Light emitting device and fabricating method thereof
A light emitting device includes: a substrate; a first electrode on the substrate; a metal member on the first electrode and having a cavity; a first insulating layer on the metal member and exposing the cavity therethrough; a bar-type LED having a first end portion and a second end portion; and a second electrode on the first insulating layer. The first end portion of the bar-type LED is in the cavity and electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second end portion of the bar-type LED protrudes outside of the cavity and is electrically connected to the second electrode.
1. A light emitting device comprising:
a substrate;
a first conductive line on the substrate;
a second conductive line on the substrate and spaced apart from the first conductive line;
a metal member between the first conductive line and the second conductive line, the metal member having an opening; and
a light emitting element having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion being in the opening, the second end portion protruding outside of the opening.
2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a part of the light emitting element overlaps the metal member in a direction normal to a surface of the substrate.
3. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the light emitting element is oriented at an inclined angle with respect to the surface of the substrate.
4. The light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the inclined angle of the light emitting element is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.
5. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein a width of an inside portion of the opening is greater than a width of the opening at a top surface of the metal member.
6. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein a width of the opening at a top surface of the metal member is smaller than a width of the opening at a central portion of the metal member.
7. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first electrode between the substrate and the metal member;
a first insulating layer on the metal member, the first insulating layer exposing the opening therethrough; and
a second electrode on the first insulating layer, the second electrode being connected to the second end portion of the light emitting element.
8. The light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the opening in the metal member exposes at least a portion of the first electrode.
9. The light emitting device of claim 7 , further comprising:
a connecting member between the first end portion of the light emitting element in the opening and the first electrode.
10. The light emitting device of claim 7 , further comprising:
a second insulating layer between the first insulating layer and the second electrode,
wherein the second insulating layer has a contact opening at where the second end portion of the light emitting element and the second electrode are electrically connected to each other.
11. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of light emitting elements in the opening,
wherein at least one of the light emitting elements comprises a portion protruding outside the opening.
