Patent ID: 8022418

Claim:
A composite semiconductor device, comprising: a plurality of semiconductor thin film devices, each device being a light emitting element and including a first contact region for a first electrical connection and a second contact region for a second electrical connection, the first contact region being in a light emitting region and the second contact region being in a region different from the light emitting region; a substrate on which said semiconductor thin film devices are attached such that the devices are aligned in a single row and the first contact region and the second contact region are aligned one behind the other in the single row; a first electrode connected to the first contact region, said first electrode extending beyond and away from the first contact region in a direction substantially perpendicular to and in the plane of the single row; and a second electrode connected to the second contact region, said second electrode extending beyond and away from the second contact region in a direction substantially perpendicular to and in the plane of the single row.
