Patent ID: 7569987

Claim:
A light emitting apparatus comprising; a first light emitting device that has a first peak emission wavelength in a short wavelength region of visible light, a fluorescent material that converts light emitted by the first light emitting device to light of a different wavelength and, a second light emitting device that has a second peak emission wavelength which is longer than the first peak emission wavelength and is shorter than the peak emission wavelength of the fluorescent material, wherein the difference between the first peak emission wavelength and the second peak emission wavelength is 60 nm or larger, and wherein the light emitted by the first light emitting device, the light emitted by the fluorescent material and the light emitted by the second light emitting device are mixed and emitted to the outside, wherein said first light emitting device is mounted in a first recess and said second light emitting device is mounted in a second recess, and wherein a first line that perpendicularly passes a bottom surface of said first recess at its center, and a second line that perpendicularly passes said bottom surface at the intersect of a third line that extends along a linear portion one of the side faces of said first recess and a fourth line that extends along a linear portion of another one of the side faces of said first recess, are offset from each other such that said mixed light has a uniform color.
