  • Patent number: 9755106
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting diode (LED) having improved light extraction efficiency. The LED includes a light emitting structure positioned on a substrate and having a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer. A first electrode pad is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer. A second electrode pad is positioned on the substrate. An insulating reflective layer covers a portion of the light emitting structure, and is positioned under the second electrode pad, so that the second electrode pad is spaced apart from the light emitting structure. At least one upper extension is connected to the second electrode pad to be electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer. Further, a pattern of light extraction elements is positioned on the second semiconductor layer.

  • Publication number: 20160380157
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) includes a light-emitting structure arranged on a first surface of a substrate, the light-emitting structure including a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer; a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer interposed between the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The LED includes a first distributed Bragg reflector arranged on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface, the first distributed Bragg reflector including a first laminate structure including alternately stacked SiO2 and Nb2O5 layers. The first laminate structure of the first distributed Bragg reflector is configured to reflect at least 90% of a first wavelength range of blue light emitted from the light emitting structure.
