Abstract

A light-emitting diode device includes a substrate; a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the substrate, wherein the light-emitting units form a serially-connected array, including n adjacent light-emitting unit rows, wherein n≧5, and the light-emitting units in the same rows connect vertically and/or the light-emitting units in the same columns connect horizontally, and a connecting direction of at least three light-emitting units in two adjacent rows are the same; a plurality of conductive connecting structures connecting the plurality of light-emitting units; a first contact light-emitting unit formed on the substrate and in the first light-emitting unit row; and a second contact light-emitting unit formed on the substrate and in the n th light-emitting unit row; at least three light-emitting units in the first light-emitting unit row have a 1 st area, and at least three light-emitting units in the n th light-emitting unit row have a 2 nd area, wherein the 1 st area and the 2 nd area are not equal.

Claims (18)

1. A light-emitting diode device, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a first surface;

a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the first surface, wherein the light-emitting units form a serially-connected array, and the array comprises n adjacent light-emitting unit rows, wherein n≧5, and the light-emitting units in the same rows connect vertically and/or the light-emitting units in the same columns connect horizontally, and a connecting direction of at least three light-emitting units in two adjacent rows are the same;

a plurality of conductive connecting structures connecting the plurality of light-emitting units;

a first contact light-emitting unit formed on the first surface and in the first light-emitting unit row, and a first electrode pad formed on the first contact light-emitting unit; and

a second contact light-emitting unit formed on the first surface and in the n th light-emitting unit row, and a second electrode pad formed on the second contact light-emitting unit;

wherein at least three light-emitting units in the first light-emitting unit row have a first area, and at least three light-emitting units in the n th light-emitting unit row have a second area, wherein the first area and the second area are not equal.

2. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting units in the second light-emitting unit row to the n−1 th light-emitting unit row have a third area, and the third area and the first and/or the second area are not equal.

3. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein a connection of the light-emitting units of one light-emitting unit row in at least two adjacent light-emitting unit rows and the light-emitting units in the adjacent light-emitting unit row comprises one vertical connection and two horizontal connection.

4. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the deference between the first area and the second area is less than 20%.

5. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting unit row has α light-emitting units, and the n th light-emitting unit row has β light-emitting units, wherein α≠β.

6. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a growth substrate; the first contact light-emitting unit or the second contact light-emitting unit comprises:

a first semiconductor layer;

a second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer; and

an active layer formed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer.

7. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the first contact light-emitting unit and the second contact light-emitting unit are not formed on a diagonal of the light-emitting diode device.

8. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the first contact light-emitting unit and the second contact light-emitting unit are formed on a first side and a second side opposite to the first side of the light-emitting diode device respectively.

9. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the first contact light-emitting unit and the second contact light-emitting unit are formed on a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side of the light-emitting diode device respectively.
