Patent ID: 8586391

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a light-emitting device, the method comprising: providing a plate-shaped substrate; forming a lattice frame comprising a horizontal frame and a vertical frame on a light-emitting element mounting surface of the plate-shaped substrate, the forming of the lattice frame comprising applying an uncured resin on the light-emitting element mounting surface such that a gap is formed in the uncured resin at an intersection of the horizontal frame and the vertical frame, and then curing the uncured resin; mounting a light-emitting device in an opening of the lattice frame on the light-emitting element mounting surface; sealing the light-emitting element by supplying a sealing material into the opening of the lattice frame; and cutting the lattice frame and the plate-shaped substrate so as to split the lattice flame to obtain a plurality of light-emitting devices with a sidewall.
