Light emitting device including light emitting element with multiple light emitting cells

A light emitting device includes a light emitting element and a mounting substrate on which the light emitting element is mounted such that the mounting substrate faces an upper side of the light emitting element. The light emitting element includes a substrate, first and second light emitting cells each including a semiconductor layered structure that includes an n-side semiconductor layer and a p-side semiconductor layer in order from a substrate side, a first insulating layer, wiring electrodes, and a second insulating layer. One of the wiring electrodes is electrically connected to the n-side semiconductor layer of the first light emitting cell and to the p-side semiconductor layer of the second light emitting cell. The mounting substrate includes wiring terminals, one of which is electrically connected to the n-side semiconductor layer of the first light emitting cell and to the p-side semiconductor layer of the second light emitting cell.
