| abstract |
A soluble member is provided on a light emitting surface of a light emitting element. The soluble member is soluble in a solvent. The soluble member has a first surface facing the light emitting surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface in the light emitting direction, and a soluble member outer peripheral side surface provided between the first surface and the second surface. A light-blocking member made of a material which is not soluble in the solvent is provided to cover a light emitting element outer peripheral side surface and the soluble member outer peripheral side surface so that an inner side wall of the light-blocking member contacts the soluble member outer peripheral side surface. The soluble member is removed using the solvent to provide a recess surrounded by the inner side wall of the light-blocking member. A first light-transmissive member is provided in the recess. |
