Abstract
A light emitting diode includes a light emitting structure including first and second conductive type semiconductor layers, an active layer, a first electrode electrically connected to the first conductive type semiconductor layer, a current blocking layer disposed on a lower surface of the light emitting structure, and a second electrode electrically connected to the second conductive type semiconductor layer. The second electrode includes a first reflective metal layer adjoining the second conductive type semiconductor layer, and a second reflective metal layer covering a lower surface of the current blocking layer and a lower surface of the first reflective metal layer, and adjoining the second conductive type semiconductor layer. A contact resistance between the second reflective metal layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer is higher than a contact resistance between the first reflective metal layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer.
