Wavelength converting composite member, and light emitting device and electronic instrument employing same

Abstract

Provided is a wavelength converting composite member including: a disk-shaped substrate; a first wavelength converting member provided on the substrate and containing a first phosphor that radiates fluorescence due to a parity-forbidden transition; and a second wavelength converting member provided on the substrate and containing a second phosphor that radiates fluorescence due to a parity-allowed transition. The first wavelength converting member and the second wavelength converting member are disposed adjacent to each other along the circumferential direction of the substrate. The first wavelength converting member and the second wavelength converting member are provided on the substrate in such a way that the position of the center of gravity of the entirety of the first wavelength converting member and the second wavelength converting member is located on the rotation axis of the substrate. A light emitting device is provided with the wavelength converting composite member.
