Abstract: Light from a semiconductor light-emitting element travels in all directions. Thus, light that travels in the directions other than a lighting direction cannot be used effectively. Means for forming a semiconductor light-emitting element having tilted side surfaces, and forming a reflective layer on the tilted side surfaces has been proposed. However, since the tilted surfaces are formed by an etching method or the like, it takes a long time to form the tilted surfaces, and it is difficult to control the tilted surfaces. As a solution to these problems, semiconductor light-emitting elements are placed on a submount substrate and sealed with a sealant, and then a groove is formed in a portion between adjoining ones of the semiconductor light-emitting elements. The grooves formed are filled with a reflective material, and a light-emitting surface is polished. Then, the submount substrate is divided into individual semiconductor light-emitting devices.

Abstract: A light-emitting module (1) includes a substrate (10), a plurality of light-emitting elements (14) formed on the substrate (10), and phosphor layers (15) covering each of the light-emitting elements (14). Each of the phosphor layers (15) includes a first phosphor region (15a) and a second phosphor region (15b) that are divided in the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate (10). Each of the first phosphor region (15a) and the second phosphor region (15b) includes a phosphor that absorbs light emitted from the light-emitting element (14) and emits fluorescence. The maximum peak wavelength of fluorescence emitted from the first phosphor region (15a) is longer than that of fluorescence emitted from the second phosphor region (15b).
