A GaN-based LED element having a double heterostructure, which includes a GaN layer and the like and is formed on a sapphire substrate, is mounted face-down on a Si diode element formed in a silicon substrate. Electrical connections are provided via Au microbumps and between a p-side electrode of the GaN-based LED element and an n-side electrode of the Si diode element and between an n-side electrode of the GaN-based LED element and a p-side electrode of the Si diode element The Si diode element functions to protect the LED element from an electrostatic destruction. The Si diode element has a backside electrode connected to a leadframe . The p-side electrode of the Si diode element has a bonding pad portion connected to a leadframe via an Au wire
