Patent ID: 8746932

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a light emitting device comprising the step ( 1 ) of forming a slit crossing a region for forming light emitting element part in a metal substrate, the step ( 2 ) of filling the slit with an insulating material, the step ( 3 ) of forming a light emitting element part in the region for forming light emitting element part, and the step ( 4 ) of cutting the metal substrate on which the light emitting element part is formed into units each comprising one or more of the light emitting element parts, wherein: a recess for serving as resin reservoir is formed across the slit in a region of the metal substrate other than the region immediately under the region for forming light emitting element part in the step ( 1 ), and the recess is filled with a resin in the step ( 2 ), and in the step of filling the slit with an insulating material, a jig having the same or larger size compared with the size of the metal substrate, in which a convex member having mold release properties is formed at a position corresponding to the slit is closely contacted with the metal substrate so that the convex member should seal the bottom portion of the slit, and then the slit is filled with an insulating material.
