Light-emitting device

A light emitting device comprising:

• a light emitting element having a first major surface and a side surface and having an optical axis of emitted light perpendicular to the first major surface;
• a lead provided with a first recess in one end portion of the lead and made of a metal, the light emitting element being provided on a bottom surface of the first recess;
• a molded body provided with a second recess, the light emitting element being exposed to the second recess, a sidewall of the second recess having a slope same as a slope of a sidewall of the first recess;
• a sealing resin layer covering the light emitting element, provided in the first and second recess, and including a first curved surface having a vertex on the optical axis and being convex toward light emitting side and an envelope surface generated by moving a second curved surface which has a vertex on a line parallel to the optical axis and is convex toward the light emitting side, the second curved surface being moved under a condition that the line passes through the sidewall of the first recess or the sidewall of the second recess.
