Abstract
In some embodiments, a light source including a first electrode that includes a projection and a depression, a second electrode including a projection and a depression, an insulating layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a light-emitting element straddling the insulating layer and disposed on the projection of the first electrode and on the projection of the second electrode. In other embodiments, a lighting device including a base that includes a first terminal and a second terminal that are configured to be electrically connected to the light source to supply current to the light-emitting element. In some embodiments, the lighting device is a lighting bulb, and in other embodiments, the lighting device is tube-shaped.
