Abstract

A light-emitting element, includes a substrate; a light-emitting stack formed on the substrate, including a triangular upper surface parallel to the substrate, having three sides and three vertexes; a first electrode formed on the light-emitting stack and located near a first vertex of the three vertexes of the triangular upper surface; and a second electrode formed on the light-emitting stack; including two second electrode pads respectively located near other two vertexes of the three vertexes; and a second electrode extending part extending from the second electrode pads, disposed along the three sides of the triangular upper surface.

Claims (21)

1. A light-emitting element, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting stack formed on the substrate, comprising

a triangular upper surface parallel to the substrate, having three sides and three vertexes;

a first electrode formed on the light-emitting stack and located near a first vertex of the three vertexes of the triangular upper surface; and

a second electrode formed on the light-emitting stack; comprising

two second electrode pads respectively located near other two vertexes of the three vertexes; and

a second electrode extending part extending from the second electrode pads, disposed along the three sides of the triangular upper surface.

2. The light-emitting element of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode comprises a first electrode pad near the first vertex and a first electrode extending part extending from the first electrode pad.

3. The light-emitting element of claim 2 , wherein the first electrode extending part extends towards a first side of the three sides opposite to the first vertex.

4. The light-emitting element of claim 3 , wherein the first electrode extending part divides into a plurality of first branches.

5. The light-emitting element of claim 4 , wherein the second electrode extending part comprises one or a plurality of second branches, and the plurality of first branches and the one or the plurality of second branches interdigitate with each other.

6. The light-emitting element of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting stack comprises:

a first semiconductor layer;

a second semiconductor layer; and

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

7. The light-emitting element of claim 6 , wherein the first electrode is formed on the first semiconductor layer and the second electrode is formed on the second semiconductor layer.

8. The light-emitting element of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode extending part forms a closed loop to enclose the first electrode.

9. The light-emitting element of claim 2 , wherein the second electrode extending part is disposed along the three sides to surround the first electrode extending part and stops near the first vertex to form an opening not encompassing the first electrode pad.

10. The light-emitting element of claim 4 , wherein the second electrode extending part and a portion of the first branch are parallel.

11. The light-emitting element of claim 4 , wherein the second electrode extending part and the sides of the triangular upper surface are parallel.
