Claim:
1. A side-view type light emitting device having a bottom surface thereof as a light emission surface and a first lateral surface thereof as a mounting surface for mounting on a mounting substrate, the light emitting device comprising: a stacked semiconductor layer including a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer, the first semiconductor layer, the active layer and the second semiconductor layer being stacked in that order from a side of the bottom surface; a first connecting electrode exposed from the first lateral surface and electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer; a metal wire having one end thereof electrically connected to an upper surface of the second semiconductor layer; a second connecting electrode exposed from the first lateral surface and electrically connected to the other end of the metal wire, wherein at least a portion of the second connecting electrode and at least a portion of the second semiconductor layer are in a same laterally extending plane, and the second connecting electrode is on laterally outer side of the second semiconductor layer; and a resin layer covering at least a part of each of the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, the first connecting electrode, the second connecting electrode and the metal wire, the resin layer being configured to form an upper surface and lateral surfaces of the light emitting device, wherein, in a direction perpendicular to the light emission surface, the active layer does not overlap with the first connecting electrode, and the active layer does not overlap with the second connecting electrode.
