A light-emitting device includes a conductive substrate (320), a multilayer semiconductor structure situated above the conductive substrate including a n-type doped semiconductor layer (308), a p-type doped semiconductor layer (312) situated above the n-type doped semiconductor layer (308), and a MQW active layer (310) situated between the p-type and n-type doped semiconductor layer (308,312). The multilayer semiconductor structure is divided by grooves (300) to form a plurality of independent light-emitting mesas (304,306). At least one light-emitting mesa (304,306) comprises a color conversion layer (324,326).
