Abstract
There is provided a light-emitting apparatus formed by attaching a device substrate where light-emitting device is formed and a sealing substrate which seals the device substrate through a sealing material and sealing the light-emitting device between the device substrate and the sealing substrate through the sealing material, wherein the sealing material includes a first sealing material and a second sealing material, wherein the first sealing material is formed to surround the light-emitting device between the device substrate and the sealing substrate and to have a sealing hole portion formed by not disposing the first sealing material, so that the first sealing material is discontinuous, wherein the sealing hole portion of the first sealing material is closed with the second sealing material, so that the second sealing material and the first sealing material constitute a ring-shaped sealing member, and wherein the first sealing material is provided with guide portions which are formed to be continuous with at least one side where the sealing hole portion is formed and to extend to an inner surface of the device substrate without being covered with the sealing substrate so as to be exposed.
