SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND LIGHTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising:
- a light emitting element including a semiconductor epitaxial layer which has a light emitting portion and has an upper surface a lower surface and side surfaces, and an element substrate which supports the semiconductor epitaxial layer and does not transmit light from the light emitting portion; and
a resin layer located on the element substrate and covering the upper surface and at least one of the side surfaces of the semiconductor epitaxial layer, the resin layer including at least one of a scattering material and a fluorescent substance that wavelength-converts light from the light emitting portion, a top surface of the resin layer being inclined toward the element substrate when viewed in cross section.

Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device can include a light emitting element with a semiconductor epitaxial layer which has a light emitting portion, and an element substrate which supports the semiconductor epitaxial layer and does not transmit light from the light emitting portion. A resin layer can be provided on the element substrate in a way covering side surfaces and an upper surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer. The resin layer can contain fluorescent substances that wavelength-convert light from the light emitting portion, and can be inclined toward the top at one cross section. Therefore, the semiconductor light emitting device can exhibit a front luminance distribution having a difference in front luminance between the light emitting portion and the light non-emitting portion at an end portion of the semiconductor light emitting device.
