Abstract

See full text

A lighting device is provided in accordance with the present invention having reduced luminance and color unevenness. A plurality of solid-state light emitting elements are mounted on a base substrate. An optical member is further mounted on the substrate and arranged so as to cover light emitting surfaces of the light emitting elements, the optical member having a semicircular or semielliptical cross-sectional surface, and gutter-shaped in a longitudinal direction with respect to the substrate. A wavelength converting member covers the semicircular or semielliptical cross-sectional surface of the optical member, and is excitable by light from the solid-state light emitting elements to thereby emit wavelength-converted light. In various embodiments light diffusion members may be further distributed among the light emitting elements.
