The light emitting device includes a light emitting element having an electrode-formed surface on which electrode posts are formed; a covering member covering the electrode-formed surface and lateral surfaces of the light emitting element while forming an exposure portion of each of the electrode posts which are exposed from the covering member; a pair of electrode layers provided on a surface of the covering member and electrically connected to the exposed portions of the electrode posts; and a pair of electrode terminals which are respectively electrically connected to the electrode layers, having a surface area larger than a surface area of the electrode posts, and having an outer edge positioned at an end portion of the covering member; and an insulating member provided between the pair of the electrode terminals while being in contact with lateral surfaces of the pair of electrode terminals.
