Abstract: The light emitting apparatus according to the present invention includes: a first substrate; a light emitting element supported on a surface of the first substrate; a second substrate spaced from and facing the surface of the first substrate; an adjusting layer supported on a surface of the second substrate facing the light emitting element; a barrier member provided between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to surround the light emitting element and the adjusting layer; and a sealing member filling a space surrounded by the first substrate, the second substrate, and the barrier member. The adjusting layer includes a surface which faces the first substrate and includes an adjusting surface. The adjusting layer is formed so that a distance between the adjusting surface and the first substrate becomes greater towards an outer edge of the adjusting layer than at a center part of the adjusting layer.

Abstract: A planar light emitting device includes an element substrate, a cover substrate of a rectangular plate shape, and a bonding section. The element substrate includes an optically-transparent substrate of a rectangular plate shape, and an organic EL element formed on one surface side of the optically-transparent substrate. The bonding section is formed in a rectangular frame shape surrounding a light emitting section of the organic EL element on the one surface side of the optically-transparent substrate, and is made of an adhesive that bonds the element substrate to the cover substrate. The bonding section has a wide section in a portion along a non-cut surface, which is not a cut surface, of four side surfaces of the optically-transparent substrate. The wide section is wider than the other portions.
