[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as mentioned above, in the conventional example in which a color filter is attached to an incandescent lamp, most of the light emitted by the incandescent lamp is cut, so the same amount of power is used. Even when input, the brightness varies greatly depending on the color, and in particular, the brightness of short wavelength light such as blue light is low.
