Abstract:
1. A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting structure including a first semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second semiconductor layer each formed in a first direction, the active layer provided between the second semiconductor layer and the first semiconductor layer; a first electrode adjacent the first semiconductor layer and having a first prescribed width; an insulator extending, in a second direction, from the second semiconductor layer through the active layer to the first semiconductor layer and having a second prescribed width; and a second electrode including a layer adjacent the second semiconductor layer, wherein the second electrode layer has a third prescribed width greater than the first and second prescribed widths, wherein the first electrode and the insulator overlap each other in the second direction different from the first direction, and wherein the first semiconductor layer comprises a top portion between a top surface of the insulator and the first electrode.
