Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device exhibiting a superior emission efficiency which enables easy adjustment of an emission spectrum. The above object is achieved by a light emitting device comprising a semiconductor light emitting element and a phosphor layer, which has an area A and an area B of different emission spectra, and in which a plurality of phosphor portions are disposed on a plane such that identical phosphor portions do not adjoin one another, and the surface area occupied by specific phosphor portions in the phosphor layer is different in area A and area B.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device which increases the emission efficiency of phosphor by reducing self-absorption of light by phosphor and by reducing absorption of fluorescent light by an encapsulating resin, and which increases the efficiency of light extraction from the phosphor layer by preventing light scattering caused by the phosphor. The above object was achieved by a light emitting device comprising a semiconductor light emitting element and a phosphor layer wherein the phosphor layer was made dense by setting specific values for particle distribution of phosphor contained in the phosphor layer and for the packing ratio of the phosphor contained in the phosphor layer.

Abstract: To provide a process for efficiently producing a toner for developing an electrostatic charge image, which is scarcely susceptible to aggregation of the toner and free from blocking during the storage or from soiling the image forming apparatus and which is excellent in image characteristics. A process for producing a toner for developing an electrostatic charge image, characterized by supplying a monomer into a dispersion containing wax and a polymerizable monomer having a C8-100 hydrocarbon group, carrying out the polymerization, followed by flocculation treatment.
