1. A light emitting element comprising:
a semiconductor structure; and
first and second electrodes formed above the semiconductor structure, wherein:
in a plan view:
the first electrode consists of a first pad electrode configured to be bonded with a first conductive wire and electrically connected to a first external electrode or a first external terminal, and three extending portions extending from the first pad electrode, the three extending portions being a first extending portion, and exactly two second extending portions,
the second electrode consists of a second pad electrode configured to be bonded with a second conductive wire and electrically connected to a second external electrode or a second external terminal, and two third extending portions extending from the second pad electrode,
the first extending portion extends linearly in a direction from the first pad electrode toward the second pad electrode,
each of the two second extending portions includes a bent portion, and a linear portion that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the direction in which the first extending portion extends,
each of the two third extending portions includes a bent portion, and a linear portion that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the direction in which the first extending portion extends and that is located between the first extending portion and a respective one of the linear portions of the two second extending portions, and
along an imaginary line that extends through the two second extending portions and the two third extending portions in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first extending portion extends, an entirety of the second electrode is located inward of the two second extending portions.
