Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The light emitting device includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer and an active layer provided between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. A first light extraction layer is provided on the first semiconductor layer and includes a nitride semiconductor layer. The first light extraction layer includes a plurality of first layers. The refractive indexes of the first layers decrease with increasing distance from the first semiconductor layer.
