Lighting device having surface light source panels

A lighting device comprising:

• a plurality of surface light source panels having an organic electroluminescence layer, an anode, and a cathode disposed to be mutually adjoining in two dimensions, and having a light emitting region and a non-light emitting region;
• and
• a plurality of light diffusion passive reflectors including a side surface, a light-emitting surface, and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being disposed on a surface of the light emitting region in each of the plurality of the surface light source panels and formed to cover only the light emitting region of the surface light source panel, the side surface acting as a reflection minor surface formed to incline towards a diagonal outside at a side of a light-emitting direction from the bottom surface, the light-emitting surface emitting an emitted light from the light emitting region and a reflected light from the side surface and having substantially a same size as a planar outline of a surface light source panel,
• wherein a plurality of the light diffusion passive reflectors is disposed to be mutually adjoining without a gap in between and to form a continuous face, wherein the surface light source panels adjoining mutually are provided so as to allow each surface light source panel to bend with respect to each other,
• wherein the plurality of mutually adjoining surface light source panels are connected with each other by supporting a free end of a pair of universal links rotatably at a backside of the plurality of mutually adjoining surface light source panels, respectively, and edge parts between the plurality of light diffusion passive reflectors can be in abutting contact with each other in a state wherein the plurality of mutually adjoining surface light source panels are bent with respect to each other.
