Patent ID: 7943953

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a container formed of a transparent inorganic material and having a recessed opening; a light emitting chip disposed in the recessed opening of the container with a glass bonding member interposed therebetween, the light emitting chip comprising: a substrate, a first electrode which is formed on a bottom surface of the substrate, and a first conduction type layer, a light emitting layer, a second conduction type layer, and a second electrode which are all formed on a top surface of the substrate so that the first conduction type layer, light emitting layer, second conduction type layer, and second electrode are stacked on top of one another; a lid formed of a transparent inorganic material and sealing the recessed opening of the container; a first external connection conductor passing through a low wall of the container and being electrically connected to the first electrode of the light emitting chip; and a second external connection conductor passing through the lid and being electrically connected to the second electrode of the light emitting chip.
