Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light-emitting device includes a substrate, a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate, and a sealing member for sealing the light-emitting element. The sealing member contains at least a particulate red phosphor. The red phosphor contains at least a Mn 4+ -activated fluoride complex phosphor. The sealing member has an upper surface with irregularities on at least part of the upper surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A light-emitting device comprising: a substrate; a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate; and a sealing member for sealing the light-emitting element; wherein the sealing member contains at least a particulate red phosphor, the red phosphor contains at least a Mn 4+ -activated fluoride complex phosphor, the Mn 4+ -activated fluoride complex phosphor is formed into particles, and the sealing member has an upper surface with convex portions that are formed by including the particles of the Mn 4+ -activated fluoride complex phosphor in the sealing member on at least part of the upper surface. 2 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a level of the upper surface of the sealing member with respect to the light-emitting element decreases from a circumferential edge of the sealing member in plan view toward a center of the sealing member in plan view, and the red phosphor is distributed uniformly in the sealing member. 3 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member further contains a green phosphor. 4 . The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein the red phosphor is contained in an amount of two times or more and four times or less an amount of the green phosphor on a mass basis. 5 . The light-emitting device according to any of claim 1 , wherein the sealing member further contains a sealing resin, and the sealing resin has a viscosity of 2,000 (mPa·s) or more and 7,000 (mPa·s) or less. 6 - 10 . (canceled) 11 . The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the volume-based median diameter of the Mn 4+ -activated fluoride complex phosphor is 10 μm or more and 90 μm or less.
