A light emitting device includes: a substrate; a first electrode on the substrate; a metal member on the first electrode and having a cavity; a first insulating layer on the metal member and exposing the cavity therethrough; a bar-type LED having a first end portion and a second end portion; and a second electrode on the first insulating layer. The first end portion of the bar-type LED is in the cavity and electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second end portion of the bar-type LED protrudes outside of the cavity and is electrically connected to the second electrode.
