Abstract
A light emitting module includes: light emitting elements arranged with a distance interposed therebetween, each of the light emitting elements includes: a first light emitting surface, and second light emitting surfaces bordering the first light emitting surface; optical wavelength conversion members that convert a wavelength of light emitted from corresponding light emitting elements; and a reflecting member that extends from a gap between adjacent light emitting elements to a gap between the adjacent optical wavelength conversion members so as to surround each of the light emitting elements and so as to separate the adjacent light emitting elements. The reflecting member includes reflecting surfaces that respectively face each of the second light emitting surfaces. Each of the reflecting surfaces is inclined such that a distance between the reflecting surface and the second light emitting surface that the reflecting surface faces is gradually increased toward the optical wavelength conversion member.
