A light emitting apparatus includes: a sealing member () forming a sealing region sealing a planar light emitting unit; and a wiring member () including a conductive unit () electrically connected to the planar light emitting unit and extending from the sealing region to an outside. The sealing member () has a drawing port opened at a periphery of the sealing member for drawing the wiring member () to the outside. The wiring member () includes: an internal wiring portion () in which the conductive unit () is disposed in the sealing region; an external wiring portion () in which the conductive unit () is disposed in the outside; and a boundary wiring portion () in which the conductive unit () is disposed in the drawing port and which has a smaller thickness than the internal wiring portion () and/or the external wiring portion (). Such a configuration provides a light emitting apparatus having a sealing structure of the planar light emitting unit for suppressing deterioration of sealing performance due to disposition of the wiring member.
