Abstract
A light emitting device includes one or more light emitting elements and a plurality of fluorescent materials, and emits a first light, a second light, and a third light, wherein the first light has a correlated color temperature between 1,500 K and 3,500 K and a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more, the second light has a correlated color temperature between 3,500 K and 5,500 K and a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more, the third light has values of X and Y coordinates in the chromaticity diagram of the CIE1931 color system smaller than the values of X and Y coordinates at a color temperature of 5,500 K on the black body radiation locus, and a light having a correlated color temperature of 6,500 K has a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more and a melanopic ratio of 1.0 or more.
Claims12
A light emitting device,
- comprising one or more light emitting elements, at least one first fluorescent material, at least one second fluorescent material containing at least a fluorescent material different from the at least one first fluorescent material, and at least one third fluorescent material containing at least a fluorescent material different from the at least one first fluorescent material and the at least one second fluorescent material;
- and
- emitting
- a first light from at least one of the one or more light emitting elements and the at least one first fluorescent material,
- a second light from at least one of the one or more light emitting elements and the at least one second fluorescent material, and
- a third light from at least one of the one or more light emitting elements and the at least one third fluorescent material,
- wherein the first light has a first color temperature with a correlated color temperature in a range of 1,500 K or more and 3,500 K or less, and has a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more,
- the second light has a second color temperature with a correlated color temperature in a range of 3,500 K or more and 5,500 K or less, wherein the second color temperature is higher than the first color temperature, and has a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more,
- the third light has values of X and Y coordinates in the chromaticity diagram of the CIE1931 color system that are smaller than the values of X and Y coordinates at a color temperature of 5,500 K on the black body radiation locus, and
- a light having a correlated color temperature of 6,500 K composed of two or more lights including at least the third light among the first light, the second light, and the third light, has a color rendering index R9 of 50 or more and a melanopic ratio of 1.0 or more, provided that the light excludes a two lights form consisting only of the first light and the third light.
