A light-emitting device operating on a high drive voltage and a small
drive current. LEDs (1) are two-dimensionally formed on an insulating
substrate (10) of e.g., sapphire monolithically and connected in series
to form an LED array. Two such LED arrays are connected to electrodes
(32) in inverse parallel. Air-bridge wiring (28) is formed between the
LEDs (1) and between the LEDs (1) and electrodes (32). The LED arrays are
arranged zigzag to form a plurality of LEDs (1) to produce a high drive
voltage and a small drive current. Two LED arrays are connected in
inverse parallel, and therefore an AC power supply can be used as the
power supply.
