Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting device may include a semiconductor light emitting diode (LED) chip, a light-transmitting film on the LED chip, and a light-transmitting bonding layer between the light-transmitting film and the semiconductor LED chip. At least one of the light-transmitting film and the light-transmitting bonding layer may include a wavelength conversion material configured to convert light emitted by the semiconductor LED chip into light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the emitted light. The light-transmitting bonding layer may have a lateral inclined region extending to the lateral surface to form an inclined surface. The semiconductor light emitting device may further include a reflective packaging portion surrounding the light-transmitting bonding layer, covering the first surface such that an electrode of the LED chip is at least partially exposed. The reflective packaging portion may include a reflective material.
