Patent ID: 8592839

Claim:
A vertical light-emitting device comprising: a semiconductor layer including an active layer configured to emit light; a first electrode on a top of the semiconductor layer; a second electrode on a bottom of the semiconductor layer; and a transparent electrode on the semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer is a pattern array formed of a plurality of stacks, a space between the plurality of stacks is filled with an insulating layer, and the transparent electrode covers the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer such that a contiguous portion of the transparent electrode extends over an entire width of multiple stacks in the plurality of stacks and an entire width of multiple spaces filled with the insulating layer, wherein the transparent electrode is between the first electrode and the insulating layer, the insulating layer has a grid pattern, the first electrode is on the insulating layer and has the grid pattern, and the first electrode is substantially aligned with the insulating layer.
