Abstract
A method for manufacturing a light emitting module including the steps of: preparing a light source including a light emitting element that has a pair of electrodes on the same surface side, and an encapsulation member that covers the light emitting element so as to expose a portion of a surface of the pair of electrodes; preparing a lightguide plate having a first primary surface to be a light emitting surface, and a second primary surface on an opposite side from the first primary surface, wherein the second primary surface has a recessed portion that has a bottom surface and at least one lateral surface; placing the light source on the bottom surface of the recessed portion with the electrodes facing up so as to be spaced apart from the lateral surface of the recessed portion; arranging a cover member that buries a gap between the lateral surface of the recessed portion and the light source and covers the light source including the electrodes; removing the cover member until the electrodes are exposed; and forming a metal film electrically connected to the light emitting elements.
