A composite light-emitting device according to the present invention
includes a light-emitting element including a transparent substrate and a
multilayer structure formed on the substrate. The multilayer structure
includes first and second semiconductor layers of first and second
conductivity types, respectively. The device further includes a submount
member for mounting the light-emitting element thereon. The principal
surface of the submount member faces the multilayer structure. The
submount member is electrically connected to the light-emitting element.
The light-emitting element is covered with a wavelength-shifting resin
member. The resin member is provided on the principal surface of the
submount member and contains a photofluorescent or filtering compound. The
photofluorescent compound shifts the wavelength of radiation that has been
emitted from the light-emitting element, while the filtering compound
partially absorbs the radiation.
