A light emitting device or image display includes a fluorescent material as a wavelength converter for converting a wavelength into another. The fluorescent material is disposed in a predetermined positional relation, to prevent external leakage of primary light and to extract secondary light made by wavelength-converting the primary light with a very high efficiency. By using a semiconductor light emitting element for ultraviolet emission and combining it with a fluorescent material or any other appropriate material having a wavelength converting function, various kinds of applications, such as illuminator, having a remarkably long-life light source can be made. The semiconductor light emitting element preferably has a emission wavelength near 330 nm, and preferably uses BGaN in its light emitting layer.
