LIGHTING APPARATUS USED IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED WITH SAME
The present invention includes a light-emitting element, and a reflector including a reflection face that reflects light from the light-emitting element toward a rectangular area to be photographed. The reflection face includes a pair of first refection faces facing each other with the light-emitting element interposed therebetween in a direction corresponding to a long-side direction demarcating the area to be photographed, and a pair of second reflection faces facing each other with the light-emitting element interposed therebetween in a direction corresponding to a short-side direction demarcating the area to be photographed. Furthermore, a height of the second reflection faces is lower than a height of the first reflection faces. This makes it possible to achieve a lighting apparatus used in photography, which is small and with which the whole area to be photographed is illuminated uniformly.
1 . A lighting apparatus used in photography, comprising:
a light-emitting element; and
a reflector including a reflection face that reflects light from the light-emitting element toward a rectangular area to be photographed,
wherein the reflection face includes a pair of first refection faces facing each other with the light-emitting element interposed therebetween in a direction corresponding to a long-side direction demarcating the rectangular area to be photographed, and a pair of second reflection faces facing each other with the light-emitting element interposed therebetween in a direction corresponding to a short-side direction demarcating the rectangular area to be photographed, and
a height of the second reflection faces is lower than a height of the first reflection faces.
2 . The lighting apparatus used in photography of claim 1 , wherein the first reflection faces and the second reflection faces have a concave radius of curvature to at least the height of the second reflection faces.
3 . The lighting apparatus used in photography of claim 2 , wherein the first reflection faces and the second reflection faces have the same radius of curvature.
4 . The lighting apparatus used in photography of claim 1 , wherein the reflector is square-shaped in a plan view.
5 . The lighting apparatus used in photography of claim 1 , wherein the reflector includes a peripheral wall member and a reflection face member.
6 . A portable electronic device equipped with a lighting apparatus used in photography as defined in claim 1 .
