A light-emitting module includes: a lightguide plate including a first primary surface, a second primary surface opposite to the first primary surface, and unit regions arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array, and defining first recesses in the first primary surface, each of the first recesses located in a respective one of the unit regions; light sources disposed at the first primary surface of the lightguide plate and each disposed in the first recess of a corresponding one of the unit regions; and a plurality of light-transmissive members each disposed in the first recess in a respective one of the unit regions so as to cover at least a portion of each lateral surface of its corresponding light source. The unit regions include at least one first unit region, in which an upper surface of the light-transmissive member forms a first depression extending toward a bottom of the first recess.
