An organic EL element ( 200 ) emits light containing a blue component (B) and a component (θ) with a peak in 500 to 600 nm. A red converting member ( 360 ) has an excitation spectrum with a peak in 500 to 600 nm. The red converting member receives light from the organic EL element ( 200 ) and converts the blue component (B) to a red component (R). At this time, the luminance of the red component (R) is enhanced since the member ( 360 ) is strongly excited by the component (θ). As a result, the white balance of three colors is improved. Therefore a color emission device ( 100 ) can be provided where the intensity of red light is enhanced. |
