A light emitting device and method of fabricating the same using a wafer level package process are disclosed. The light emitting device has improved heat dissipation to prevent damage by heat, thereby achieving improvement in reliability and luminous efficacy. In addition, the light emitting device has a small difference in coefficients of thermal expansion and thus can reduce stress applied to a light emitting structure to prevent damage to the light emitting structure, thereby achieving improvement in reliability and luminous efficacy.
