Patent ID: 8587011

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a package which is translucent; a semiconductor light-emitting element provided in a recess in the package; a sealing member for sealing said semiconductor light-emitting element and filling the recess; and a sintered material film provided on a back surface of said package, for converting a wavelength of light emitted by said semiconductor light-emitting element to a predetermined wavelength, wherein the recess includes a bottom surface on which said semiconductor light-emitting element is mounted and a side surface surrounding the bottom surface, said sealing member includes a first wavelength conversion material for converting the wavelength of the light emitted by said semiconductor light-emitting element to a predetermined wavelength, and said sintered material film is composed of a second wavelength conversion material for converting, to the predetermined wavelength, the wavelength of the light emitted by said semiconductor light-emitting element and transmitted through said package, and a binder for sintering, the binder comprising an inorganic material, the light-emitting device further comprising a groove provided in the back surface of the package, for holding a third wavelength conversion material for converting the wavelength of the light emitted by said semiconductor light-emitting element to the predetermined wavelength.
