Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a base including a conductive wiring; a light-emitting element mounted on the base and configured to emit light; a light reflective film provided on an upper surface of the light-emitting element; and a encapsulant covering the light-emitting element and the light reflective film. A ratio (H/W) of a height (H) of the encapsulant to a width (W) of a bottom surface of the encapsulant is less than 0.5.
