Problems solved by technology

However, such a translucent metal electrode has a problem in that since the transmittance for light emitted from a nitride semiconductor light emitting diode device is as low as about 50%, the light output efficiency decreases and thus it is difficult to obtain high-brightness nitride semiconductor light emission. diode device
