Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention is based on recognition of that problem. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a semiconductor light emitting device comprising at least a semiconductor light emitting element and a fluorescent material portion including a fluorescent material excited by light from the semiconductor light emitting element and ensuring a uniform color tone.

Problems solved by technology

These devices, however, are subjected to differences in thickness of fluorescent materials through which light from semiconductor light emitting elements pass, and involve the problem of variance in color tone depending on view angles.
Especially with white light emitting devices, variance in color tone is more visible, and it has been inconvenient that color tone changes depending upon view angles.
