LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

To provide a light emitting device in which, when light is emitted, contrast between a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area is large, and, when light is not emitted, an entire top surface of the light emitting device is a color of a wavelength conversion member, and a method of manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: A light emitting device 100 includes: a light emitting element 1 having a light emitting surface and a side surface; a wavelength conversion member 3 provided on the light emitting surface of the light emitting element 1 with a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, with the light emitting surface facing the first surface; a reflective member 10 provided on a side surface of the light emitting element 1 and covering an outer surface of at least a part of the wavelength conversion member 3; and a covering member 5 provided on an upper surface of the reflecting member 10 adjacent to a peripheral edge of the wavelength conversion member 3. The covering member 5 contains any one of a pigment and a dye. A body color of the wavelength conversion member 3 and a body color of the covering member 5 are similar.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1B 【課題】発光時に発光領域と非発光領域とのコントラストが大きく、かつ、非発光時に発光装置の上面全体が波長変換部材の色彩となる発光装置および発光装置の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】発光装置１００は、発光面と側面を有する発光素子１と、発光素子１の発光面上に、第１面と前記第１面の反対側に第２面を有し、前記第１面に前記発光面を対面させて設けられた波長変換部材３と、発光素子１の側面に設けられるとともに波長変換部材３の少なくとも一部の外側面を被覆する反射部材１０と、波長変換部材３の周縁に隣接して、反射部材１０の上面に設けられた被覆部材５と、を備え、被覆部材５は、顔料および染料のいずれか１つを含有しており、波長変換部材３の体色と被覆部材５の体色は同系色である。【選択図】図１Ｂ
