Abstract

A semiconductor light emission device includes a substrate, and semiconductor light emission elements mounted on the substrate and each including an anode connection pad and a cathode connection pad. At least one of the anode connection pad and the cathode connection pad has a fine shaped portion. An image formation apparatus and an image display apparatus are described using the semiconductor light emission device.

Claims (29)

1. A semiconductor light emission device, comprising:

a substrate; and

semiconductor light emission elements mounted on the substrate, each semiconductor light emission element including an anode connection pad and a cathode connection pad,

wherein one of the anode connection pad and the cathode connection pad has a fine shaped portion, and

wherein the anode connection pad and the cathode connection pad are formed above a single layer, with a first interlayer dielectric film interposed between the anode connection pad and the single layer, and without the first interlayer dielectric film interposed between the cathode connection pad and the single layer.

2. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , further comprising an anode common wiring and a cathode common wiring provided above the substrate, wherein

the anode connection pads of the semiconductor light emission elements are electrically connected with the anode common wiring by a first thin-film wiring, and

the cathode connection pads of the semiconductor light emission elements are electrically connected with the cathode common wiring by a second thin-film wiring.

3. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the fine shaped portion is formed to have one from the group of a mesh shape, a striped pattern, a diffraction pattern and a spiral shape.

4. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the one of the anode connection pad and the cathode connection pad is formed of a film deposited by metal vapor deposition or sputtering, and patterned by etching or lift-off.

5. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the semiconductor light emission element is a thin film.

6. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the semiconductor light emission element is fixed to the substrate by an intermolecular force.

7. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first thin-film wiring and the second thin-film wiring are each in a rectangular shape.

8. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first interlayer dielectric film is made of one of an inorganic dielectric film and an organic dielectric film.

9. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the fine shaped portion is processed to be finer than a connection portion connecting the fine shaped portion and the semiconductor light emission element with each other.

10. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 , wherein

the fine shaped portion formed in the one of the anode connection pad and the cathode connection pad comprises openings through which a front surface and a back surface of the one pad communicate with each other.

11. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 10 , wherein

each of the openings is in a slit shape opened to a side surface of the one pad.

12. The semiconductor light emission device according to claim 10 , wherein

each of the openings of the fine shaped portion is smaller than an opening for a connection portion connecting the fine shaped portion and the semiconductor light emission element with each other.

13. An image display apparatus, comprising the semiconductor light emission device according to claim 1 .
