Abstract
A light-emitting device includes: a first lead including a bonding region and a first outer edge extending generally parallel to a first direction; a light-emitting element bonded to the bonding region; a second lead including an electrical connection region connected to the light-emitting element; and a molded body including a first side surface generally perpendicular to the first direction, a second side surface provided on a side opposite to the first side surface and being generally perpendicular to the first direction, a lower surface, and a recess provided in a surface opposite to the lower surface, the molded body being formed so that one end portion of the first lead protrudes from the first side surface, the other end portion of the first lead and an end portion of the second lead each protrude from the second side surface, and the bonding region and the electrical connection region are exposed from a bottom surface of the recess. The one end portion of the first lead and the end portion of the second lead each are bent downward, the other end portion of the first lead are bent upward or downward, and a width of the first lead across the bonding region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction are narrower than a width of the one end portion and wider than a width of the other end portion.
