Light emitting assembly with raised adhesive layer

A light emitting apparatus, comprising:

• a circuit board;
• and
• a light emitting assembly including
• a substrate;
• an adhesive layer disposed on said substrate in a first direction, wherein said adhesive layer has a base portion and a plurality of protrusions that are disposed on said base portion and that are spaced apart from each other;
• a plurality of light emitting units that are disposed on said adhesive layer opposite to said substrate in the first direction, each of said light emitting units including a first-type semiconductor layer, a second-type semiconductor layer, an active layer that is disposed between said first-type and second-type semiconductor layers, a first electrode that is electrically connected to said first-type semiconductor layer, and a second electrode that is electrically connected to said second-type semiconductor layer;
• and
• a protective layer connected between said adhesive layer and said light emitting units, and having a Shore A hardness greater than that of said adhesive layer,
• wherein said light emitting units are electrically connected to said circuit board.
