1. A light emitting device comprising:
- a package having a first concave portion and a second concave portion, the first concave portion being bored on a bottom of the second concave portion in an inner direction opposite to a direction toward the face of observing luminescence to form a step on the bottom of the second concave portion;
light sources comprising a first light source mounted in the first concave portion and a second light source mounted in the second concave portion;
a first phosphor layer disposed in the first concave portion the first phosphor layer absorbing at least a portion of a light emitted from the first light source and emitting a first light having a wavelength longer than the light emitted from the first light source;
a second phosphor layer which absorbs at least a portion of a light emitted from the first light source and the light emitted from the second light source and which emits a second light having a wavelength longer than the light emitted from the second light source;
wherein a peak wavelength of the first light is longer than a peak wavelength of the second light, and whereinthe first light emitted from the first phosphor is diffused by the second phosphor without being absorbed.

Abstract
To provide a phosphor containing a comparatively much red component and having high light emitting efficiency, high brightness and further high durability, the nitride phosphor is represented by the general formula LXMYN((2/3)X+(4/3)Y):R or LXMYOZN((2/3)X+(4/3)Y−(2/3)Z):R (wherein L is at least one or more selected from the Group II Elements consisting of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn, M is at least one or more selected from the Group IV Elements in which Si is essential among C, Si and Ge, and R is at least one or more selected from the rare earth elements in which Eu is essential among Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Lu.); contains the another elements.
