Light emitting diode device having connected light emitting diode elements and method of fabricating the same

A light emitting diode device comprising:

• a substrate;
• a plurality of light emitting diode elements disposed on the substrate and including outer light emitting diode elements that include a first light emitting diode element and a second light emitting diode and are aligned along an edge of the substrate;
• and
• interconnection lines formed on the substrate to connect the light emitting diode elements in series with one another and including an interconnection line connecting the first light emitting diode element to the second light emitting diode element in series and disposed along the edge of the substrate,
• wherein each of the outer light emitting diode elements includes an inner face directed towards an adjacent light emitting diode element at a first angle with respect to a surface of the substrate and an outer face disposed adjacent the edge of the substrate and directed towards an outside of the substrate at a second angle with respect to the surface of the substrate, the first angle being less than the second angle,
• wherein at least one of the outer light emitting diode elements includes a first side surface disposed adjacent an edge of a side surface of the substrate and a second side surface disposed adjacent an edge of another side surface of the substrate.
