Patent ID: 8030840

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a first light emitting section that comprises a first blue light source that receives electric power through a first wire and a first electrode and a first luminescent material which is excited by a first blue light emitted by the first blue light source and thereby emits green light, and the first light emitting section emits a first mixed light containing the first blue light emitted from the first blue light source and the green light emitted from the first luminescent material; and a second light emitting section that comprises a second blue light source that receives electric power through a second wire and a second electrode and a second luminescent material which is excited by a second blue light emitted by the second blue light source and thereby emits red light, and the second light emitting section emits a second mixed light containing the second blue light emitted from the second blue light source and the red light emitted from the second luminescent material, wherein the light emitting device emits white light containing the first mixed light and the second mixed light, and when a ratio of electric power supplied to the first blue light source through the first wire and the first electrode and electric power supplied to the second blue light source through the second wire and the second electrode is changed, balance in intensity of the first and second blue lights, green light, and red light contained in the white light changes.
