Claim:
1. A light emitting device comprising: a base member; anode and cathode wiring islands made of electrically-conductive members arranged on the base member such that a non-wiring portion is formed on the base member; a light emitting element that is arranged on the non-wiring portion of an upper surface of said base member in a non-overlapping manner relative to an entirety of said anode and cathode wiring islands on said base member as viewed in plan view and is electrically connected to each of said anode and cathode wiring islands by wires; and a sealing member that covers said light emitting element, at least a part of said base member, and said anode and cathode wiring islands, and includes a wavelength conversion member, wherein the part of said base member and said anode and cathode wiring islands, which are covered by said sealing member, are divided into first and second sections by a straight line that passes through the center of said sealing member as viewed in plan view, wherein said anode and cathode wiring islands are arranged so that the area of said anode and cathode wiring islands in said first section is larger than in said second section, wherein said light emitting element is arranged so that the area of the light emitting element in said second section is larger than in said first section, and wherein the height of said sealing member at a position in said second section is greater than at a position in said first section.
