Abstract: A light-emitting-element housing member includes: a bottom base material having a first surface, and a mounting part on the first surface on which a light emitting element is to be mounted; and a frame member that includes side walls erected on the first surface to surround the mounting part, and an opening that penetrates through one of the side walls. The opening includes an inner edge having a first side and a second side, the first side extends along the first surface and is arranged at a position close to the bottom base material, and the second side extends along the first surface and is arranged at a position far from the bottom base material, and the second side is longer than the first side. An array of the plurality of light-emitting-element housing members, and a light emitting device are also described.

Abstract: A light-emitting element housing member includes a substrate that is made of a ceramic and internally includes a deep-bottom-type space portion having an opening in at least one position thereof, wherein an inner wall of the space portion serves as a mounting part for a light-emitting element. A light-emitting element housing member includes a mounting part meant for mounting a light-emitting element and includes a substrate that includes a bottom base material having a rectangular shape in a planar view and a wall member provided on the bottom base material to enclose the mounting part in a U-shaped manner and have an opening in at least one portion thereof, wherein the substrate is integrally formed of a ceramic.
