Patent ID: 7473934

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a substrate; a plurality of semiconductor blue-light emitting elements each having an epitaxial structure on the substrate; a plurality of semiconductor red-light emitting elements that have been mounted on an electrically conductive pattern provided on the substrate; and a phosphor that covers the semiconductor blue-light emitting elements and the semiconductor red-light emitting elements, wherein each semiconductor red-light emitting element has been flip-chip mounted via at least one bump, a vertical height of each semiconductor red-light emitting element from a main surface of the substrate is greater than a vertical height of each semiconductor blue-light emitting element from the main surface of the substrate, and the semiconductor red-light emitting elements and the semiconductor blue-light emitting elements are arranged in a matrix, in such a manner that each semiconductor red-light emitting element is adjacent to semiconductor blue-light emitting elements in both row and column directions, except for some of the semiconductor blue-light emitting elements which are at corners of the substrate.
