A light-emitting diode and manufacturing method, including a flat portion and a mesa structure. An inclined side surface is formed by wet etching such that a cross-sectional area of the mesa structure is continuously reduced toward a top surface. A protective film covers the flat portion, the inclined side surface, and a peripheral region of the top surface of the mesa structure. The protective film includes an electrical conduction window arranged around a light emission hole and from which a compound semiconductor layer is exposed. A continuous electrode film contacts the exposed compound semiconductor layer, covers the protective film formed on the flat portion, and has the light emission hole on the top surface. A transparent conductive film is formed between a reflecting layer and the layer at a position that corresponds to the electrical conduction window and in a range surrounded by the electrical conduction window. |
