Claim:
1. A light emitting element comprising; a semiconductor stack including a first conductivity type semiconductor layer and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer with the second conductivity type semiconductor layer being disposed over the first conductivity type semiconductor layer, the second conductivity type semiconductor layer being a p-type semiconductor layer, a first electrode formed on the first conductivity type semiconductor layer, and a second electrode formed on the second conductivity type semiconductor layer, the first electrode and the second electrode being disposed on the same face side of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer and the second conductivity type semiconductor layer, in plan view, the first electrode and the second electrode are entirely surrounded by the p-type semiconductor layer of the semiconductor stack, the first electrode having a first connecting portion, a first extending portion, and two second extending portions, the second electrode having a second connecting portion, two third extending portions, and two fourth extending portions, the first extending portion extending linearly from the first connecting portion toward the second connecting portion, the two second extending portions extending parallel to the first extending portion on two sides of the first extending portion, the two third extending portions each extending parallel to the first extending portion between the first extending portion and the two second extending portions, the two fourth extending portions each extending on the outside of the second extending portions and parallel to the first extending portion, and being bent toward the first connecting portion at distal ends, with the fourth extending portions each having two bent portions, each of the distal ends of the fourth extending portions including a portion parallel to a first portion of a corresponding one of the second extending portions on the outside of the corresponding one of the second extending portions, and extending closer to the first connecting portion than an imaginary line that extends along a second portion of the corresponding one of the second extending portions, with the second portion extending parallel to the first extending portion, and distances between second extending portions and third extending portions adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first extending portion being shorter than distances between the first extending portion and the respective third extending portions.
