ABSTRACT:
A light-emitting device and illumination apparatus using the same are provided. The light-emitting device includes a semiconductor light-emitting element that emits blue-violet or blue light and a fluorescent material that absorbs the light emitted by the semiconductor light-emitting element and emits fluorescence of wavelengths different from the light, wherein the fluorescent material includes a mixture of a first fluorescent material, a second fluorescent material that has a longer emission wavelength than that of the first fluorescent material, and a third fluorescent material that has a longer emission wavelength than the second fluorescent material, and the first fluorescent material is a europium-activated β-SiAlON fluorescent material, the second fluorescent material is a europium-activated α-SiAlON fluorescent material, and the third fluorescent material is a nitride crystalline red fluorescent material of a general formula of (Ca,Eu)AlSiN3. The illumination apparatus includes a light source including a light emitting device as described above.
