Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a transparent substrate, a light-emitting element arranged on or above one main surface of the transparent substrate, and a porous layer arranged on or above the other main surface of the transparent substrate, the porous layer being an organic material layer having a plurality of pores. Inner surfaces of some pores among the plurality of pores may be exposed at a main surface of the porous layer opposite to a side on which the transparent substrate lies. A gas may be present in the pores the inner surfaces of which are exposed.
