1. A light emitting device, comprising:
- a single insulating substrate comprising a first upper area, a second middle area, and a third lower area, each of the first upper area and the third lower area extending along a first direction, the second middle area being disposed between the first upper area and the third lower area in a second direction different from the first direction;
at least a first array of GaN-based light emitting elements connected in series and disposed on the single insulating substrate in the first upper area, the second middle area, and the third lower area, the first array to sequentially illuminate the first upper area in the first direction, the second middle area in the second direction, and the third lower area in the first direction; and
a second array of GaN-based light emitting elements connected in series and disposed on the single insulating substrate in the first upper area, the second middle area, and the third lower area, the second array to sequentially illuminate the third lower area in the second direction, the second middle area in the first direction, and the first upper area in the second direction.

Abstract
A light-emitting device operating on a high drive voltage and a small drive current. LEDs (1) are two-dimensionally formed on an insulating substrate (10) of e.g., sapphire monolithically and connected in series to form an LED array. Two such LED arrays are connected to electrodes (32) in inverse parallel. Air-bridge wiring (28) is formed between the LEDs (1) and between the LEDs (1) and electrodes (32). The LED arrays are arranged zigzag to form a plurality of LEDs (1) to produce a high drive voltage and a small drive current. Two LED arrays are connected in inverse parallel, and therefore an AC power supply can be used as the power supply.
