Disclosed are a light emitting device and a method of fabricating the same. The light emitting device includes a substrate; first and second light emitting cells, each including a first conductive type upper semiconductor layer, an active layer, a second conductive type lower semiconductor layer, and a hole formed through the second conductive type lower semiconductor layer and the active layer to expose the first conductive type upper semiconductor layer; and a connector located between the first and second light emitting cells and the substrate and electrically connecting the first and second light emitting cells to each other. The holes are located at central regions of the first and second light emitting cells, respectively, and the connector electrically connects the second conductive type lower semiconductor layer of the first light emitting cell to the first conductive type upper semiconductor layer exposed in the hole of the second light emitting cell. Since the connector is located between the substrate and the light emitting cells, it is possible to prevent loss of light by the connector. Further, since the holes are located at the central region of the light emitting cells, the connector can be connected to the first conductive type upper semiconductor layer at the central region, thereby allowing current spreading over a wide area of the light emitting cells.
