Patent ID: 7935974

Claim:
A white light emitting device comprising: a submount substrate having a p-side lead terminal and an n-side lead terminal formed thereon; a first light emitter including a p-type nitride semiconductor layer, a first active layer, an n-type nitride semiconductor layer and an insulating substrate stacked sequentially from bottom to top, the p-type nitride semiconductor layer connected to the p-side lead terminal and the n-type nitride semiconductor layer connected to the n-side lead terminal; a metal layer formed on a partial area of the insulating substrate; a second light emitter formed on the metal layer, bonded to a partial area of the metal layer, the second light emitter including a p-type A 1 GaInP-based semiconductor layer, a second active layer and an n-type AlGaInP-based semiconductor layer stacked sequentially; and first p- and n-electrodes connected to the p- and n-type nitride semiconductor layers of the first light emitter, respectively; a second p-electrode connected to another area of the metal layer; and a second n-electrode connected to the n-type AlGaInP-based semiconductor layer of the second light emitter.
