<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light emitting diode that prevents reduction in a light emission area due to electrodes and electrode pads. <P>SOLUTION: The light emitting diode is composed by including: a lower semiconductor layer formed on a substrate; an upper semiconductor layer disposed on the lower semiconductor layer such that at least part of an edge region of the lower semiconductor layer is exposed; a first electrode formed on part of a region of the upper semiconductor layer via an insulating layer, the first electrode being formed for supplying current to the under semiconductor layer; a second electrode formed on the other part of the region of the upper semiconductor layer, the second electrode being formed for supplying current to the upper semiconductor layer; and an extension of the first electrode which is extended from the first electrode, and is formed such that it reaches at least part of the lower semiconductor layer exposed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
