Abstract:
The present invention provides a planar light source and an illumination apparatus which have higher design property than that of conventional ones. The planar light source includes: a planar light emitting panel which has a light emitting surface; and a decorative member which covers the light emitting surface of the planar light emitting panel. A light emitting region which emits light when the planar light source is turned on and a non-light-emitting frame region which surrounds the light emitting region are provided on the light emitting surface. The decorative member has a pattern forming section. The pattern forming section includes a frame shielding section which covers entirety of the frame region in the front view, and a light-emission shielding section which extends from the frame shielding section so as to divide the light emitting region into a plurality of regions.

Claim (Index 12):
An illumination apparatus comprising a plurality of planar light sources,\n the plurality of planar light sources including a first planar light source and a second planar light source, wherein each of the first planar light source and the second planar light source comprises: a planar light emitting panel having a light emitting surface; and a decorative member covering the light emitting surface of the planar light emitting panel, wherein the light emitting surface comprises: a light emitting region emitting planar light when the planar light source is turned on; and a non-light-emitting frame region surrounding the light emitting region, wherein the decorative member has a pattern forming section, wherein the pattern forming section includes in a front view: a frame shielding section covering an entire area of the frame region; and a light-emission shielding section extending from the frame shielding section so as to divide the light emitting region into a plurality of regions, the light-emission shielding section overlapping with the light emitting region, wherein the first planar light source and the second planar light source are arranged to be adjacent to each other, and wherein the pattern forming section of the first planar light source and the pattern forming section of the second planar light source form one pattern when the first planar light source and the second planar light source are turned on.
