• a substrate;
• a light source having an optical axis, a light source bottom portion, and a light source upper portion opposite to the light source bottom portion in the optical axis, the light source being provided on the substrate at the light source bottom portion;
• and
• a covering member having a bottom surface and a top portion opposite to the bottom surface in the optical axis and provided on the substrate at the bottom surface to cover the light source, an outer periphery of the covering member being provided within an outer periphery of the substrate when viewed along a direction substantially parallel to the optical axis, the covering member having a recess portion on the top portion above the light source and around the optical axis, the covering member tapering toward the bottom surface.
