Semiconductor light emitting element

摘要

A semiconductor light emitting element includes: a semiconductor layer (2); first electrodes (3) arranged in a staggered array on an upper surface of the semiconductor layer; and a second electrode (4) on a lower surface of the semiconductor layer. Each first electrode includes an external connection (3a), a first elongated portion (3b) which extends from the external connection toward a central region of the upper surface of the semiconductor layer, and a second elongated portion (3c) which extends from the external connection to a near-edge region of the semiconductor layer. In addition, the first electrodes are arrayed so that a near-tip part of the first elongated portion of each first electrode is opposed to a near-tip part of the first elongated portion of each of an adjacent one or ones of the first electrodes in a direction in which the first electrodes arranged, on the central region of the semiconductor layer.
