Abstract
A light-emitting diode includes a light-emitting structure, a first insulating layer and a first electrode layer. The first electrode layer is formed on the first insulating layer and in the first opening, and is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer through the first opening. The first electrode layer includes a first metal reflective layer and a stress adjustment layer. The first metal reflective layer in the first opening is in contact with the first semiconductor layer, and located between the first semiconductor layer and the stress adjustment layer. The first metal reflective layer and the stress adjustment layer contain a same metal element, and a content of the same metal element in the first metal reflective layer is greater than that in the stress adjustment layer.
