Abstract

There are provided a semiconductor light emitting device wherein the variation in tone in each device is small and the variation in tone due to deterioration with age is also small, and a method for manufacturing the same. The semiconductor light emitting device includes an active layer for emitting primary light having a first wavelength by current injection, and a light emitting layer excited by the primary light for emitting secondary light having a second wavelength different from said first wavelength, wherein the primary light and the secondary light are mixed to be outputted.
