Patent ID: 8614544

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a substrate; a first substrate electrode and a second substrate electrode, both of which are disposed on the substrate; and an element having a rectangular shape, the element including a first element electrode and a second element electrode, which are formed inside an outer periphery of the element and aligned respectively with the first substrate electrode and the second substrate electrode via a heat-melted connecting material, wherein at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first substrate electrode has an identical shape to a shape of at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first element electrode, wherein at least a portion of an outer periphery of the second substrate electrode has an identical shape to a shape of at least a portion of an outer periphery of the second element electrode, wherein the first substrate electrode includes a recessed concave portion, wherein a portion of the outer periphery of the second substrate electrode extends along the recessed concave portion of the first substrate electrode, the second substrate electrode being separated from the first substrate electrode, wherein each of the first substrate electrode and the second substrate electrode includes one or more first extended sections, each extending outwardly beyond the outer periphery of the element, wherein the first substrate electrode includes at least two of the first extended sections, at least one first extended section on each of two opposing sides of the first substrate electrode, and wherein the first substrate electrode includes at least one second extended section, which is adjacent to a first extended section of the second substrate electrode, and on at least one end of the recessed concave portion, the at least one second extended section extending outwardly beyond the outer periphery of the element, and the at least one second extended section being separated from the first extended section of the second substrate electrode.
