Patent ID: 8901575

Claim:
An AC light emitting diode comprising: a substrate; bonding pads positioned on the substrate; a plurality of light emitting cells arranged in a matrix form on the substrate; and a wiring means electrically connecting the bonding pads and the plurality of light emitting cells, wherein: the wiring means includes a plurality of metal wires connecting an electrode of one of the light emitting cells with electrodes of other light emitting cells adjacent to the one of the light emitting cells; each of the plurality of light emitting cells has first and second electrodes of a P-type and an N-type; a light emitting cell adjacent to three light emitting cells among the plurality of light emitting cells has a first electrode connected to a second electrode of one of the adjacent three light emitting cells through a metal wire; and a second electrode connected to first electrodes of the others of the adjacent three light emitting cells through other two metal wires.
