Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
manufacturing a covering member by performing steps comprising:
a step of providing a first light-reflective member comprising a through-hole, the through-hole having first and second openings,
a step of arranging a light-transmissive resin containing a wavelength-conversion material within the through-hole,
a step of distributing the wavelength-conversion material predominantly on a side of the first opening of the through-hole within the light-transmissive resin, and
after the step of distributing the wavelength-conversion material, a step of removing a portion of the light-transmissive resin from a side of the second opening of the through-hole; and

manufacturing a light emitting device by performing steps comprising:
a step of providing a light-emitting element having a light extraction surface,
a step of bonding the light extraction surface of the light-emitting element to the light-transmissive resin of the covering member,
a step of forming a second light-reflective member so as to be bonded to the first light-reflective member around the light-emitting element and cover a lateral surface of the light-emitting element, and
after the step of forming the second light-reflective member, a step of removing a part of the second light-reflective member to expose an electrode of the light-emitting element.
