The chromaticity coordinates of the object colors were (0.377, 0.432) in Example 1 and (0.430, 0.511) in Comparative Example 1. In other words, in Comparative Example 1, the emission color was white, but the object color was yellow. This is because the color of the phosphor was seen. On the other hand, in Example 1, both of the emission color and the object color were white.
Also in Example 2 to Example 5 in which the particle sizes of the light-diffusing agent were different, both of the emission colors and the object colors were white. In other words, adding a hollow light-diffusing agent having a particle size of 20 μm or more with difference in the specific gravity of 0.65 or more from the light-transmissive member allows for obtaining the light-emitting device with a white object color.
