Method of manufacturing light emitting device

A light emitting device comprising:

• a light emitting element that comprises a first electrode and a second electrode located at a lower surface of the light emitting element;
• a covering member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of lateral surfaces extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, wherein the covering member covers the light emitting element such that at least a portion of a lower surface of each of the first electrode and the second electrode is exposed from the lower surface of the covering member and such that the lower surface of the covering member is flush with the exposed portion of the lower surface of each of the first electrode and the second electrode;
• first and second metal layers, each of which covers and directly contacts (i) the exposed portion of the lower surface of a respective one of the first and second electrodes, (ii) a respective portion of the lower surface of the covering member that is flush with the exposed portion of the lower surface of each of the first electrode and the second electrode, and (iii) at least one of the lateral surfaces of the covering member.
