Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) illumination device comprising: a substrate; a plurality of red LED chips arranged on the substrate; a plurality of blue LED chips arranged on the substrate; and a plurality of third-color LED chips arranged on the substrate, wherein respective centers of the plurality of red LED chips are arranged on a circumference of a first circle having as its center a point on the substrate, respective centers of the plurality of blue LED chips are arranged on a circumference of a second circle concentric with and greater than the first circle, and respective centers of the plurality of third-color LED chips are arranged in a region between the first circle and the second circle, wherein the LED illumination device further comprises a bell-shaped sealing portion covering all of the plurality of red, the plurality of blue and the plurality of third-color LED chips, the bell-shaped sealing portion containing a light diffusion agent, and wherein the total concentration of the light diffusion agent contained within the bell-shaped sealing portion is greater in the entire region directly above the plurality of blue LED chips than in the entire region directly above the plurality of red LED chips so that the light distribution of the plurality of blue LED chips is broader than that of the plurality of red LED chips.
