[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The present invention is a poster-type lighting fixture comprising a base sheet 1 that can be fixed to a wall surface, a light source 2 that can emit light when powered by a power source, and a shade sheet 3 that is disposed in front of the base sheet 1 and the light source 2.

[0021] First, an opening 11 is formed in the base sheet 1. In this embodiment, the size of the base sheet 1 is A3 size (420 mm length x 297 mm width), and a rectangular opening 11 with each side being approximately 6 cm is formed. Note that the opening 11 may be circular or have another shape.

[0022] In this embodiment, the base sheet 1 and the shade sheet 3 can be made of paper, which makes it easy to print on the surface, reduces manufacturing costs, and is easy to handle.

[0023] The light source 2 can be disposed inside this opening 11. The power source for the light source 2 can be one that supplies power from an outlet or one that is wire-free, such as a battery or solar cell, and an ON / OFF switch can be provided as appropriate. The light-emitting part of the light source 2 can be fixed to the wall surface with double-sided tape or the like. If there is wiring for a power outlet or the like, it can be installed by passing it between the base sheet 1 and the wall surface.

[0024] In this embodiment, the light source 2 can be a low-directivity, wide-angle LED (light-emitting diode), which has good light diffusion properties and provides an anti-glare effect that reduces visual irritation. Furthermore, since LEDs generate very little heat, there is no risk of fire due to overheating, which is a characteristic of the fixture that requires the thin base sheet 1 and shade sheet 3 as essential components, and a high level of safety can be achieved.

[0025] A pair of insertion slits 12, 12 are formed in the base sheet 1 at positions sandwiching the opening 11. In this embodiment, the insertion slits 12 can be provided linearly and parallel to each other (see FIG. 1).

[0026] In addition, a pair of protrusions 31, 31 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the shade sheet 3, and can be integrally formed by punching or the like, or can be joined and fixed to separate members. In this case, a retaining portion 31A can be formed on the protrusions 31 of the shade sheet 3, making it difficult for them to come off through the slits 12.

[0027] The distance D between these protrusions 31 is greater than the distance d between the insertion slits 12 (see FIG. 1). By doing so, when the protrusions 31 are inserted into the insertion slits 12, the shade sheet 3 can be held in a curved state in front of the opening 11 and the light source 2.

[0028] Next, when the light emitted from the light source 2 illuminates the inner surface 32 of the shade sheet 3, part of this illuminated light passes through the shade sheet 3, forming a visible translucent decorative portion 21 on the outer surface 33 of the shade sheet 3. At this time, the range of the translucent decorative portion 21 appears as a faint round gradient light near the center of the shade sheet 3, presenting a beautiful appearance with a soothing effect. In this embodiment, by setting the difference between the distance D and the distance d to about 4 cm, the light source 2 and the shade sheet 3 are spaced at an appropriate distance, and the size and brightness of the translucent decorative portion 21 can be adjusted.

[0029] The diffracted light from the light source 2 and the reflected diffused light from the inner surface 32 of the shade sheet 3 leak out from a pair of opening edge portions 34 / 34 of the shade sheet 3, respectively, to form a pair of light-leaking decorative portions 22 / 22 on the surface of the base sheet 1 (see Figure 2).

[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, by making the lengths of a pair of opening edge portions 34 of the shade sheet 3 different, it is possible to form asymmetric light-leaking decorative portions 22 (see Figs. 4 and 5). That is, when the insertion slits 12 are parallel, the light-leaking decorative portions 22 are symmetrical, and when they are tapered in a V-shape, they can be asymmetrical.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, a decorative pattern 35 is formed on the inner surface 32 of the shade sheet 3, and the shade sheet 3 is set in the state shown in Figure 4. By turning on the power of the light source 2, the shadow of the decorative pattern 35 can be displayed on the translucent decorative portion 21 by the light emitted by the light source 2.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, the pattern of the surface decorative portion 13 of the base sheet 1 and the decorative pattern 35 of the shade sheet 3 can be configured to be continuous. Furthermore, as described above, by adjusting the length of the pair of opening edges 34 of the shade sheet 3 to make the light-leaking decorative portions 22 symmetrical or asymmetrical, or by combining them with the surface decorative portion 13 of the base sheet 1, it is possible to express novel and diverse decorative designs, such as changing the appearance before and after light emission or creating different concepts.

[0033] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8, a surface decorative portion 13 with a metallic luster can be formed on the surface of the base sheet 1 near the periphery of the opening 11 (the shaded area in the figure). By doing so, a light-leaking decorative portion 22 that reflects light on the metallic luster portion can be formed, which also allows for the expression of a novel and versatile decorative design. Also, multiple pairs of insertion slits 12 can be provided depending on the shape and design of the shade sheet 3.

[0034] The present invention is generally configured as described above, but the present invention is in no way limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. For example, the size of the base sheet 1 is not limited to A3, and it can be made into a shape or size other than rectangular, and multiple openings 11 can be provided.

[0035] Furthermore, the type of light source 2 is not limited to an LED (light emitting diode), but may be a filament type or a fluorescent lamp, and any of these fall within the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
