Claim:
1. A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting element including a semiconductor layered body, an insulating film, an n-side electrode, and a p-side electrode; a p-side post electrode; and an n-side post electrode, wherein the semiconductor layered body is substantially rectangular in a plan view and includes: the insulating film is disposed on the semiconductor layered body and includes at least one p-side opening disposed on the p-type semiconductor layer, and a plurality of n-side openings disposed on the n-type semiconductor layer at the portion within the region interior to the peripheral edge portion, the n-side electrode is disposed so as to extend from the top of the insulating film to the peripheral edge portion of the n-type semiconductor layer and includes a first n-contact portion electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer at the peripheral edge portion and a plurality of second n-contact portions electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer through the plurality of n-side openings, the p-side electrode is electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer through the at least one p-side opening; the p-side post electrode and at least one of the plurality of second n-contact portions are disposed on a side of a first edge of the semiconductor layered body in the plan view, and the p-side post electrode is disposed on the p-side electrode and electrically connected to the p-side electrode, the n-side post electrode and at least one of the second n-contact portions are disposed on a side of a second edge opposite to the first edge side in the plan view, and the n-side post electrode is disposed on the n-side electrode and electrically connected to the plurality of second n-contact portions, and the number of the at least one of the plurality of second n-contact portions disposed on the first edge side is smaller than the number of the at least one of the plurality of second n-contact portions disposed on the second edge side in the plan view.
