A semiconductor light-emitting device, a method for manufacturing the same and a vehicle headlight can include the light-emitting device, which is composed of a light-emitting structure including a transparent plate, at least one semiconductor light-emitting chip and a wavelength converting layer between the transparent plate and the light-emitting chip to emit various colored lights including white light. The light-emitting device can also include a mounting board mounting the light-emitting structure and a frame thereon, a reflective material disposed between the frame and the light-emitting structure and the transparent material located on the reflective material to prevent an occurrence of oil-bleeding phenomenon. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide the light-emitting device having a high reliability for the vehicle headlight and the like, which can be maintained at a high quality even when they have been used for a long time under harsh conditions, and methods of manufacturing such devices.
