Light emitting device

A light emitting device comprising:

• a light emitting surface;
• a back surface arranged on an opposite side of the light emitting surface;
• a mounting surface connecting the light emitting surface and the back surface;
• a light emitting element having
• a first main surface, which is a main light emitting surface, arranged on a light emitting surface side of the light emitting device,
• a second main surface arranged on an opposite side of the first main surface,
• a lateral surface arranged between the first main surface and the second main surface, and
• at least one electrode arranged on the second main surface;
• a light shielding member covering the lateral surface of the light emitting element and not covering the first main surface of the light emitting element, a part of the light shielding member constituting a part of the back surface of the light emitting device;
• a terminal coating film electrically connected to the at least one electrode, and arranged continuously on a part of the back surface and a part of the mounting surface of the light emitting device;
• and
• an electrically conductive member in contact with the at least one electrode and the terminal coating film to electrically connect the at least one electrode with the terminal coating film, a part of the electrically conductive member being exposed from the light shielding member at the back surface and at the mounting surface of the light emitting device such that at least a part of an exposed surface of the electrically conductive member is in direct contact with the terminal coating film, the electrically conductive member being made from electrically conductive paste or solder.
