Patent ID: 7847305

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of transistors formed on the substrate in a plurality of columns, each transistor having a first conductivity type region and second conductivity type regions provided on both sides thereof in a column direction and having an active layer in each second conductivity region on the side of the substrate, the transistors being so arranged that the first conductivity type region of the first column is opposed to a space between transistors adjacent to each other in the second column in a direction orthogonal to the column direction, and the first conductivity type region of the second column is opposed to a space between transistors adjacent to each other in the first column in the direction orthogonal to the column direction; a first wire electrically connecting the second conductivity type region on a first side in the column direction of the transistor arranged on a first column, the second conductivity type region on a second side in the column direction of the transistor adjacent to this transistor on the first side in the column direction and the first conductivity type region of the transistor arranged on a second column between two columns adjacent to each other; and a second wire electrically connecting the second conductivity type region on the first side in the column direction of the transistor arranged on the second column, the second conductivity type region on the second side in the column direction of the transistor adjacent to this transistor on the first side in the column direction and the first conductivity type region of the transistor arranged on the first column between the two columns.
