Abstract

A nanometer size roughened structure is formed on a surface of a light-emitting element, and luminous efficiency is improved.The roughened structure on the surface of the light-emitting element of the invention is formed into the following shape such that the refractive index smoothly changes: The surface of such light-emitting element is obtained by forming a thin film on the surface of the light-emitting element using a resin composition which contains a block copolymer or graft copolymer and forms a micophase-separated structure in a self-organization manner; selectively removing at least one phase of the microphase-separated structure of the thin film formed on the surface; and etching the surface of the light-emitting element using the remaining phase as an etching mask.
