<p>Disclosed is a light emitting device (1) comprising: a substrate (2); a plurality of light emitting elements (3) provided on the substrate (2); a frame (4) that encloses all of the light emitting elements (3) provided on the substrate (2); and a wavelength conversion section (5) which is supported on the frame (4) and faces the light emitting elements (3) with a gap therebetween. In addition, the light emitting device (1) is provided with a sheet-shaped optical dispersion body (6) that is disposed between the light emitting elements (3) and wavelength conversion section (5) in a region that overlies the light emitting elements (3), when seen in plan view.</p>
