A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device includes: preparing a first structure comprising: a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface on a side opposite the first surface, a release layer disposed on the first surface, and one or more light-emitting elements fixed to the first surface of the first substrate via the release layer, the one or more light-emitting elements each having a third surface facing the release layer and a fourth surface on a side opposite the third surface, the fourth surface being larger than the third surface in a plan view, wherein: the release layer encloses the fourth surface in the plan view; preparing a second structure comprising a second substrate having an upper surface; and transferring the one or more light-emitting elements from the first substrate to the second substrate by removing the release layer.
