  • Publication number: 20240102624
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a substrate, a light-emitting element, a wavelength conversion layer, a light adjustment member, a light-transmissive member, and a covering member. The light-emitting element includes first and second light-emitting portions. The wavelength conversion layer contains a first phosphor that performs wavelength conversion of first light emitted from the first light-emitting portion and second light emitted from the second light-emitting portion into third light. The light adjustment member is disposed partially over the wavelength conversion layer and overlaps one of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion in plan view. The light-transmissive member is disposed over the wavelength conversion layer and the light adjustment member. The covering member covers a side surface of the light-emitting element, a side surface of the wavelength conversion layer, a side surface of the light adjustment member, and a side surface of the light-transmissive member.

  • Patent number: 11879607
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element, the wavelength conversion member, and a light adjustment member. The light-emitting element includes a support substrate, and a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion disposed adjacent to each other. The wavelength conversion member is configured to perform wavelength conversion of first light emitted from the first light-emitting portion and second light emitted from the second light-emitting portion into third light. The light adjustment member overlaps one of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion in a plan view. In the light-emitting element, an emission intensity of the first light at a light emission peak wavelength of the second light is lower than an emission intensity of the second light at the light emission peak wavelength of the second light, during light emission of the light-emitting device.
