Abstract
The present invention provides a light emitting device which comprises a blue light emitting diode, and at least an orthosilicate based phosphor for emitting light ranging from a green to yellow regions and a nitride or oxynitride based phosphor for emitting light in a red region over the light emitting diode. Accordingly, since white light with a continuous spectrum ranging from green to red can be implemented, a light emitting device with improved color rendering can be provided, and the light emitting device can be used for a general illumination or a flash. Further, since the phosphors having stable chemical characteristics against their external environment such as moisture are employed, the stability in optical characteristics of the light emitting device can also be improved.
