A wavelength conversion member provided with a composite phosphor obtained by coating surfaces of phosphor particles with coating material particles and has an average particle diameter of the coating material of not more than 1/10 of an average particle diameter of the phosphor particles, and a light emitting device using the same. It is possible to control dispersibility of the phosphor particles in the wavelength conversion member, and it is possible to provide a light emitting device free from color variability and having good light emission efficiency by combining the wavelength conversion member with a semiconductor light emitting element. |
