Method for manufacturing light emitting device
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a light emitting device, comprising:
- providing a first support member;
providing a soluble member on the first support member such that a second surface of the soluble member directly contacts the first support member, the soluble member being soluble in a solvent and having a first surface opposite to the second surface;
providing a light emitting element on the first surface of the soluble member, the light emitting element having a light emitting surface from which the light emitting element is configured to emit light in a light emitting direction, a bottom surface opposite to the light emitting surface in the light emitting direction, and a light emitting element outer peripheral side surface provided between the light emitting surface and the bottom surface, the light emitting surface contacting the first surface of the soluble member;
providing a second light-transmissive member on the first surface of the soluble member to cover the light emitting element outer peripheral side surface, the second light-transmissive member having a first side surface contacting the light emitting element outer peripheral side surface, a second light-transmissive member upper surface facing toward the light emitting direction and contacting the first surface of the soluble member, and a second side surface connecting the first side surface and the second light-transmissive member upper surface, the soluble member including a peripheral portion surrounding a periphery of the second light-transmissive member upper surface when viewed in the light emitting direction;
removing the peripheral portion of the soluble member to provide a soluble member outer peripheral side surface provided between the first surface and the second surface of the soluble member;
providing a light-blocking member made of a material which is not soluble in the solvent to cover the second side surface of the second light-transmissive member 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 and the second side surface of the second light-transmissive member;
removing the first support member from the soluble member after the light-blocking member is provided;
removing the soluble member using the solvent to provide a recess surrounded by the inner side wall of the light-blocking member; and
providing a first light-transmissive member in the recess.

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.
