Patent ID: 8546840

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting element comprising: a semiconductor layer where an n-type semiconductor layer, a light emitting layer and a p-type semiconductor layer are laminated; an n-side electrode connected to the n-type semiconductor layer; and a p-side electrode connected to the p-type semiconductor layer; when the semiconductor light emitting element is viewed from above, the n-side electrode has a n-side pad electrode and an n-side extension, the n-side extension comprises an n-side first extension extending in a straight line from the n-side pad electrode toward a p-side pad electrode and an n-side second extension extending from the n-side first extension and forming a T shape with the n-side first extension, the p-side electrode has the p-side pad electrode and a p-side extension formed so as to surround the n-side electrode, the p-side extension comprises an p-side first extension extending from the p-side pad electrode parallel to the n-side second extension.
