Abstract
A light emitting element made of a group III - V compound semiconductor has a p-n junction and a hetero-junction which are identical; the mixing ratio (band gap) of a p-type layer on the light emitting side is sufficiently smaller than that of an n-type layer on the opposite side. The semiconductor light-emitting element is especially useful as a light source, for optical communications, photoexcitation, etc.
