Light-emitting module of vehicular lamp

1. A vehicular lamp comprising:

a light-emitting module comprising:

a semiconductor light-emitting element with a generally oblong shape having a length and a width, and having a thickness substantially less than the length and the width, and

a planar electrode formed on a surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element,

wherein the planar electrode is a p-type electrode, and the semiconductor light-emitting element further comprises a n-type electrode formed below and overlapping the p-type electrode in a thickness direction,

wherein the planar electrode has a generally right triangular electrode portion that is defined by an oblique cut-off line on any one of four corners of the semiconductor light-emitting element,

wherein the planar electrode is formed with a wire bonding portion that establishes a current-carrying connection with the generally right triangular electrode portion, and

wherein a phosphor layer is formed on a portion of the surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element other than the generally right triangular electrode portion; and

a lens that projects and diffuses light from the light-emitting module,

wherein the lens projects and diffuses the oblique cut-off line to form an oblique light distribution cut-off line on a light distribution pattern of the vehicular lamp.

2. The vehicular lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the generally right triangular electrode portion of the planar electrode has an acute angle that is from 15 degrees to 45 degrees.

3. The vehicular lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the planar electrode has a linear electrode portion that is

within the generally oblong shape of the semiconductor light-emitting element, and

radially extends from a hypotenuse of the generally right triangular electrode portion.
