The invention provides a light emitting device combined with light emitting elements and fluorescent materials. The light emitting device (1) includes a substrate (2) and a light emitting unit, the light emitting unit including: a plurality of light emitting elements (4) that are mounted on substrate (2) and electrically connected to external electrodes; a first sealing member layer (5) containing a first fluorescent material, formed to cover light emitting elements (4); and a second sealing member layer (5) containing a second fluorescent material, formed on first sealing member layer (5), as well as a method for manufacturing thereof, including a work sequence that the plurality of light emitting elements (4) that are mounted on substrate to connect electrically the light emitting elements (4) to external electrodes, a work sequence that forms the first sealing member layer (5) containing the first fluorescent material, formed to cover light emitting elements (4), a work sequence that measures chroma characteristics of the light emitting device after forming the first sealing member layer and a work sequence that forms the second sealing member layer (6) on the first sealing member layer (5) to obtain chroma difference according to measured chroma characteristics. The light emitting device is capable of suppressing color shifts and the like by the fluorescent materials, and of being easily manufactured.
