Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting element emitting an excitation light and a fluorescent element. The fluorescent element includes a semi-translucent film facing the light emitting element, and transmits the excitation light; a first luminescent film including phosphors to absorb the excitation light transmitted through the semi-translucent film and to emit a visible light having a different wavelength than the excitation light; and a reflection film disposed on an opposite side of the first luminescent film on which the semi-translucent film is disposed, reflecting the excitation light transmitted through the first luminescent film towards the first luminescent film.

Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device, includes an active layer radiating a light having a predetermined wavelength; a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, provided on the active layer. A semiconductor substrate has a first principal surface in contact with the active layer, a second principal surface facing the first principal surface, and side surfaces connected to the second principal surface. Each of the side surfaces has a bevel angle in a range from about 45 degrees to less than 90 degrees with respect to the second principal surface. A second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type is provided under the active layer. A first electrode is provided under the second semiconductor layer. A distance between the active layer and the first electrode depends on the wavelength and a refractive index of the second semiconductor layer.
