Omni-directional reflector and light emitting diode adopting the same

A method of manufacturing an omni-directional reflector, the method comprising:

• providing a reflective layer;
• and
• forming a transparent conductive low-index layer on one surface of the reflective layer and including a plurality of conductive nanorods having a light transmission characteristic and electric conductivity and inclined to form a predetermined oblique angle with respect to the reflective layer, the plurality of conductive nanorods having gaps therebetween filled with air to have a smaller refractive index than that of the plurality of conductive nanorods,
• wherein the plurality of conductive nanorods are deposited on the reflective layer in an oblique direction, and a self-shadow area that a material randomly deposited in an early stage does not allow a subsequently deposited material to reach is formed in the depositing of the conductive nanorods.
