Patent ID: 8426886

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting element; a wire connected to the light emitting element; and a substrate supporting the light emitting element, wherein: the substrate is formed with a first recess and a second recess that are open in a common surface of the substrate; the first recess includes a first bottom surface and a first side surface connected to the first bottom surface, the light emitting element being disposed on the first bottom surface; the second recess includes a second bottom surface and a second side surface connected to the second bottom surface, the wire being bonded to the second bottom surface; and both of the first side surface and the second side surface reach the common surface; the first side surface is connected to both of the second bottom surface and the second side surface; and an opening area of the first recess is larger than an opening area of the second recess, the light emitting device further comprising a lens including a convex surface, wherein the convex surface bulges in a direction in which the first recess opens and overlaps the first recess as viewed in the direction in which the first recess opens, wherein the substrate includes a raised portion formed on the common surface side and raised in the direction in which the first recess opens.
