Micro light emitting element and image display element

In a micro light emitting element, a first metal film electrically connected to a second conductive layer is disposed on a surface on an opposite side of a light emitting surface side. The first metalfilm covers the second conductive layer. A first inclined angle of a first conductive layer side surface from a slope formed around a light emission layer to the light emitting surface is larger thana second inclined angle of the slope. The slope and the first conductive layer side surface are covered together by a second metal film. A first transparent insulating film is disposed between the slope and the second metal film. 微发光元件在与光放出面侧相反一侧的面上配置有与第二导电层导通的第一金属膜，第一金属膜覆盖第二导电层，从形成在发光层的周围倾斜面到光放出面的第一导电层侧面的第一倾斜角度比倾斜面的第二倾斜角度大，倾斜面及第一导电层侧面均由第二金属膜覆盖，在倾斜面与第二金属膜之间配置有第一透明绝缘膜。
