According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light emitting apparatus including: a light emitting device for emitting light; and a first lead frame and a second lead frame on which the light emitting device is mounted. In this apparatus, the light emitting device includes: a substrate which is light transmissive, the substrate defining an output surface; a semiconductor layer formed on the substrate which includes a light emitting layer made of a nitride semiconductor; a first electrode provided lower than a plane running parallel through the light emitting layer with respect to the substrate; and a second electrode provided higher than the plane running parallel through the light emitting layer with respect to the substrate; the first lead frame includes a first lead pad section to which the first electrode is connected; the second lead frame includes a second lead pad section to which the second electrode is connected; at least one of the first and second lead frames includes a die pad section on which the substrate is mounted; and the die pad section does not substantially cover the first output surface.
