Abstract: To provide a lighting apparatus in which a high-class feeling and a cubic effect are obtained or an interior design is allowed to have an appearance like a chandelier. Plane light emitters constituted by organic EL elements are mounted at planar frames in the shape of a frame, and the above-mentioned frames are connected mutually and annularly so that light emitting units of a first-third rings are arranged. Each of the above-mentioned frames which constitute the light emitting units of each ring is formed to be square, and opposed corner portions of the respective frames are connected together. The numbers of frames which constitute the light emitting units of the above-mentioned first-third rings are each set as the same number, and a plane light emitter side in each frame is arranged so as to form a dome shape.

Abstract: To provide a lighting apparatus in which a high-class feeling and a cubic effect are obtained or an interior design is allowed to have an appearance like a chandelier. Plane light emitters 5, 6, and 7 constituted by organic EL elements are mounted at planar frames 2, 3, and 4 in the shape of a frame, and the above-mentioned frames 2, 3, and 4 are connected mutually and annularly so that light emitting units of a first-third rings are arranged. Each of the above-mentioned frames which constitute the light emitting units of each ring is formed to be square, and opposed corner portions of the respective frames are connected together. The numbers of frames which constitute the light emitting units of the above-mentioned first-third rings are each set as the same number, and a plane light emitter side in each frame is arranged so as to form a dome shape.
