LIGHT-EMITTING ELEMENT

A light-emitting element includes: a semiconductor layered structure including a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, and an active layer located between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer; a reflective portion including an insulative first layer located on the first semiconductor layer, a second layer made of a metal material located on the first layer, and a third layer located on the second layer; an insulative layer covering the reflective portion; a light-transmissive conductive layer located on the insulative layer and on the first semiconductor layer; a first electrode located on a portion of the light-transmissive conductive layer that is above the reflective portion; and a second electrode located on the second semiconductor layer.
