LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT

摘要

A light emitting element includes a semiconductor laminate structure including a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a light emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, a part of the second semiconductor layer and the light emitting layer being removed to expose a part of the first semiconductor layer, a first reflecting layer located on the semiconductor laminate structure and including an opening, the opening being formed in the exposed part of the first semiconductor layer, a transparent wiring electrode for carrier injection into the first semiconductor layer or the second semiconductor layer through the opening, and a second reflecting layer formed on the transparent wiring electrode and covering a part of the opening so as to reflect light emitted from the light emitting layer and passing through the opening back to the first semiconductor layer.
