The light-emitting element 1 is placed on or above the inner bottom surface 2b of the base member 2 defining the recess 2a.
As shown in FIG. 3A, in Step S11 of providing a first in-process product, the first in-process product 10 in which the light-emitting element 1 is placed on or above the inner bottom surface 2b of the base member 2 having the recess 2a defined by the inner bottom surface 2b and the lateral walls 2c is provided. In Step S11 of providing a first in-process product, the light-emitting element 1 is electrically connected to the wiring 6 on the base member 2 by wires or bumps.
Injecting Resin
The light-transmissive member 3 containing the light-diffusing agent 4 including the hollow particles is injected into the recess 2a. Hereinafter, a case in which a silicone resin is used for a material of the light-transmissive member 3 will be illustrated.
As shown in FIG. 3B, in Step S12 of injecting resin, a silicone resin to be the light-transmissive member 3 is injected and filled into the recess 2a of the base member 2. In Step S12 of injecting resin, the light-diffusing agent 4 has been added to a silicone resin, and the light-diffusing agent 4 is uniformly dispersed in the silicone resin. The silicone resin is dropped into the recess 2a of the base member 2 by using, for example, a potting technique with the use of a dispenser.
