A light emitting element includes a group III nitride semiconductor substrate that emits a light by absorbing a UV ray and a light emitting diode structure. The light emitting diode structure is formed of a group III nitride semiconductor grown on the group III nitride semiconductor substrate, and has a p-type layer, an active layer that emits a light having a wavelength in the UV region, and an n-type layer. It is preferable that the group III nitride semiconductor substrate has a principal plane of a non-polar plane or a semi-polar plane and the group III nitride semiconductor having a same plane orientation as that of the principal plane is grown on the principal plane.
