  • Patent number: 6720584
    Abstract: In a nitride type compound semiconductor light emitting element, a phosphor layer is formed in a multilayer constituting the light emitting element. A highly-reflective layer is formed at a side plane of the light emitting element. The nitride type compound semiconductor light emitting element can emit white light or multi-colored light, and is superior in mass production and reliability. The wavelength of the emitted light can be converted into a different wavelength by the light emitting element alone.
