- the longest wire among the multiple outer wires 130P is longer than the second shortest wire among the multiple second inner wires 120P.
- the length of the longest wire among the multiple outer wires 130P is equal to the length of the third shortest wire among the multiple second inner wires 120P. Therefore, in a planar view, the longest wire among the multiple outer wires 130P is shorter than the longest wire among the multiple second inner wires 120P. In one example, the total length of the multiple outer wires 130P in a planar view is shorter than the total length of the multiple second inner wires 120P in a planar view. Since there are the same number of outer wires 130P and second inner wires 120P, it can be said that the average length of the multiple outer wires 130P in a planar view is shorter than the average length of the multiple second inner wires 120P in a planar view.
- the relationship between the average length of the multiple outer wires 130P in a planar view and the average length of the multiple second inner wires 120P in a planar view can be changed as desired. For example, by adjusting the positions of the board-side joints 122 of the multiple second inner wires 120P, the average length of the multiple outer wires 130P in a planar view and the average length of the multiple second inner wires 120P in a planar view can be made approximately equal.
- the multiple element-side joints 131 are aligned in the X direction, while the multiple board-side joints 132 are spaced apart in the X direction. Therefore, in a plan view, the spacing between adjacent outer wires 130P becomes wider from the element-side joints 131 toward the board-side joints 132.
- the maximum spacing G3 between adjacent wires 130P is wider than the maximum spacing G1 between adjacent wires 110P. In a plan view, the maximum spacing G3 is wider than the maximum spacing G2 between adjacent wires 120P. In a plan view, the maximum spacing G3 is wider than the maximum spacing G4 between adjacent wires 140P.
- the maximum spacing G3 can be defined as the maximum distance in the X direction between two adjacent outer wires 130P among the multiple outer wires 130P.
- the maximum spacing G3 in a plan view, is the center-to-center distance between the substrate-side joints 132 of the two outer wires 130P that are closest to the first substrate side surface 23 among the multiple outer wires 130P.
- the maximum spacing G1 can be defined as the maximum value of the distance in the X direction between two adjacent first inner wires 110P among the multiple first inner wires 110P.

- the distance between two adjacent end wires 140P in the Y direction among the multiple end wires 140P is equal to each other. Therefore, any one of the distances between two adjacent end wires 140P in the Y direction among the multiple end wires 140P can be set as the maximum spacing G4.
- the multiple end wires 140P are arranged at a distance from each other in the Y direction in a plan view.

- the multiple element side joints 141 are arranged in the Y direction on the end element electrode 84P. When viewed from the Y direction, the multiple element side joints 141 are arranged in positions where they overlap each other. When viewed from the Y direction, the multiple element side joints 141 are arranged with some offset from each other. The element side joint 141 closest to the third substrate side surface 25 of the multiple element side joints 141 is arranged in a position farthest from the center virtual line CL (the center of the substrate surface 21 in the X direction) of the end element electrode 84P.
- the element side joint 141 farthest from the third substrate side surface 25 of the multiple element side joints 141 is arranged in a position farthest from the center virtual line CL (the center of the substrate surface 21 in the X direction) of the end element electrode 84P.
- the arrangement direction of the multiple element side joints 141 is inclined so as to approach the fourth substrate side surface 26 as it approaches the center virtual line CL (the center of the substrate surface 21 in the X direction).
- the arrangement positions of the multiple element-side joints 141 relative to the end element electrode 84P can be changed as desired.
- the multiple board-side joints 142 are joined to the end narrow portions 34A of the end surface electrodes 34P.
- the multiple board-side joints 142 are aligned in the Y direction while being aligned with one another in the X direction.
- the width dimension of the end narrow portions 34A is slightly larger than the diameter of the board-side joints 142. In one example, the width dimension of the end narrow portions 34A is larger than the diameter of the board-side joints 142, and is not more than twice the diameter of the board-side joints 142.
- the lengths of the multiple end wires 140P in a planar view are different from one another. Note that the lengths of the multiple end wires 140P can be changed as desired, and may be, for example, equal to one another.

- the third shortest wire among the multiple outer wires 130P is longer than the longest wire among the multiple end wires 140P. Therefore, in a planar view, the longest wire among the multiple outer wires 130P is longer than the longest wire among the multiple end wires 140P.
- the total length of the multiple outer wires 130P in a planar view is longer than the total length of the multiple end wires 140P in a planar view. Since there are the same number of outer wires 130P and end wires 140P, the average length of the outer wires 130P in plan view is longer than the average length of the end wires 140P in plan view. Therefore, the average length of the end wires 140P in plan view is shorter than the average length of the first inner wires 110P in plan view, and shorter than the average length of the second inner wires 120P in plan view.

- the outer surface electrode 33PX includes an outer narrow portion 33PAX. And, a part of the substrate side joint portion 132PX of the outer wires 130PX is disposed in the outer narrow portion 33PAX. In this way, the outer wires 130PX tend to be long and are joined to the narrow portion of the outer surface electrode 33PX, so that the resistance component of the conductive path between the outer element electrode 83P and the outer through wiring 53PX becomes large.
- the substrate side joints 142PX are located near the end through wiring 54PX and in the wide portion of the end surface electrode 34PX. This reduces the resistance component of the conductive path between the end element electrode 84P and the end through wiring 54PX.

Therefore, compared to the end wires 140PX of the semiconductor light-emitting device 10X of the comparative example, the length of the multiple end wires 140P is longer, and the resistance value of the end narrow portion 34A is larger. Therefore, compared to the semiconductor light-emitting device 10X of the comparative example, the resistance component of the conductive path from the end element electrode 84P to the end through wiring 54P (hereinafter, "end conductive path of the first embodiment") is likely to be larger.
- the resistance component of the outer conductive path in the first embodiment is small, the resistance components of the first inner conductive path, the second inner conductive path, and the end conductive path in the first embodiment are large, so that the difference in resistance components of the outer conductive path, the first inner conductive path, the second inner conductive path, and the end conductive path in the first embodiment can be reduced.

This reduces the difference between the resistance component in the conductive path between the outer element electrode 83P and the outer surface electrode 33P via the outer wire 130P and the resistance component in the conductive path between the first inner element electrode 81P and the first inner surface electrode 31P via the first inner wire 110P. This reduces the variation in the pulse width of the light emitted by the end surface light emitting element 70 when a voltage is applied.
- the semiconductor light emitting device 10 comprises a substrate 20 having a substrate front surface 21 and a substrate back surface 22, an end light emitting element 70 disposed on the substrate 20 and having a plurality of light emitting portions 80A arranged in the X direction (first direction) in a plan view, a plurality of surface electrodes 30 formed on the substrate front surface 21 and disposed at a distance from one another, and a plurality of wires 100 electrically connecting the plurality of light emitting portions 80A and the plurality of surface electrodes 30.

- the outer wire 130P is joined to the outer inclined portion 33C.
- the outer inclined portion 33C is formed near the outer light-emitting portion 83A, so that the outer wire 130P that is joined to the outer inclined portion 33C among the multiple outer wires 130P is closer to the outer element electrode 83P in the X direction. Therefore, the outer wire 130P that is joined to the outer inclined portion 33C among the multiple outer wires 130P can be shortened, so that the resistance component caused by the length of this outer wire 130P can be reduced.

- the second inner wire 120P also includes a portion that is joined to the second inner surface electrode 32P farther from the second inner light-emitting portion 82A than the center in the Y direction.

This allows the difference between the resistance component of the outer wire 130P and the resistance component of the second inner wire 120P to be reduced.
- the outer surface electrode 33P includes a first outer end 33A that is an end portion closer to the outer light emitting portion 83A than the outer inclined portion 33C and has a width in the X direction wider than the outer inclined portion 33C.

According to this configuration, the outer wire 130P can be disposed closer to the center of the substrate surface 21 in the X direction. This allows the substrate-side joint 132 of the outer wire 130P and the outer element electrode 83P to be closer to each other in the X direction.
