A light emitting element structure may include at least one light emitting element which is disposed on a substrate and spaced apart from each other, and extends in a direction perpendicular to the substrate; an auxiliary layer which is disposed on the substrate, exposes at least a portion of the upper surface of the substrate, and surrounds the outer surface of the light emitting element; a current spreading layer which is disposed on the auxiliary layer and electrically contacts an end of the light emitting element; a first pad which is electrically connected to the end of the light emitting element, disposed on the current spreading layer, and does not to overlap the light emitting element; and a second pad which is electrically connected to another end of the light emitting element disposed on the upper surface of the exposed substrate and spaced apart from the auxiliary layer.
