An illumination device having a plurality of light emitting diodes is provided. The light emitting diode may include a plurality of semiconductor layers at least one of which has a light emitting surface which may include a rough surface pattern having a pre-determined pattern. The pre-determined pattern may include one or more impurity regions with each region having a plurality of peaks and valleys for directing the flow of current and causing an increase in the emission of light to reflect outwards from the light emitting surface while decreasing light reflected into the light emitting surface and as a result reducing the dissipation of heat. The plurality of impurity regions may be arranged such that a checkered pattern or configuration is formed by alternating the direction of the peaks and valleys in each region.
