A phosphor for light emitting device of an embodiment includes: a phosphor particle composed of at least one selected from an alkaline earth silicate phosphor, a lanthanum oxysulfide phosphor, and a zinc sulfide phosphor; and a surface treatment agent, provided to cover a surface of the phosphor particle, of at least one selected from a silane coupling agent and an acrylic emulsion. A luminance maintenance ratio of the phosphor represented by a formula: luminance B/luminance A×100(%) , is 98% or more, wherein the luminance A is a luminance of the phosphor made to emit under a condition of temperature: 23° C., humidity: 40%, and the luminance B is a luminance of the phosphor made to emit under a condition of temperature: 23° C., humidity: 40% after leaving the phosphor under a condition of temperature: 60° C., humidity: 90% for 12 hours. |
