Light-emitting diode, light-emitting diode lamp, method for manufacturing light-emitting diode

Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide a light-emitting diode that is excellent in terms of thermal radiation properties and is capable of suppressing cracks in the substrate during joining and emitting light with high luminance by applying a high voltage, a light-emitting diode lamp, and a method of manufacturing a light-emitting diode. The above object is achieved by using a light-emitting diode (1) having a heatsink substrate (5) joined to a light-emitting portion (3) including a light-emitting layer (2), in which the heatsink substrate (5) is formed by alternately laminating a first metal layer (21) and a second metal layer (22); the first metal layer (21) has a thermal conductivity of 130 W/m·K or higher and is made of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient substantially similar to the thermal expansion coefficient of a material for the light-emitting portion (3); and the second metal layer (22) is made of a material having a thermal conductivity of 230 W/m·K or higher.
