## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device includes a substrate, a first light-emitting chip, a first wavelength conversion member, and a barrier member. The first light-emitting chip is mounted on the substrate. The first wavelength conversion member covers the upper surface of the first light-emitting chip. A first reflective member covers the side surface of the first wavelength conversion member. Further, the barrier member includes an outer wall surrounding the side surfaces of the first light-emitting chip and the first reflective member.
