A polarized white light emitting diode provides a polarized white light to decrease glare, and increase the extinction ratio. A LED chip is disposed in a cavity between a reflection substrate and a metallic wire-grid polarizing layer, and emits a first color light. The metallic wire-grid polarizing layer is disposed under and in contact with a transparent substrate. A phosphor layer covers over the LED chip, and is disposed in the cavity with an air gap between the phosphor layer and the metallic wire-grid polarizing layer. A second color light is generated by the first color light. The metallic wire-grid polarizing layer multiply reflects a portion of first color light in plural directions in the cavity to produce secondary excitations. The polarized white light transmits through the metallic wire-grid polarizing layer by mixing a portion of first color light with the second color light excited by the first color light.
