Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode (LED), comprising: a plurality of light emitting cells formed on a single substrate, each of the light emitting cells comprising a first conductive type semiconductor layer, a second conductive type semiconductor layer positioned on a first region of the first conductive type semiconductor layer, and an active layer interposed between the first and second conductive type semiconductor layers; a transparent electrode structure positioned on the second conductive type semiconductor layer of each of the light emitting cells, the transparent electrode structure comprising at least two portions completely separated from each other; and wires electrically connecting adjacent two of the light emitting cells so that each of the at least two portions of the transparent electrode structure positioned on one of the adjacent two light emitting cells is electrically connected to the first conductive type semiconductor layer of other of the adjacent two light emitting cells, wherein the at least two portions of the transparent electrode structure contact the second conductive type semiconductor layer positioned on the first region of the first conductive type semiconductor layer.
