A light-emitting element including: a first semiconductor layer doped with a first type of dopant; a second semiconductor layer doped with a second type of dopant that is different from the first type of dopant; and an active layer between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, wherein a length of the light-emitting element measured in a first direction, which may be a direction in which the first semiconductor layer, the active layer, and the second semiconductor layer may be arranged, may be shorter than the width measured in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.
