Patent ID: 8017966

Claim:
A vehicular lamp comprising: a light-emitting module comprising: a semiconductor light-emitting element with a generally oblong shape having a length and a width, and having a thickness substantially less than the length and the width, and a planar electrode formed on a surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element, wherein the planar electrode is a p-type electrode, and the semiconductor light-emitting element further comprises a n-type electrode formed below and overlapping the p-type electrode in a thickness direction, wherein the planar electrode has a generally right triangular electrode portion that is defined by an oblique cut-off line on any one of four corners of the semiconductor light-emitting element, wherein the planar electrode is formed with a wire bonding portion that establishes a current-carrying connection with the generally right triangular electrode portion, and wherein a phosphor layer is formed on a portion of the surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element other than the generally right triangular electrode portion; and a lens that projects and diffuses light from the light-emitting module, wherein the lens projects and diffuses the oblique cut-off line to form an oblique light distribution cut-off line on a light distribution pattern of the vehicular lamp.
