Patent ID: 8124994

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a plurality of epitaxial layers including an active layer; a reflective layer on a first side of the epitaxial layers; a layer of a conductive metal on a second side of the epitaxial layers and having a light emitting surface; a terminal comprising an array on the light emitting surface, the array being for diffusing electrical current and minimizing its effect on light output; and a second reflective layer of a same shape and dimensions as the array, the second reflective layer being beneath the array on the light emitting surface or at a bottom of a trench in the light emitting surface, the second reflective layer being for reflecting light propagated by the active layer under the array and being electrically conductive to enable electric current to pass from the array to the active layer, the second reflective layer including a diffusing surface to reflect the light propagated by the active layer at an angle other than perpendicular to the reflective layer.
