Abstract

A light-emitting device is provided, including: a substrate; a reflective layer disposed on the substrate; a patterned contact layer disposed on the reflective layer; a light-emitting unit disposed on the patterned contact layer; a first electrode disposed on a top surface of the light-emitting unit; and a second electrode disposed on a bottom surface of the light-emitting unit; wherein a projection of the first electrode on the substrate and a projection of the patterned contact layer on the substrate are complementary to each other.

Claims (31)

1. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a reflective layer disposed on the substrate;

a patterned contact layer disposed on the reflective layer;

a light-emitting unit disposed on the patterned contact layer;

a first electrode disposed on an upper surface of the light-emitting unit; and

a second electrode directly disposed on a rear surface of the substrate, wherein a projection of the first electrode and a projection of the patterned contact layer on the substrate are complementary to each other, wherein a part of the reflective layer is disposed across the patterned contact layer and directly contacting the light-emitting unit.

2. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the patterned contact layer and the light-emitting unit form an ohmic contact.

3. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer and the light-emitting unit do not form an ohmic contact.

4. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting unit comprises a first type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer and a second type semiconductor layer stacked sequentially.

5. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer is a continuous layer.

6. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the reflective layer is metal.

7. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the reflective layer comprises Cu, Al, In, Ru, Sn, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ti, Pb, Ni, Cr, Mg, Pd or a combination thereof.

8. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the patterned contact layer comprises In2O3, indium tin oxide (ITO), SnO2, ZnO, aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), Cu, Al, In, Ru, Sn, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ti, Pb, Ni, Cr, Mg, Pd or a combination thereof.

9. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a bonding layer disposed between the reflective layer and the substrate.

10. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a barrier layer disposed between the bonding layer and the reflective layer.

11. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first reflective layer disposed on the substrate;

a patterned second reflective layer disposed on the first reflective layer;

a light-emitting unit disposed on the patterned second reflective layer;

a first electrode disposed on an upper surface of the light-emitting unit; and

a second electrode directly disposed on a rear surface of the substrate, wherein a projection of the first electrode and a projection of the patterned second reflective layer on the substrate are complementary to each other, wherein a part of the first reflective layer is disposed across the patterned second reflective layer and directly contacting the light-emitting unit.

12. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the patterned second reflective layer and the light-emitting unit form an ohmic contact.

13. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first reflective layer and the light-emitting unit do not form an ohmic contact.

14. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the light-emitting unit comprises a first type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer and a second type semiconductor layer stacked sequentially.

15. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first reflective layer is a continuous layer.

16. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the material of the first reflective layer is metal.

17. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the material of the first reflective layer comprises Cu, Al, In, Ru, Sn, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ti, Pb, Ni, Cr, Mg, Pd or a combination thereof.

18. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the material of the patterned second reflective layer comprises Cu, Al, In, Ru, Sn, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ti, Pb, Ni, Cr, Mg, Pd or a combination thereof.

19. The light-emitting device as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a bonding layer disposed between the first reflective layer and the substrate.
