Patent ID: 8629471

Claim:
A light emitting diode, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of light emitting cells disposed on the substrate, each light emitting cell comprising a first region at a boundary of the light emitting cell and a second region opposite to the first region; a first electrode pad disposed at the first region; a second electrode pad having a linear shape and disposed to face the first electrode pad, the second electrode pad defining a peripheral region together with a boundary of the second region; a wire to connect the first electrode pad of a first light emitting cell to the second electrode pad of a second light emitting cell, wherein the first electrode pad comprises a first end disposed along a first boundary of the light emitting cell and a second end disposed along a second boundary of the light emitting cell, and wherein the second electrode pad comprises a first distal end disposed and directed towards a third boundary of the light emitting cell and a second distal end disposed and directed towards a fourth boundary of the light emitting cell, each of the first boundary, the second boundary, the third boundary, and the fourth boundary being different boundaries.
