Light emitting device using wavelength conversion member, method of manufacturing wavelength conversion member, and method of manufacturing light emitting device

A method of manufacturing a light emitting device, comprising:

• manufacturing a wavelength conversion member according to a method of manufacturing a wavelength conversion member comprising:
• disposing a fluorescent material paste containing a fluorescent material and a binder on a surface of a light-transmissive body;
• orienting face-down the surface where the fluorescent material paste is disposed, to settle the fluorescent material in the fluorescent material paste on a side opposite to another side of the fluorescent material paste, the another side being in contact with the light-transmissive body;
• and
• curing the binder in a state where the fluorescent material has been settled, to form a fluorescent material layer;
• providing a light emitting element;
• and
• joining the light emitting element and the wavelength conversion member to each other so that the fluorescent material layer is oriented toward the light emitting element.
