Disclosed is a light-emitting diode, which has an infrared emission wavelength of 700 nm or more, excellent monochromatism characteristics, and high output and high efficiency and excellent humidity resistance. The light-emitting diode is provided with: a light-emitting section (7), which includes an activity layer, wherein the activity layer emits infrared light and includes a multilayer including a well layer (12) which is made from a composition expressed by the composition formula of (AlXGa1-X) As (0≦̸x≦̸1) and a barrier layer (13); a current diffusion layer (8) formed on the light-emitting section (7); and a functional substrate (3) bonded to the current diffusion layer (8). |
