Light emitting device, projector, and method of manufacturing light emitting device

A projector, comprising:

• a light emitting device, the light emitting device including:
• a light emitting element including a first base member, and a stacked body provided to the first base member, the first base member being plate-shaped, the first base member having a light-transmission optical property, a light emitted from the stacked body passing through the first base member;
• and
• a second base member on which the light emitting element is mounted;
• and
• a projection lens through which the light emitted from the light emitting device passes,
• wherein the stacked body is located between the first base member and the second base member,
• the stacked body includes:
• a first columnar section having a first height along a first direction;
• and
• a second columnar section having a second height along the first direction, and the second height is smaller than the first height,
• the first columnar section and the second columnar section each include:
• a first semiconductor layer;
• a second semiconductor layer different in conductivity type from the first semiconductor layer;
• and
• a light emitting layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, the light emitting layer being configured to emit the light in response to a current injected into the light emitting layer,
• the first columnar section and the second base member are electrically connected to each other via a first conductive member, and the first conductive member is located between the stacked body and the second base member,
• the second columnar section and the second base member are electrically connected to each other via a second conductive member, and the second conductive member is located between the stacked body and the second base member,
• the first conductive member has a third height along the first direction,
• the second conductive member has a fourth height along the first direction, and the fourth height is larger than the third height, and
• a side wall along the first direction of the first columnar section abuts a side wall along the first direction of the second columnar section via a first insulating layer.
