Abstract:
1. The light-emitting apparatus, comprising: a substrate; a light-emitting device on one part of the substrate and including a first semiconductor layer, a first active layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a first ohmic layer on the second semiconductor layer; a protection device on another part of the substrate and including a fourth semiconductor layer, a second active layer, a fifth semiconductor layer, and a second ohmic layer on the fifth semiconductor layer; a connecting line for electrically connecting the light-emitting device with the protection device; a first bonding pad on the second ohmic layer; a second bonding pad on the fourth semiconductor layer; and a passivation layer in a boundary region between the light-emitting device and the protection device, wherein the first semiconductor layer and the fourth semiconductor layer are first conductive type semiconductor layers, and the second semiconductor layer and the fifth semiconductor layer are second conductive type semiconductor layers, wherein the connecting line includes: wherein the light-emitting apparatus does not include a bonding pad on the light-emitting device, wherein the light-emitting device comprises a third semiconductor layer on the second semiconductor layer, and the protection device comprises a sixth semiconductor layer on the fifth semiconductor layer, and wherein the third semiconductor layer and the sixth semiconductor layer are the first conductive type semiconductor layers same as the first semiconductor layer and the fourth semiconductor layer.
