Abstract:
1. A nitride-based semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising: a translucent base; a first conductivity type nitride-based semiconductor layer; a light-emitting layer; and a second conductivity type nitride-based semiconductor layer that are successively layered above a reflective base, the translucent base being configured so that light from the light-emitting layer is extracted from at least one side face of the translucent base after being reflected at the interface between the translucent base and the reflective base, and an upper surface of the translucent base being parallel with a lower surface of the translucent base, wherein at least a portion of a first conductivity type electrode layer is formed between said translucent base and said first conductivity type nitride-based semiconductor so that the first conductivity type electrode layer contacts the translucent base and is electrically connected to said first conductivity type nitride-based semiconductor layer, wherein said first conductivity type electrode layer includes at least one of a metal thin-film layer and a transparent conductive layer, and a second conductivity type electrode layer is electrically connected to said second conductivity type nitride-based semiconductor layer, wherein said translucent base comprises a translucent resin or SOG.
