Abstract
A light emitting diode includes an epitaxial substrate, an active layer, a tunneling layer, a current spreading layer, and an electrode unit. The active layer includes a first conductive type film, a quantum well structure, and a second conductive type film that is made from AlInGaN, wherein 0<y<1, 0≦z<1, and 0<(y+z)≦1. The tunneling layer is stacked on the second conductive type film and is made from AlInN, wherein 0<x<1 and x>y. The tunneling layer has a band gap greater than that of the second conductive film. The current spreading layer is stacked on the tunneling layer.
