According to the present invention, it is possible to stabilize the thermal characteristics of the LED, especially the red LED, even at a high temperature, so that the maximum amount of light can be ensured even in an environment using a low-capacity cooling device.
Further, according to the present invention, since the phosphor substrate rotates or linearly moves by the driving unit, the reliability of the phosphor substrate can be ensured even in the optical system of a small space.
