A light-emitting element includes a light-emitting layer, an upper electrode provided on a first side of the light-emitting layer, and a lower electrode provided on a second side of the light-emitting layer opposite to the first side. The lower electrode is constituted by a first electrode and a second electrode including a first gap therebetween, the second electrode having an area larger than that of the first electrode. The upper electrode is constituted by a third electrode and a fourth electrode including a second gap therebetween, the third electrode facing the first electrode and the second electrode, the fourth electrode facing the second electrode and having an area smaller than that of the third electrode.
