LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE

A light emitting device includes a substrate, light emitting cells, each of the light emitting cells including a light emitting structure including lower and upper semiconductor layers, an upper electrode, and a lower electrode, a conductive interconnection layer electrically connecting a lower electrode of a first one of the light emitting cells and an upper electrode of a second one of the light emitting cells, and a current blocking layer disposed to extend from between the upper electrode and the upper semiconductor layer, wherein each light emitting cell further includes a conductive layer arranged to electrically connect the upper electrode of the second light emitting cell to the upper semiconductor layer of the second light emitting cell.
