2. Description of the Related Art A light emitting device made of a nitride semiconductor is basically composed of an n-type nitride semiconductor layer (hereinafter referred to as n layer) and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer on an insulating substrate such as sapphire or spinel. (Hereinafter, referred to as p layer). In such a semiconductor light emitting device, a pair of positive and negative electrodes are formed on the same surface side.

The thus obtained nitride semiconductor light emitting device is a so-called flip-chip type in which a pair of positive and negative electrodes are formed adjacent to each other on the same surface side, and thus a short circuit may occur between the positive and negative electrodes. For example, when wire bonding is performed on the n-layer electrode, there is a problem in that if the ball shifts from the electrode and comes into contact with the p-layer, an electrical short circuit occurs.

In the light emitting device of the present invention, when the substrate side is used as the light emission observation surface, the insulating film may be formed using a non-translucent material that absorbs visible light. For example, in the case of a red light emitting element, the insulating coating is red, in the case of a blue light emitting element, the insulating coating is blue, and the insulating coating having the same color as the light emitting element is formed. When an insulating coating having the same color as the light emitting element is formed, the insulating coating serves as a filter to improve the contrast. That is, when a display is constructed, the filter absorbs external light to improve the contrast of the light emitting element. For another purpose, the emission color can be changed by coloring with different emission colors. For coloring the insulating film, for example, a technique for manufacturing artificial jewels can be applied, and specifically, if Al 2 O 3, it can be colored by mixing Cr, N, Fe, or the like.

Alternatively, in the light emitting device of the present invention, when the substrate side is used as the light emission observation surface, it is desirable that the insulating film is formed using a non-translucent material. Then, since it is possible to eliminate light leakage from the end surface of the light emitting element and from the electrode side, that is, the side opposite to the observation surface, it is possible not only to solve the problem of variation in optical characteristics of light emission from the end surface of the light emitting element, but also to prevent light emission from the light emitting element The light emission can be efficiently taken out to the observation surface side, and the emission intensity is improved. Furthermore, the contrast is improved by coloring the insulating coating in accordance with the emission color of the light emitting element so that the insulating coating absorbs the light emitted from the light emitting element.
