A light emitting device includes a first light transmissive supportive substrate having a first light transmissive insulator and a conductive circuitry layer provided on a surface of the first light transmissive insulator, a second light transmissive supportive substrate having a second light transmissive insulator and disposed in such a way that a surface of the second light transmissive insulator faces the conductive circuitry layer and so as to have a predetermined gap from the first light transmissive supportive substrate, a light emitting diode having a main body, and first and second electrodes provided on a surface of the main body and electrically connected to the conductive circuitry layer via a conductive bump, and laid out between the first and second light transmissive supportive substrates, and a third light transmissive insulator embedded in a space between the first light transmissive supportive substrate and the second light transmissive supportive substrate.
