Abstract: [Problem] To provide a chip-on-board light emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same such that even though the light emitting device is a chip-on-board light emitting device, it is possible to improve color rendering thereof without excessively reducing the amount of light emission and without installing special circuit patterns or performing current control. [Solution] A chip-on-board light emitting device in which a plurality of LED elements are mounted directly on a package substrate includes a circuit pattern formed on the package substrate, the circuit pattern including a plurality of mounting sections on which the plurality of LED elements are mounted and an anode electrode and cathode electrode pair.
