## Abstract

A light emitting device, a display panel, and a display panel manufacturing method are provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The light emitting device includes a first electrode, and second electrode arranged around the first electrode, and the second electrode is symmetrically disposed with respect to the first electrode. A distance from each of points on the second electrode to a center point of the first electrode is equal. When the light emitting device is transferring, any point on the second electrode abuts the corresponding electrode, thereby reducing the difficulty in a mass transfer process of the light-emitting device.
