Patent ID: 8598615

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting structure layer comprising a first conductive type semiconductor layer, a second conductive type semiconductor layer, and an active layer between the first conductive type semiconductor layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer; a first electrode electrically connected to the first conductive type semiconductor layer; an insulating support member under the light emitting structure layer; a plurality of conductive layers between the light emitting structure layer and the insulating support member; a second electrode disposed on a top surface of one of the plurality of conductive layers and connected to the plurality of conductive layers, wherein at least one of the plurality of conductive layers has a width greater than that of the light emitting structure layer and comprises a contact part disposed further outward from a sidewall of the light emitting structure layer, wherein the second electrode is disposed further outward from a sidewall of the light emitting structure layer and is located at a higher position than a top surface of the insulating support member, and wherein the plurality of conductive layers and the second electrode are electrically connected to the second conductive type semiconductor layer.
