Method for manufacturing light emitting device

A method for manufacturing a light emitting device, the method comprising:

• preparing a light transmissive member block having a plate like shape and comprising a first light transmissive member block and a second light transmissive member block, the first light transmissive member block having a plate like shape and comprising a resin containing at least one phosphor, the second light transmissive member block comprising a material harder than a material of the first light transmissive member block, an upper face of the first light transmissive member block being bonded to a lower face of the second light transmissive member block;
• forming grooves on an upper face of the second light transmissive member block of the light transmissive member block;
• dividing the light transmissive member block at the grooves to obtain a plurality of light transmissive members each having a first light transmissive member and a second light transmissive member;
• and
• bonding a lower face of the first light transmissive member and an upper face of a light emitting element together such that a lower face perimeter of the first light transmissive member is located outside of an upper face perimeter of the light emitting element,
• wherein the grooves each have an oblique part spreading out from an upper face side of the second light transmissive member to a lateral face of the second light transmissive member at a height above a lower face side of the second light transmissive member.
