Abstract
This invention provides a nitride semiconductor light emitting device in which current concentration is suppressed without excessively increasing resistance at a low cost without increasing a manufacturing process. The planar shape of a mesa portion configuring a nitride semiconductor light emitting device is a shape containing a convex-shaped tip portionformed by a curved line or a plurality of straight lines and abase portioncontinuous to the convex-shaped tip portion, in which an obtuse angle is formed by adjacent two straight lines in the convex-shaped tip portion formed by the plurality of straight lines. The first electrode layerhas visible outlinesandalong a visible outlineof the mesa portion through a gapin planar view. The relationship between a gap W1 in the convex-shaped tip portionand a gap W2 in the base portionis W1>W2.
