer, the semiconductor light emitting element being disposed between at least a part of the second wavelength conversion layer and the first wavelength conversion layer, the second wavelength conversion layer absorbing the first light and emitting a third light having a wavelength longer than the wavelength of the first light; and a first transparent layer provided between the semiconductor light emitting element and the second wavelength conversion layer, the first transparent layer being transparent to the first light, the second light, and the third light.
