A light-emitting element includes a first semiconductor layer doped with an n-type dopant, a second semiconductor layer doped with a p-type dopant, a light emitting layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, and an insulating film that surrounds the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the light emitting layer. A doping concentration of the first semiconductor layer is in a predetermined range. A display device includes the light-emitting element.
