Abstract: An illumination device is provided that has a superior decorative effect achieving a favorable dramatic effect and atmosphere. Sub-panels (2, 3, 4, 5) having the same shape as a main panel (1) are mounted pivotally to each side of the rectangular main panel (1) via hinges (6). Surface-emitting parts (1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a) formed of organic EL elements are mounted on the main panel (1) and each of the sub-panels (2, 3, 4, 5). By changing a set angle between the main panel (1) and each of the sub-panels (2, 3, 4, 5) and by independently controlling the lighting of each surface-emitting part (1a to 5a), a favorable dramatic effect and atmosphere can be created.
