LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A light-emitting device comprising:
- a semiconductor layer including a light-emitting layer;
a recess/projection portion including recesses and projections formed in a pitch larger than a wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting layer, the recess/projection portion being formed in a whole area or a partial area of the surface of the semiconductor layer which light is emitted from; and
a reflective layer formed on an opposite surface of the semiconductor layer to the surface from which light is emitted, the reflective layer having a reflectance of 90% or more.

Abstract
A light-emitting device of the present invention includes: a semiconductor layer 1 including a light-emitting layer 12; a recess/projection portion 14 including recesses and projections formed in a pitch larger than a wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting layer 12, the recess/projection portion 14 being formed in a whole area or a partial area of the surface of the semiconductor layer which light is emitted from; and a reflective layer formed on an opposite surface of the semiconductor layer to the surface from which light is emitted, the reflective layer having a reflectance of 90% or more. According to the light-emitting device having such arrangement, the light can be emitted efficiently by synergetic effect of the reflective layer and the recess/projection portion.
