Accordingly, the light-emitting device in which the light-diffusing agent is added to the light-transmissive member and the light-emitting device in which no light-diffusing agent is added to the light-transmissive member have the same emission color even though having different colors of external appearance. In other words, the hollow structure of the light-diffusing agent located above the phosphor, which is present at the bottom surface of the light-transmissive member, can scatter extraneous light.

The difference in height of a surface of the light-emitting device was 0 μm in Comparative Example 1, while irregularities were observed in Example 1 to Example 5. In other words, adding the light-diffusing agent with a particle size in the range of 20 μm to 70 μm allows for forming irregularities according to the light-diffusing agent on the first surface of the light-transmissive member. The irregularities can efficiently scatter extraneous light and light emitted from the light-emitting devices incident on a surface of the light-emitting device and suppress glare.

In the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 1 in which no light-diffusing agent was added to the light-transmissive member, when the light-emitting device was turned on, the difference in brightness between the light-emitting portions, which included the light-emitting elements, and the non-light-emitting portions, which included no light-emitting element, was conspicuous.
