Abstract:
1. A light emitting apparatus for illuminating a surface to be illuminated, wherein: the light emitting apparatus comprises: a belt-like substrate; a plurality of light emitting elements mounted on a mount surface of the substrate at predetermined intervals along a lengthwise direction of the substrate; and a plurality of luminous flux control members mounted on the mount surface at the predetermined intervals along the lengthwise direction, the luminous flux control members respectively receiving lights emitted from the light emitting elements, controlling an arrangement of the incident lights, and emitting the incident lights in an emission direction; and the substrate comprises a pair of fracture surfaces formed at predetermined intervals along the lengthwise direction and formed at both ends in a widthwise direction between luminous flux control members neighboring each other along the lengthwise direction, a dimension in the widthwise direction between the pair of fracture surfaces being less than a dimension in the widthwise direction of the luminous flux control member, and the dimension in the widthwise direction of a part overlapping the luminous flux control member in a plan view being less than the dimension in the widthwise direction between the pair of fracture surfaces.
