Light emitting device

Abstract

A light emitting device having a light-emitting element, a covering resin covering the light-emitting element, a wavelength converting material contained in the covering resin, and a light diffusing agent contained in the covering resin is provided. The light diffusing agent contains glass particles. A first refractive index n1 of the covering resin at a peak wavelength of a light emitted by the light-emitting element and at 25° C. is in a range of 1.48 to 1.60, a second refractive index n2 of the covering resin at the peak wavelength and at 100° C. is at least 0.0075 lower than the first refractive index n1, and a third refractive index n3 of the light diffusing agent at the peak wavelength and at 25° C. is higher than the first refractive index n1.
