An LED module 101 is provided with an LED chip 200 that includes a sub-mount substrate 210 made of Si and a semiconductor layer 220 laminated on the sub-mount substrate 210. The module also includes white resin 280 that does not transmit light from the semiconductor layer 220 and that covers at least part of a side of the sub-mount substrate 210, where the side is connected to the surface on which the semiconductor layer 220 is laminated. These arrangements enhance the brightness of the LED module 101.
