Abstract

A light-emitting element includes a light-emitting structure, a plurality of first contact portions disposed separately on the light-emitting structure, and a plurality of reflective portions disposed separately among the first contact portions.

Claims (23)

1. A light-emitting element, comprising:

a light-emitting structure;

a plurality of discontinuous first contact portions disposed separately on the light-emitting structure; and

a plurality of discontinuous reflective portions disposed separately among the first contact portions, wherein the first contact portions are not in direct contact with the reflective portions.

2. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising a second contact portion covering the first contact portions and the reflective portions.

3. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the first contact portions, the reflection portions are coplanar on the light-emitting structure.

4. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the first contact portion comprises semiconductor and the second contact portion comprises metal.

5. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the first contact portion comprises GaAs, AlGaAs, AlGaInP, GaN, InGaN, or MN, and the second contact portion comprises Ge, Au, Cu, Al, Ag, Cr, Pt or the alloy thereof.

6. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the width of the second contact portion to that of the first contact portion is between 1.2˜1.8.

7. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , further comprising an electrode on a side of the light-emitting structure opposite to the first contact portions and electrically coupled to the second contact portion.

8. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , wherein the second contact portion is arranged as a stripe.

9. The light-emitting element according to claim 8 , wherein the distances between the adjacent first contact portions along the stripe are in a range of 10 μm to 50 μm.

10. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising a substrate; and an insulating bonding layer attaching the light-emitting structure to the substrate.

11. The light-emitting element according to claim 2 , further comprising a conductive substrate; and a conductive bonding layer attaching the light-emitting structure to the conductive substrate.

12. The light-emitting element according to claim 11 , further comprising a reflective layer formed between the light-emitting structure and the conductive bonding layer, wherein the reflective layer and the second contact portions locate on different regions of the light-emitting structure.

13. The light-emitting element according to claim 11 , wherein the conductive bonding layer comprises metal oxide.

14. The light-emitting element according to claim 11 , wherein the conductive bonding layer comprises ITO, AZO, IZO, YZO or ZnO.

15. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising a top contact portion on a side of the light-emitting structure opposite to the first contact portion, the top contact portion comprising an extension part which is arranged as a stripe.

16. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact portion is in ohmic contact with the light-emitting structure.

17. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the reflectivity of the reflective portions is greater than that of the first contact portions.

18. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the reflective portion comprises a rectangle.

19. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein there are N first contact portions and N−1 reflective portions.

20. The light-emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising a second contact portion, wherein the first contact portions and the reflective portions are embedded in the second contact portion.
