Light-emitting device

A light-emitting device comprising:

• a semiconductor light-emitting element;
• a lead terminal having a first recess portion for placement of the semiconductor light-emitting element therein;
• a resin package in which the semiconductor light-emitting element and a portion of the lead terminal including the first recess portion are accommodated, the resin package also having a second recess portion which is so formed that the portion of the lead terminal including the first recess portion is exposed to a bottom portion of the second recess portion;
• and
• a resin portion containing phosphors filled in the first recess portion of the lead terminal and in the second recess portion of the resin package, wherein
• a photoreflective filler is contained in the resin portion containing the phosphors,
• the second recess portion of the resin package has a rectangular-shaped opening,
• a wall surface of the first recess portion of the lead terminal is a gentle slope surface which is gently sloped so as to gradually broaden from a bottom side toward an opening of the first recess portion of the lead terminal,
• a wall surface of the second recess portion of the resin package is a slope surface which is sloped so as to gradually broaden from the bottom side toward the opening of the second recess portion of the resin package, and
• light derived from the photoreflective filler of the resin portion containing the phosphors and from the phosphors is reflected by surfaces including, as arranged in order along a shorter-side direction of the second recess portion of the resin package, the bottom face and the gentle slope surface of the first recess portion of the lead terminal, a flat surface of the lead terminal, and the slope surface of the second recess portion of the resin package.
