Patent number: 9936559Abstract: A light-emitting device (10) includes a first light-emitting region (100) and a second light-emitting region (200). The first light-emitting region (100) emits a light ray having a first color by making a first light-emitting layer group including at least two or more kinds of light-emitting layers emit light. In addition, the second light-emitting region (200) emits a light ray having the first color (for example, daylight color, natural white color, white color, warm white color, or incandescent color) by making a second light-emitting layer group including at least two or more kinds of light-emitting layers emit light. In addition, at least one kind of light-emitting layer included in the second light-emitting layer group emits a light ray having a different spectrum peak from all of the light-emitting layers included in the first light-emitting layer group. Therefore, the color-rendering properties of light emitted from the light-emitting device (10) are improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignees: PIONEER CORPORATION, TOHOKU PIONEER CORPORATIONInventors: Shuichi Seki, Shigehiro Umetsu, Hiroki Tan, Katsuhiro Kanauchi
