Light emitting diode and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

A light emitting diode (LED) includes a base, an LED die grown on the base, a transparent electrically conductive layer formed on a side of the LED die, a protecting layer covering the transparent electrically conductive layer, and a phosphor layer formed on the protecting layer. Through holes extend through the phosphor layer and the protecting layer to make part of light emitted from the LED die directly traveling out from the through holes to illuminate. A method for manufacturing the LED is also provided.

1. A light emitting diode (LED) comprising:
a base; an LED die grown on the base, an N-type electrode and a P-type electrode formed on right and left ends of the LED die, respectively; a transparent electrically conductive layer only formed on a left end of a top surface of the LED die, the P-type electrode directly formed on the transparent electrically conductively layer; a protecting layer covering the transparent electrically conductive layer and lateral edges of the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode, and the protecting layer being continuous; and a phosphor layer formed on the protecting layer, only covering a part of the protecting layer located on the transparent electrically conductive layer and located between and spaced from inner sides of the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode which face to each other; wherein a plurality of through holes extends through the phosphor layer and the protecting layer to make part of light emitted from the LED die directly traveling out from the through holes to illuminate, and the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are only covered by the protecting layer.
