Abstract

An image display element, provided with a pixel region and a connection region, includes a light-emitting unit and a driving circuit substrate. The light-emitting unit includes a semiconductor layer obtained by layering a second conductive layer, a light-emitting layer, and a first conductive layer, mesa shapes formed by dividing the semiconductor layer, and a step portion separated from the mesa shapes by a groove. A first electrode is connected to the first conductive layer and a first driving electrode. The light-emitting unit further includes, between the mesa shapes adjacent to each other, a wiring line layer forming a conductive path, the wiring line layer being thinner than a layer thickness of a portion of each of the mesa shapes in the semiconductor layer. The wiring line layer extends to a top of the step portion and is connected to a common second electrode provided on the step portion.
