A GaN-based LED includes: a substrate with front and back sides; an epitaxial layer formed over the front side of the substrate and including, from top down, a P-type layer, a light-emitting area, and an N-type layer; a current spreading layer formed over the P-type layer; a P electrode formed over the current spreading layer; a first reflecting layer between the current spreading layer and the epitaxial layer, disposed at a peripheral area of the epitaxial layer in a band-shaped distribution; and a second reflecting layer over the back side the substrate. The band-shaped or annular distribution can increase a probability light extraction of the LED sideways. By controlling the ratio of lights extracted upwards and sideways, the light-emitting distribution evenness can be adjusted and the uneven heat dissipation can be improved.

GaN-based LED

A GaN-based LED with a current spreading structure, the LED including a substrate, a light-emitting epitaxial layer over the substrate, and a current spreading structure over the light-emitting epitaxial layer. The current spreading structure includes a transparent electrode spreading bar, and a metal electrode spreading bar attached to the side wall of the transparent electrode spreading bar. The current spreading structure can improve the current spreading effect, reducing or eliminating of electrode shading, improving luminous efficiency of the LED, and avoid or reduce high voltage (Vf).
