Light-emitting device and illumination apparatus

摘要

A light-emitting device and an illumination apparatus are disclosed. A plurality of LED elements (91) are connected in series between positive and negative lines (9a and 9b), and first bypass capacitor (92) is connected in parallel to the LED elements respectively. Each series circuit of a predetermined number of LED elements is connected in parallel to second bypass capacitors (93a, 93b and 93c). As a result, with the negative power line (9b) set as a grounding point (A), the AC impedance at connection points (B, C, D) of the series circuit of the LED elements (91a to 911) against the ground is reduced. Thus, the erroneous lighting or "flicker" of each LED which otherwise might be caused by an external noise is prevented.
