  • Publication number: 20220232700
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a light emitting element having element electrodes; a light guide member to receive incoming light from the light emitting element and to emit light spreading along a plane; and a substrate including a base substitute. Conductors are formed on a first surface of the base substrate. An adhesive member is formed on a second surface of the base substrate, and through-holes penetrating the substrate in a thickness direction of the substrate. The substrate is provided on the light emitting element via the adhesive member of the substrate such that a surface of the light emitting element is exposed through each of the through-holes to define a bottomed hole. Each of the element electrodes is connected to each of the conductors via a filler filling the bottomed hole. The filler has a lower surface than a surface carrying the conductors of the substrate in a cross-sectional view.
