Light emitting device and method for manufacturing same

A light emitting device comprising:

• at least one light emitting element each having a light extraction face, the light extraction face having a light extraction face area, a first light transmissive member provided on the light extraction face in a height direction of the light emitting device, the first light transmissive member comprising:
• a first lower face bonded to each of the light extraction face of the at least one light emitting element and having an area larger than an area of the light extraction face of the single light emitting element, or a sum of areas of the light extraction faces of the plurality of the light emitting elements;
• a first upper face provided opposite to the first lower face in the height direction and having a first upper face perimeter;
• and
• a resin material containing a phosphor;
• a second light transmissive member provided on the first upper face of the first light transmissive member in the height direction, the second light transmissive member comprising:
• a second lower face bonded to the first upper face and having a second lower face perimeter that coincides with the first upper face perimeter when viewed in the height direction;
• a second upper face provided opposite to the second lower face in the height direction, the second upper face having an area smaller than an area of the light extraction face of the single light emitting element, or the sum of the areas of the light extraction faces of the plurality of the light emitting elements;
• and
• a glass material.

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 lower faces of the first light transmissive members and upper faces of light emitting elements together, respectively, such that lower face perimeters of the first light transmissive members are located outside of upper face perimeters of the light emitting elements, respectively.
