Light-emitting diode device

摘要

A LED device which has an excellent color rendering property and no toxicity and does not bring about an increase in production cost more than necessary, and a covering member used for such a LED device can be provided. The white LED device comprises a light-emitting element for emitting light of blue to green region and a fluorescent substance containing a red phosphor for converting a wavelength of the light emitted from the light-emitting element. The red phosphor is CaS or activated by Eu or a phosphor expressed by a general formula AEu(1-x)LnxB2O8 wherein A is an element selected from the group consisting of Li, K, Na and Ag; Ln is an element selected from the group consisting of Y, La and Gd; and B is W or Mo; and x is number equal to or larger than 0, but smaller than 1.
