1. A Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having a stacked structure comprising:
a transparent crystal substrate having a front surface and a back surface;
a first Group III nitride semiconductor layer of a first conductive type formed on the front surface of the transparent crystal substrate;
a second Group III nitride semiconductor layer of a second conductive type which is opposite from the first conductive type;
a light-emitting layer made of a Group III nitride semiconductor between the first and second Group III nitride semiconductor layers; and
a plate body including fluorescent material, attached onto the back surface of the transparent crystal substrate,
wherein the plate body is thicker than the transparent crystal substrate.
