Light emitting module

A light emitting module comprising:

• a light guiding plate being light-transmissive and having a first main surface as a light exiting surface, and a second main surface positioned opposite to the first main surface;
• a light emitting element disposed at the second main surface of the light guiding plate and configured to emit light toward the light guiding plate;
• an optical function part being greater in size than a light emitting surface of the light emitting element, the optical function part being disposed in the first main surface of the light guiding plate so as to correspond to an optical axis of the light emitting element;
• and
• a light-cutting scattering layer disposed on a first main surface side of the light guiding plate so as to correspond to the optical axis of the light emitting element,
• wherein the optical function part is a recess formed on the light guiding plate,
• wherein the first main surface of light guiding plate defines a first region having the optical function part formed thereon, and a second region other than the first region, and
• wherein the light-cutting scattering layer continuously covers the first region, not the second region as seen in a plan view, and
• wherein an outline of the light-cutting scattering layer is greater than an outline of the optical function part as seen in a plan view.
