    Date of Patent: April 3, 2012
    Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba
    Inventors: Saori Abe, Toshiyuki Oka, Shinya Nunoue
  • Patent number: 7915630
    Abstract: A light-emitting device which includes a semiconductor light-emitting element, and a plurality of plate-like wavelength conversion members which are disposed to face the semiconductor light-emitting element and are inclined with respect to the optical axis of excitation light emitted from the semiconductor light-emitting element, the plate-like wavelength conversion members containing respectively a fluorescent material which is capable of absorbing the excitation light and outputting light having a different wavelength from that of the excitation light, and the plate-like wavelength conversion members as a whole emitting visible light.
