Abstract
A current of the same amount or in a constant ratio is applied to each of a combination of a blue light emitting diode having a small wavelength variation and a green light emitting diode having a large wavelength variation. With this, as an amount of applied current increases, an oscillation wavelength of the green light emitting diode having the large wavelength variation changes from a long wavelength side to a short wavelength side and mixes with a blue color of the blue light emitting diode having the small wavelength variation to gradually change chromaticity as a whole. When desired chromaticity is obtained, the amount of the current is fixed.
