Abstract

Provided are a vertical-type light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same. The light emitting device includes a p-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and an n-type semi-conductor layer that are stacked, a cover layer disposed on a p-type electrode layer to surround the p-type electrode layer, a conductive support layer disposed on the cover layer, and an n-type electrode layer disposed on the n-type semiconductor layer.
