A first conductive layer formed of a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective conductive film is provided in a first light-emitting element region, so that the intensity of light in a specific wavelength region is increased with a cavity effect. As a result, the light-emitting device as a whole can emit desired light. When the first conductive layer is formed using a material with low electric resistance, voltage drop in a transparent conductive layer in the light-emitting device can be prevented. Accordingly, a light-emitting device with less emission unevenness can be manufactured. By applying such a structure to a white-light-emitting device, desired white light emission or white light emission with an excellent color rendering property can be obtained. Further, a large-area lighting device including a white-light-emitting device with less emission unevenness can be provided.
