<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light source arranged to allow converting UV radiation emitted by a UV light-emitting diode etc. into visible light at high conversion efficiency without leaking to the exterior. <P>SOLUTION: Primary light 302 emitted by a primary light-generating device 202 such as a UV light-emitting diode etc. is absorbed by a first wavelength converting material layer 206 containing phosphor particles and converted into secondary light 304 having a wavelength different from that of the primary light 302. The secondary light 304 is absorbed by a second wavelength converting material layer 208 containing phosphor nano-particles together with a portion of the light 308 that has passed through the first wavelength converting material layer 206 without being converted and converted into tertiary light (visible light) 306. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
