A lighting device is formed using a light-emitting element by a more simplified method. The lighting device includes a light-emitting element including a light-emitting layer between a first electrode and a second electrode, a substrate provided with the light-emitting element and an uneven region around the periphery of the light-emitting element, a sealing substrate facing the substrate, connection electrodes connected to the first electrode and the second electrode and formed over the uneven region, and a sealant for bonding the substrate and the sealing substrate. The connection electrodes are each formed using a conductive paste, and the sealant is in contact with the connection electrodes and the uneven region provided around the periphery of the light-emitting element.
