According to one embodiment, the luminescent material emits light with an emission peak within a wavelength range of 490 to 580 nm when excited with light having a wavelength range of 250 to 500 nm and includes a particle containing a Sr 3 Si 13 Al 3 O 2 N 21 -based crystal activated by Eu. The particle includes an outer region which is within a depth of 5 nm from a surface of the particle and an inner region which is deeper than the outer region. The outer region and the inner region satisfy a ratio O outer/ O inner of 1.0 to 3.8. O outer is an average of oxygen concentration in the outer region and O inner is an average of oxygen concentration in the inner region. |
