Method for producing a light emitting device

A light emitting device (10) has a supporting substrate (12); a first electrode (14) disposed on the supporting substrate; an electroluminescent layer disposed on the first electrode and including at least a light emitting layer (16); a second electrode (18) disposed opposite to the first electrode, with the electroluminescent layer being interposed therebetween; a resin layer (20) disposed on the second electrode directly or with an intermediate layer (19) interposed therebetween, or on a surface of the supporting substrate at the opposite side of a surface where the first electrode is disposed; and light transmitting particles (22) scattered in the resin layer, and at least a portion of the light transmitting particles are scattered in the resin layer such that a part of each of the scattered particles is embedded in a surface of the resin layer at the side at which light is extracted from the light emitting layer.
