A light emitting element includes a light emitting element having a first face on which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided. A wavelength converting material covers a whole of the light emitting element except for the first face such that a surface of the wavelength converting material and the first face constitute a substantially flat plane. A first electrically conductive material is provided on the first face and the surface of the wavelength converting material to be electrically connected to the first electrode. A second electrically conductive material is provided on the first face and the surface of the wavelength converting material to be electrically connected to the second electrode. An insulating member is disposed on the first electrically conductive material, the second electrically conductive material, and the first face between the first electrode and the second electrode.
