    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To emit an ultraviolet or blue light which can be converted efficiently into a visible light by applying a photoluminescence, in the form of an organic layer, onto an electroluminescence principally comprising inorganic GaN. SOLUTION: Al is deposited on a sapphire substrate 21 and subjected to a flow of excited nitrogen atoms and molecules in order to grow an AlN nucleus formation layer before Ga and Si are deposited thermally and an Si doped n-type GaN layer 12 is grown. Subsequently, Mg is deposited thermally and an Mg doped p-type GaN layer 14 is grown. Thereafter, an electric contact 16 to the p-type GaN layer 14 is formed by electron beam vacuum deposition of Ni/Au/Al and a part of the device structure is removed by etching thus exposing an n-type doped region 12 for second electric contact 18. Finally, the device is placed in a vacuum chamber and applied with a thin layer 20 of color conversion organic substance, i.e., Alq3 , by thermal deposition.
