  • Patent number: 6693306
    Abstract: A structure of a light emitting diode (LED) and a method of making the same are disclosed. The present invention is suitable for the light emitting diode having the area that is larger than 100 mil2 and having the insulating substrate, and is featured in that the P electrode and the N electrode are mutually intercrossed. With the use of the present invention, the light emitted by each individual unit chip is more even; the operating voltage of the device is reduced; the cut size of the device can be enlarged arbitrarily according to the size of the unit chip; and the light emitting efficiency is increased.

  • Patent number: 6489250
    Abstract: A method for cutting Group III nitride semiconductor light emitting element comprises the step of discharge-etched on a front face of a chip or cutting channel of a substrate; and breaking on a back surface of the discharge-etching face to be formed with dies. This method is different from the prior art dicing saw and point scribe. Thus, the cutting time is shortened. The consumption of the diamond knife from cutting is reduced. The yield ratio of dies is improved and the outlook is also improved.

  • Patent number: 6380564
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device has a transparent substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, an n-type transparent electrode, a p-type transparent electrode, an n-type bonding pad, and a p-type bonding pad. The n-type semiconductor layer is disposed over the transparent substrate. The p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type transparent electrode are provided on the n-type semiconductor layer and arranged alternatively to each other, where the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type transparent electrode cover different portions of the n-type semiconductor layer respectively. The p-type transparent electrode is provided in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer. The n-type and p-type bonding pads are disposed on the n-type and p-type transparent electrodes respectively, and the areas of these bonding pads are smaller than the area of the corresponding electrodes.

  • Patent number: 5944410
    Abstract: An improved structure of a laser indicator includes an outer tube, a cover cap, a focus adjusting device, an optical lens, and a circuit board having a laser diode disposed thereon. The outer tube and the cover cap are joined to form a rod-shaped indicator housing. The optical lens and the laser diode are provided inside the focus adjusting device, which is comprised of an inner cover and an outer cover working in conjunction with a metallic spring. The laser diode is fittingly disposed inside the inner cover, while the outer cover is screwably connected to the outer cover. The spring is disposed between the inner cover and the optical lens. One end of the outer cover is screwably coupled to the cover cap, while the other end thereof forms a smooth holding surface to facilitate turning of the outer cover in focus adjustment.
