Illumination devices include incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, and in recent years, some use LEDs, and some have improved visibility and have been devised by design. As a refrigerator equipped with an LED lighting device, a storage room such as a refrigerating room cooled by cold air generated by a cooler of a refrigeration cycle, a mounting substrate, and a plurality are mounted and in a visible light region. Equipped with a lighting device consisting of a semiconductor light emitting element that emits only light of a wavelength, the semiconductor light emitting element does not emit light in the infrared region, and when the interior of the refrigerator is irradiated, the surface temperature of the stored product does not increase, so the stored product There has been proposed a refrigerator having a function capable of preserving the storage portion with high freshness without causing surface discoloration or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図５は、特許文献１に記載された従来のＬＥＤの照明装置を備えた冷蔵庫の構造を示す斜視図である。図５において１は半導体発光素子であり、実装基板２に半導体発光素子１を実装して照明装置を構成し、冷蔵庫３の内部に設置され、これによって冷蔵庫の扉４が開かれたとき半導体発光素子１が発光して冷蔵庫３内部の保存物を照射する。このとき可視光線領域内にある波長の光線のみを発光して赤外線領域の光線を発光しないので保存物の表面温度を上昇させることなく照射することができるというものである。
特開平１１−１５９９５３号公報 FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a structure of a refrigerator provided with a conventional LED lighting device described in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a semiconductor light emitting element. The lighting device is configured by mounting the semiconductor light emitting element 1 on the mounting substrate 2, and is installed inside the refrigerator 3, so that the semiconductor light emission occurs when the refrigerator door 4 is opened. The element 1 emits light and irradiates the stored material inside the refrigerator 3. At this time, only light having a wavelength in the visible light region is emitted and light in the infrared region is not emitted, so that irradiation can be performed without increasing the surface temperature of the stored product.
