Abstract

There is provided a light emitting device of a simpler structure, capable of ensuring a broad light emitting area and a high light emitting efficiency, while manufactured in a simplified and economically efficient process. The light emitting device including: a semiconductor layer; an active layer formed on the semiconductor layer, the active layer comprising at least one of a quantum well structure, a quantum dot and a quantum line; an insulating layer formed on the active layer; and a metal layer formed on the insulating layer.

Claims (12)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a substrate; and

a nanowire array formed on the substrate and having a plurality of nanowire structures,

wherein each of the nanowire structures comprises a stack having

a semiconductor layer;

an active layer formed on the semiconductor layer, the active layer comprising a quantum well structure;

an insulating layer formed on the active layer; and

a metal layer formed on the insulating layer.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor layer is formed of one of a GaN-based semiconductor, a ZnO-based semiconductor, a GaAs-based semiconductor, a GaP-based semiconductor, and a GaAsP-based semiconductor.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the active layer comprises at least one layer.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the quantum well structure is one of a single quantum well structure and a multiple quantum well structure.

5. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the semiconductor layer and the active layer comprises a group III-V compound semiconductor or a group II-VI compound semiconductor.
