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 9):
An illumination apparatus comprising: a first of the planar light source; and a second of the planar light source, both according to  claim 1 , the second of the planar light source having the pattern forming section that is different from the pattern forming section of the first of the planar light source,\n wherein the first of the planar light source and the second of the planar light source are arranged to be adjacent to each other, and wherein the first of the planar light source and the second of the planar light source have a different shielding rate, the shielding rate being defined as a ratio of an area where the pattern forming section is covering the light emitting region to an total area of the light emitting region.
