Patent ID: 7317211

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a light-emitting device main body having a light output surface, and a transparent electrode formed in a size larger than a size of the light output surface so as to cover the light output surface, wherein the light-emitting device main body is provided in the form of a chip that includes a plurality of semiconductor layers, wherein the transparent electrode is connected directly to a whole area of the light output surface, and wherein the transparent electrode is connected to the light output surface through a contact metal layer, wherein a size of the contact metal layer is minute relative to the size of the light output surface, wherein the light-emitting device main body is fixed to an insulation resin layer, wherein a portion of the light-emitting device main body protrudes from the insulation resin layer so as to generate a step between a surface of the insulation resin layer and the light output surface.
