Abstract

Disclosed is a light-emitting device that exhibits good color rendering and highly efficiently emits white light in an incandescent bulb color range. The semiconductor light-emitting device () of the present invention includes: a semiconductor light-emitting element () that emits blue light; a green phosphor () that absorbs the blue light and emits green light; and an orange phosphor () that absorbs the blue light and emits orange light. The orange phosphor () produces an emission spectrum having a peak at a wavelength of equal to or greater than 590 nm but equal to or less than 630 nm and having a full width at half maximum of 130 nm or greater at the peak, the full width at half maximum of the emission spectrum of the orange phosphor () being broader than a full width at half maximum of an emission spectrum of the green phosphor (). The orange phosphor () exhibits an absorptance having a peak wavelength of 420 nm or greater. ABS(530) and ABS(MAX) satisfy a relation, ABS(530)/ABS(MAX)<0.60, where ABS(MAX) is an absorptance of the orange phosphor () at the peak wavelength thereof, and ABS(530) is an absorptance of the orange phosphor () at a wavelength of 530 nm.
