Claim:
1. A light emitting device comprising; a light emitting structure comprising a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer under the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer under the active layer; a first electrode electrically coupled to the first conductive semiconductor layer; a second electrode electrically coupled to the second conductive semiconductor layer; a channel layer at a peripheral portion of a lower portion of the light emitting structure; an insulating layer under the second electrode and the channel layer; a conductive support member under the insulating layer such that the insulating layer electrically insulates the second electrode from the conductive support member; a first connection part electrically coupled to the first electrode and the conductive support member; and a second connection part electrically coupled to the second electrode, wherein one end of the second connection part is spaced apart from a sidewall of the light emitting structure, and exposed to a lateral side of the light emitting structure, wherein a top surface of the channel layer is provided to be higher than a top surface of the active layer, wherein the first connection part is electrically connected to the conductive support member and passes through the insulating layer, wherein a top surface of the second connection part is disposed higher than the top surface of the active layer and lower than a top surface of the first conductive semiconductor layer, and wherein the one end of the second connection part is exposed and protruded upwards from the top surface of the channel layer, wherein the insulating layer surrounds the channel layer and the second electrode, wherein the top surface of the channel layer and a top surface of the insulating layer are disposed on the same horizontal plane, wherein the portion of the insulating layer through which the first connection part passes and the portion of the channel layer through which the second connection part passes horizontally overlap each other.
