LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND ILLUMINATION DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a white LED of a high color rendering characteristic having an average color rendering evaluation value exceeding 90 by using a blue LED element. The white LED includes a semiconductor light emitting element emitting a blue light or blue-violet light and a fluorescent material absorbing a part or whole of the light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element and emitting a fluorescent light of a wavelength different from the light. The fluorescent material is a mixed fluorescent material obtained by mixing a first fluorescent material emitting a blue-green light or a green light, a second fluorescent material having a light emitting peak wavelength longer than the first fluorescent material and emitting a green light or a yellow-green light, a third fluorescent material having a light emitting peak wavelength longer than the second fluorescent material and emitting a yellow-green light, a yellow light, or a yellow-red light, and a fourth fluorescent material having a light emitting peak wavelength longer than the third fluorescent material and emitting a yellow-red light or a red light.
