1. A light-emitting device, comprising:
- a light-emitting element for emitting primary light; and
a wavelength conversion unit for absorbing part of the primary light and emitting secondary light having a wavelength longer than that of the primary light;
wherein said wavelength conversion unit includes plural kinds of phosphors different in light absorption characteristic from each other, and at least one kind of phosphor among said plural kinds of phosphors has an absorption characteristic that can absorb the secondary light emitted by at least another kind of phosphor among said plural kinds of phosphors.

23. A fabrication method of a light-emitting device, comprising the steps of:
-
mounting a light-emitting element on a bottom surrounded by a reflective surface of an inner wall in a package;
introducing and setting a first liquid resin kneaded with a first kind of phosphor to cover said light-emitting element mounted in said package; and
introducing and setting a second liquid resin kneaded with a second kind of phosphor on said first liquid resin thus set and on said reflective surface, wherein the second kind of phosphor has a secondary light wavelength shorter than that of said first kind of phosphor.

24. A fabrication method of a light-emitting device, comprising the steps of:
-
mounting a light-emitting element on a bottom surrounded by a reflective surface of an inner wall in a package;
introducing a liquid resin kneaded with plural kinds of phosphors having different median values of particle sizes, to cover said light-emitting element mounted in said package; and
leaving said introduced liquid resin at rest for a prescribed time period to cause the phosphor particles to settle such that a particular kind of the phosphor having a greater median value of the particle size has a greater concentration near said light-emitting element.
