Patent ID: 7855501

Claim:
A light-emitting device, comprising: a substrate; a light-emitting element that is mounted on the substrate and comprises a luminous region and a nonluminous region; and a phosphor layer that is formed to cover the light-emitting element and includes a phosphor, wherein a thickness of the phosphor layer located on the nonluminous region is smaller than that of the phosphor layer located on the luminous region, the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the luminous region is constant, the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the nonluminous region is constant, a surface of the phosphor layer located on the luminous region is flat, and a surface of the phosphor layer located on the nonluminous region is flat, wherein the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the nonluminous region is ⅓ to ⅔ of the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the luminous region, wherein the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the nonluminous region is 60 to 100 μm and the thickness of the phosphor layer located on the luminous region is 100 to 150 μm.
