Abstract
A light-emitting device includes: a substrate; a laminated structure provided at the substrate and having a plurality of columnar parts; and an electrode provided on a side opposite to a side of the substrate, of the laminated structure. The columnar part has: a first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer having a different electrical conductivity type from the first semiconductor layer; and an active layer provided between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The laminated structure has: a light propagation layer provided between the active layers of the columnar parts that are next to each other; a first low-refractive-index part provided between the light propagation layer and the substrate and having a lower refractive index than a refractive index of the light propagation layer; and a second low-refractive-index part provided between the light propagation layer and the electrode and having a lower refractive index than the refractive index of the light propagation layer.
