2. Description of the Related Art At present, light-emitting elements (hereinafter, also referred to as LED chips) capable of emitting light with an ultra-high luminance of 1000 mcd or more in RGB (red, green, and blue) have been developed. Along with this, a full-color LED display is being installed by causing each of the LED chips capable of emitting red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to emit mixed color light. Examples of such an LED display include a character display board using a single color display, in addition to a full-color large-sized image device. As a single color display, a white system is different from a color that draws attention, such as a red system, and is therefore less tiring even when viewed for a long time. For this reason, a single color LED display such as a white color display is particularly desired.

On the other hand, LED chips have an excellent monochromatic peak wavelength.

However, in an LED display or the like used for a destination display board or the like, it is not always necessary to use two or more types of LED chips to display white or the like.

Although it is not clear that the arrangement of the present invention can improve the uneven color tone and the reduction in luminance, it is considered as follows. In other words, the light emitted from the light emitting element is
As shown in (A), (a), (b), (c), (d),
(E) and (f) are emitted at various angles. Such light has different optical path lengths passing through the coating portion containing the fluorescent substance. In particular, light having a smaller angle of light emitted from the LED chip tends to have a longer optical path length. For this reason, the amount of light converted into the fluorescent substance varies depending on the optical path length difference, and color tone unevenness occurs. In particular, in the regions (d) and (e), since the light path length is long, the light from the LED chip whose wavelength is converted by the fluorescent substance increases, and it is considered that color tone unevenness is likely to occur when viewed from the light emission observation surface side. The light emitted from the LED chip is light (f) that propagates through the semiconductor like a waveguide and is emitted.
It is considered that such light also causes uneven color tone around the LED chip.

Further, when the coating portion having the fluorescent material is directly disposed on the LED chip, the ratio of the fluorescent material reflecting and scattering light from the LED chip increases. In particular, in the vicinity of the LED chip, the number of times that the visible light from the LED chip is reflected and scattered by the fluorescent substance is extremely increased, and the light density is increased. As a result, it is considered that the organic resin or the like, which is the base material of the coating portion, is liable to deteriorate, and the luminance tends to eventually decrease.

The first coating and the second coating have a laminated structure. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional end of the first coating portion is raised. Therefore, the surface of the first coating portion has a concave spherical shape as viewed from the light emission observation surface side. When the first coating portion has a concave spherical shape, the fluorescent substance in the second coating portion can be collected closer to the center. Such a shape can be created by controlling the viscosity and the curing temperature and time of the epoxy resin as the first coating portion.
As a result, a substantial difference in optical path length can be reduced, and a light emitting device with less color tone unevenness and lower luminance can be obtained. Hereinafter, the constituent members of the present invention will be described in detail.

The green sheet on the outermost surface includes Cr
By including 2 O 3 , MnO 2 , TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3, etc. in the green sheet itself, only the substrate surface formed can be made to have a dark color. The substrate having such an outermost surface improves the contrast and makes the light emission of the LED chip and the fluorescent substance more conspicuous. The side wall extending toward the opening can further improve the reflectance. The shape of the side wall of the concave opening may be a taper angle or a curved surface on a straight line suitable for optical reflection so as to avoid loss of light emission from the LED chip, or a step shape. Further, the depth of the concave opening prevents the chiller serving as the first coating portion and the slurry in which the fluorescent material serving as the second coating portion is dispersed from flowing out, and also has the LE.
It is determined by the angle within a range that does not block direct light from the D chip. Therefore, the depth of the concave opening is 0.3
