A light-emitting unit includes: a wiring board; a plurality of light-emitting elements provided on the wiring board and electrically coupled with a wire layer of the wiring board; a light reflecting member provided on the wiring board, the light reflecting member covering a lateral surface of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements; a light diffusing layer covering the plurality of light-emitting elements and the light reflecting member; a wavelength conversion layer located on or above the light diffusing layer; and a plurality of light reflecting layers located between the light diffusing layer and the wavelength conversion layer, each of the light reflecting layers being located above a corresponding one of the plurality of light-emitting elements. An upper surface of the light reflecting member has a recess which includes at least one concave surface, and there is a space between the concave surface and the light diffusing layer.
