Patent ID: 7518150

Claim:
A white light source comprising: a blue-yellow light-emitting section including a blue-system semiconductor light-emitting element and a sealing resin sealing the blue-system semiconductor light-emitting element, the sealing resin containing a yellow fluorescent member and being configured to emit yellow-system light by absorbing a part of blue light emitted from the blue-system semiconductor light-emitting element; a red-green light-emitting section including a green-system semiconductor light-emitting element and a sealing resin sealing the green-system semiconductor light-emitting element, the sealing resin containing a red fluorescent member and being configured to emit red-system light by absorbing a part of green light emitted from the green-system semiconductor light-emitting element; and a circuit board on which the blue-yellow light-emitting section and the red-green light-emitting section are adjacently disposed as independent sections.
