Abstract

A light emitting device is provided. The light emitting device includes a first electrode layer, a light emitting structure, and a second electrode layer. The light emitting structure is formed on the first electrode layer to emit blue series light having a main peak wavelength region of about 430 nm to about 470 nm, and includes a light extraction structure. The second electrode layer includes a first layer, which is formed of a metal material different from a wavelength of the blue series light in Plasmon frequencies, on the light extraction structure.
