Abstract
A light-emitting diode has: a substrate; a light-emitting layer having a first conductivity type cladding layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type cladding layer stacked sequentially on a front side of the substrate; a first current-blocking portion partially formed in the middle on the light-emitting layer; a current-conducting portion formed on the second conductivity type cladding layer and the first current-blocking portion; a lower electrode formed on the back side of the substrate, a light-reflecting layer formed between the substrate and the light-emitting layer; a partial electrode formed on the surface of the light-reflecting layer and in a portion positioned below the first current-blocking portion; and a second current-blocking portion formed over the surface of the light-reflecting layer excluding the portion in which is formed the partial electrode.
