Abstract
A light emitting element may include a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer including a first area, a second area, and a third area that have different doping concentrations, an active layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, and a first intermediate layer and a second intermediate layer that are disposed between at least one of the first area, the second area, and the third area. The first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer may include different materials.
