Abstract:
1. A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting structure including a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer on the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer on the active layer; an electrode layer on the light emitting structure; a conductive support member on the electrode layer; and a channel layer between the light emitting structure and the electrode layer, wherein the conductive support member includes a center portion and a circumference portion surrounding the center portion, wherein a thickness of the circumference portion is less than a thickness of the center portion, wherein an area of a top surface of the electrode layer is greater than an area of a top surface of the second conductive semiconductor layer, wherein a width of the electrode layer is greater than a width of the second conductive semiconductor layer, wherein the channel layer is exposed from a side of the light emitting structure, and wherein a portion of the electrode layer is disposed between the channel layer and the conductive support member.
