A light-emitting element is provided having a layered structure composed of at
least a light-emitting layer having a light-emitting region and a reflective layer
for reflecting light emitted from the light-emitting region. Light emitted from
the light-emitting region is extracted from a light-extracting surface distanced
from the light-emitting region. A light-scattering portion is present in a part
of the reflective layer.
