Abstract

The light emitting apparatus includes a light emitting device including a first base at which a laminate is provided and a second base at which the light emitting device is provided. The laminate includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer of a conductivity type different from the conductivity type of the first semiconductor layer, and a light emitting layer provided between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer and capable of emitting light when current is injected into the light emitting layer. The laminate includes a plurality of columnar sections. Connecting member is so provided between the adjacent columnar sections as to be connected to the adjacent columnar sections. The laminate is connected to the second base on the side opposite the first base.
