Light emitting device and method for fabricating the same

A light emitting device, comprising:

• a metallic layer;
• a plurality of light emitting device cells arranged above the metallic layer, and including a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer below the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer below the active layer;
• a connection section connecting the light emitting device cells to each other in series;
• an insulating layer provided between the metallic layer and the light emitting device cells, and including a first insulating layer electrically insulating the light emitting device cells from each other and a second insulating layer insulating the connection section from the metallic layer;
• electrodes provided above the first conductive semiconductor layer of the light emitting device cells;
• a contact section connecting the second conductive semiconductor layer of the light emitting device cells to the metallic layer through a contact hole formed in the second insulting layer, and forming a first node;
• and
• a pad provided on at least one of the electrodes, and forming a second node,
• wherein each light emitting device cell is directly physically connected with the connection section through a hole formed in the first insulating layer, and
• wherein the electrodes are not in direct physical contact with the connection section.
