Disclosed is a light-emitting device having a wide luminous-intensity distribution characteristic with a simple structure. The light-emitting device includes a resin package in which an LED chip, a first inner portion of a first lead terminal, and a second inner portion of a second lead terminal are accommodated and which has a second recess portion formed so that a portion including a first recess portion of the first inner portion of the first lead terminal as well as a portion of the second inner portion of the second lead terminal are exposed to a bottom portion of the second recess portion, and a resin portion containing phosphors and filled in the first recess portion of the first lead terminal and in the second recess portion of the resin package. A photoreflective filler is contained in a region opposed to the LED chip of the resin portion including the phosphors.

Light-emitting device

In a light emitting device, a light emitting device unit, and a method for fabricating a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, a light emitting device () includes a substrate (), a semiconductor light emitting element () disposed on the substrate (), and a resistor () coupled to the semiconductor light emitting element (). The resistor () is coupled in parallel to the semiconductor light emitting element (). The resistor () has a resistance set at such a value that when a light emitting operation voltage for causing light emission of the semiconductor light emitting element () is applied to the semiconductor light emitting element (), a current flowing through the resistor () is equal to or less than one-fiftieth of a current flowing through the semiconductor light emitting element ().
