Abstract

A phosphor wheel includes: a substrate including a first principal surface and a second principal surface; a phosphor layer; and a heat dissipating member. The heat dissipating member includes: a projecting portion projecting toward one of the principal surfaces and including a contact surface that contacts the one of the principal surfaces; fins provided by cutting and raising regions in a peripheral region of the heat dissipating member excluding a central portion of the heat dissipating member; and a bent end portion having an obtuse bending angle and provided as a result of an outer edge portion of the heat dissipating member being bent. The projecting portion secures a certain distance between the substrate and the heat dissipating member and conducts heat in the substrate to the peripheral region of the heat dissipating member.
