Abstract

An illuminating device includes a fluorescent lamp including a blue phosphor and a red phosphor applied on an inner surface, the fluorescent lamp emitting blue light and red light from the blue phosphor and the red phosphor, respectively; and a green phosphor layer disposed outside the fluorescent lamp, the green phosphor layer containing a green phosphor containing Eu2+ or Ce3+ as a luminescent center. Green light emitted from the green phosphor excited by the blue light is mixed with the red light and the blue light so that white light is emitted from the illuminating device.
