ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor light emitting device gives a large radiation surface with an enhanced light radiating capability. A N-type GaN layer and a P-type GaN layer are stacked to define therebetween an interface where a light is generated upon application of voltage across the interface. A light guide on which the GaN layers are developed is utilized to give a wide radiation surface from which the light is given off. The radiation surface is formed with a refractor layer composed of an array of a first medium and a second medium which have individual refraction indexes different from each other and are arranged alternately across the radiation surface. Thus, the light guide can be best utilized to give a large radiation surface, yet formed with the refractor layer which reduces multiple reflections inside of the light guide for effectively passing or radiating the light transmitted through the light guide.
