Claim:
1. A nitride semiconductor light emitting element having an n-side electrode and a p-side electrode disposed on a light extraction side so that the nitride semiconductor light emitting element is mounted face-up, comprising: a substrate; a first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer that is formed on the substrate; an active layer that is formed on the first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer; a second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer that is formed on the active layer; an exposed portion on the first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer that is exposed by removing a part of the second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer and the active layer; a first current non-injection layer that is formed on a region on the second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer; a first current diffusing layer that is formed on the first current non-injection layer; a second current diffusing layer that is formed on another region on the second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer; a first electrode that is formed on the first current diffusing layer; a second electrode that is formed on the second current diffusing layer; and an extending portion of the first electrode that extends from the first electrode and is formed to reach a part of the exposed portion on the first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer, wherein the second current diffusing layer is not formed under the first electrode.
