Patent number: 7723736Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting device having a plurality of light emitting cells and a package having the same mounted thereon. The light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting cells which are formed on a substrate and each of which has an N-type semiconductor layer and a P-type semiconductor layer located on a portion of the N-type semiconductor layer. The plurality of light emitting cells are bonded to a submount substrate. Accordingly, heat generated from the light emitting cells can be easily dissipated, so that a thermal load on the light emitting device can be reduced. Meanwhile, since the plurality of light emitting cells are electrically connected using connection electrodes or electrode layers formed on the submount substrate, it is possible to provide light emitting cell arrays connected to each other in series.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Seoul Opto Device Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chung Hoon Lee, Lacroix Yves, Hyung Soo Yoon, Young Ju Lee
