Abstract
Embodiments relate to a light emitting device, a light emitting device package, and a lighting system including the same. The light emitting device includes a light emitting structure, a second electrode under the light emitting structure and an insulating layer disposed on the at least one of the protrusions. The second electrode includes a bottom member and at least one of protrusions on the bottom member that penetrates the second conductive type semiconductor layer and the active layer. The at least one of the protrusions includes an upper portion and a lower portion having different size.
Claims11
A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting structure including a first conductive type semiconductor layer, an active layer under the first conductive type semiconductor layer, and a second conductive type semiconductor layer under the active layer;
- a first electrode on an upper side of the light emitting structure;
- a second electrode on an underside of the light emitting structure;
- at least one cavity penetrating the second conductive type semiconductor layer and the active layer;
- and
- an insulating layer disposed on the at least one cavity,
- wherein the second electrode comprises:
- a conductive layer;
- and
- a reflective layer disposed between the insulating layer and the conductive layer,
- wherein the insulating layer and the reflective layer fully fill the cavity, and wherein the reflective layer comprises at least one protrusion in the cavity,
- wherein the at least one protrusion comprises an upper portion and a lower portion having different sizes,
- wherein the first electrode is vertically aligned with the at least one protrusion,
- wherein a top surface of the reflective layer is higher than a top surface of the active layer in a portion vertically overlapping the first electrode, and
- wherein the top surface of the reflective layer comprises a flat top surface.
