It does not attempt to save the power of the light emitting diode by emitting light selectively.

が好ましい。For example, SrAl 2 O 4 or ZnS: Cu is used as the phosphorescent fluorescent agent, and the excitation light wavelength of these is 200 to 450 nm. Therefore, in this case, it is preferable to use a light emitting diode chip made of a gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor having a peak wavelength of 430 nm, for example.

よい。Regarding the content of the phosphorescent fluorescent agent in the resin, it should be taken into consideration that the larger the content, the more the light storing property is improved, but the light transmitting property of the light emitting diode chip with respect to the resin is deteriorated. By utilizing this characteristic, it is possible to control the ratio between the translucent brightness of the light emitting diode chip and the afterglow brightness of the phosphorescent fluorescent agent according to the application. The light emitting diode chip may be integrally installed in the transparent member.

長を有するようにしてもよい。The light emitting diode chip of the present invention may be composed of a plurality of light emitting diode chips having different emission wavelengths (emission colors). For example, the light emitting diode chip includes first and second light emitting diode chips having different emission wavelengths, the first light emitting diode chip has a wavelength capable of exciting the phosphorescent fluorescent material, and the second light emitting diode chip includes the phosphorescent fluorescent material. You may make it have a wavelength longer than the fluorescence of the phosphorescent fluorescent material, without being excited.

The emitted fluorescence emits in a mixed color, then emits only in fluorescence, and then emits in a color in which fluorescence is mixed with the emission color of the second light-emitting diode. The mixed color changes gradually. Therefore, by using two light emitting diode chips having different light emitting colors, it is possible to obtain a light emitting diode whose light emitting color gradually changes from one color to another.
