A light emitting device includes a mounting board, first and second light emitting elements and a light reflective covering member. The mounting board includes an insulating base, first and second lands arranged, and an intermediate part arranged between the first and second lands. The first and second light emitting elements are flip-chip mounted on the first and second lands, respectively. The light reflective covering member is provided above the intermediate part and covers lateral surfaces of the first and second light emitting elements. The light reflective covering member defines a recess part arranged above the intermediate part with a bottom of the recess part being positioned below top surfaces of the first and second light emitting elements and above the top surface of the intermediate part, and a surface of the light reflective covering member defining the recess part constitutes a part of an outer surface of the light emitting device. |
