Provided are a
phosphor-containing capable of suppressing deterioration of phosphors and can be manufactured with high efficiency and a backlight unit. Specifically, provided is a
phosphor-containing film 1, including a first substrate film 10; and a
phosphor-containing layer 30 at which a plurality of regions 35 containing phosphors 31, which, if exposed to
oxygen, deteriorate by reacting with the
oxygen, are discretely disposed on the first substrate film 10, and at which a resin layer 38 having an impermeability to
oxygen is disposed between the discretely disposed regions 35 containing phosphors 31, in which a width S of the resin layer 38 between the regions 35 containing phosphors 31 is 0.01≤S<0.5 mm, and wherein a ratio of a volume Vp of the regions containing phosphors, to a sum of the volume Vp and a volume Vb of the resin layer in the phosphor-containing layer, is 0.1≤Vp / (Vp+Vb)<0.9.
