Light-emitting device and backlight including light-emitting device

A light-emitting device, comprising:

• a first light-emitting element having an emission peak wavelength of 430 nm or more and less than 490 nm;
• a second light-emitting element having an emission peak wavelength of 490 nm or more and 570 nm or less;
• a support body at which the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element are disposed;
• and
• a light-transmissive member containing a red phosphor and covering the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element, wherein
• a content density of the red phosphor in the light-transmissive member located in a space between the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element is higher in a part below an upper surface of the second light-emitting element than in a part above the upper surface thereof, and
• the red phosphors located in the light-transmissive member in a space between the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element settle out so as to be in contact with each other,
• wherein the red phosphor includes at least one of a phosphor with the composition represented by the general formula (I) below and a phosphor with the composition represented by 3.5MgO.0.5MgF2.GeO2:Mn4+
• A2MF6:Mn4+ (I)
• where, in the general formula (I), A is at least one selected from the group consisting of K, Li, Na, Rb, Cs and NH4+;
• and M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Group 4 elements and Group 14 elements.
