Method for manufacturing light emitting apparatus, light emitting apparatus, and mounting base thereof

A method for manufacturing a light emitting apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• preparing a mounting plate as a metal plate on which at least one joint slit made up of a joint and an opening is provided in a predetermined direction, the joint configured to integrate multiple mounting plates of multiple light emitting apparatuses,
• mounting multiple light emitting elements on the metal plate in such a manner as set in array,
• fixing a reflector, which is plate-like and made of resin to be mounted on the metal plate in a superimposed manner, the plate-like reflector being provided with an aperture at a position corresponding to a position for mounting the light emitting element on the metal plate, and having a first reflector splitting groove formed on a position coinciding with the joint slit of the metal plate, and
• breaking the metal plate and the plate-like reflector being superimposed and fixed one on another, along the joint slit of the metal plate and the first reflector splitting groove of the plate-like reflector.
