Light-emitting element with cushion part

A light-emitting element comprises:

• a semiconductor light-emitting stack comprising a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer, and an active layer formed therebetween;
• a first insulating layer disposed on the second semiconductor layer;
• a first pad disposed on the first insulating layer and electrically connecting to the first semiconductor layer;
• a second pad disposed on the first insulating layer and electrically connecting to the second semiconductor layer;
• and
• a cushion part disposed on the first insulating layer, between the first pad and the second pad, devoid of covering the first pad and the second pad, and devoid of connecting to the first pad and the second pad, wherein a material of the cushion part comprises an insulating material or a transparent material;
• wherein the cushion part comprises a first top surface, one of the first pad and the second pad comprises a second top surface, the first top surface is below the second top surface in a cross-sectional view.
