Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device is composed of a blue light emitting diode, a red light emitting layer grown epitaxially on the blue light emitting diode, and an insulating material containing a YAG fluorescent material. The red light emitting layer is made of, e.g., undoped In0.4Ga0.6N having a forbidden band width of 1.9 eV and formed on a p-type semiconductor layer to have a configuration consisting of a plurality of mutually spaced-apart islands.
