Method of manufacturing light emitting device

A method for manufacturing a light emitting device, comprising:

• disposing light emitting elements on a substrate;
• preparing a light-shielding frame having a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side from the first main surface, the light-shielding frame defining a through-hole extending between the first main surface and the second main surface, and the light-shielding frame having at least one convex portion on the second main surface;
• supplying a light reflecting resin to the second main surface of the light-shielding frame so that the light reflecting resin comes into contact with the convex portion and the convex portion is at least partially covered by the light reflecting resin;
• preparing a light-transmissive member having
• a first surface with an outer periphery that is smaller than an inner periphery of the first main surface of the light-shielding frame surrounding the through-hole in a plan view,
• a second surface on an opposite side from the first surface,
• a first side surface contiguous with the first surface,
• a second side surface located outside of the first side surface in the plan view, the second side surface being contiguous with the second surface, and
• a third surface contiguous with the first side surface and the second side surface;
• bringing the third surface of the light-transmissive member into contact with the convex portion of the light-shielding frame, or with the light reflecting resin that is in contact with the convex portion, while the first side surface of the light-transmissive member and an inside surface of the light-shielding frame are separated from each other, so that the light reflecting resin is disposed between the first side surface of the light-transmissive member and the inside surface of the light-shielding frame;
• curing the light reflecting resin to form a first light reflecting member thereby forming an optical member in which the light-shielding frame and the light-transmissive member are joined by the first light reflecting member;
• and
• joining upper surfaces of the light emitting elements and the second surface of the light-transmissive member.
