Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing a light emitting device comprising: disposing a group of electrically conductive members on a support substrate, the group of the electrically conductive members being arranged into a plurality of electrode pairs respectively corresponding to a plurality of mounting portions arranged in two or more columns and two or more rows with the mounting portions respectively corresponding to a plurality of light emitting elements, with each of the electrode pairs including a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and a planar dimension of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in each of the electrode pairs being the same or smaller than a planar dimension of a corresponding one of the light emitting elements; placing the light emitting elements on the group of the electrically conductive members with a bonding member being disposed between the light emitting elements and the electrically conductive members, each of the light emitting elements being respectively mounted on a corresponding one of the mounting portions with each of the light emitting elements being shifted from the corresponding one of the mounting portions; and melting the bonding member to mount the light emitting elements respectively on the mounting portions so that the light emitting elements are disposed adjacent to each other after the light emitting elements are shifted toward each other both in a column direction and in a row direction by self-alignment effect generated by the melting of the bonding member.
