Patent ID: 7834370

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a mount member; and a semiconductor light emitting element on said mount member, said mount member including: a substrate; an electrode assembly on a top surface of said substrate and contacting said semiconductor light emitting element; and a reflecting member on said top surface and arranged out of contact with said semiconductor light emitting element and said electrode assembly, said electrode assembly including: an electrode; and an intervening member electrically connecting said semiconductor light emitting element and said electrode; wherein said reflecting member is made of Ag or an alloy including Ag; and said electrode is made of one of Au, Pt, Cu, Ni, Rh, and Al or an alloy including one of Au, Pt, Cu, Ni, Rh, and Al such that: when said electrode is made of Au or an alloy including Au as a main component, a wavelength of light emitted from said semiconductor light emitting element is substantially in a range of 340 nm to 800 nm inclusive; when said electrode is made of Pt or an alloy including Pt as a main component, the wavelength is substantially in a range of 350 nm to 800 nm inclusive; when said electrode is made of Cu or an alloy including Cu as a main component, the wavelength is substantially in a range of 350 nm to 800 nm inclusive; when said electrode is made of Ni or an alloy including Ni as a main component, the wavelength is substantially in a range of 340 nm to 800 nm inclusive; when said electrode is made of Rh or an alloy including Rh as a main component, the wavelength is substantially in a range of 370 nm to 800 nm inclusive; and when said electrode is made of Al or an alloy including Al as a main component, the wavelength is substantially in a range of 460 nm to 800 nm inclusive; wherein said reflecting member has spheres formed on at least part thereof, and a curvature of each of the spheres decreases as a distance from said semiconductor light emitting element increases.
