<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid light emitting element that can be reduced in light quantity loss and efficiency drop caused when emissive light is shielded by electrodes etc., and, at the same time, can be reduced in the unevenness of illuminance distribution caused by the shadows of the electrodes etc., and to provide a projector using the element. <P>SOLUTION: The solid light emitting element 12r is provided with a light emitter 15 which is formed between a semiconductor 14n of one conductivity type and another semiconductor 14p of the other conductivity type and emits light, a first electrode 16n which supplies a current to the semiconductor 14n of one conductivity type, and a second electrode 16p which supplies a current to the semiconductor 14p of the other conductivity type and causes the light emitting surface 14a of the semiconductor 14n to emit the light. A conductive member which supplies a current to the first electrode 16n from the outside is connected to the first electrode 16n in an area which is in contact with the outer edge of the light emitting surface 14a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
