Patent ID: 8860294

Claim:
A light emitting element, having a lamination structure including a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer with a light emitting layer interposed between them; a groove structure in which the second conductive layer and the light emitting layer are divided into large and small two parts; a second conductive electrode pad that is electrically connected to the second conductive layer on the divided layer second conductive layer, a first conductive electrode pad on the divided smaller second conductive layer, and two or more electrical contacts connected to the first conductive layer so as to be independent from each other, by a conductive wiring extending to the first conductive layer, with the first conductive electrode pad as a start point, wherein the X of the first conductive electrode pads and the number Y of the second conductive electrode pads have a relation of X<Y and X+Y≧3, wherein a height from a bottom surface of the first conductive layer to an upper surface of the second conductive electrode pad, and a height from the bottom surface of the first conductive layer to an upper surface of the first conductive electrode pad, are equal to each other.
