Light emitting diode and horizontal light emitting device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) which comprises a light-emitting layer, an upper electrode, a lower electrode, a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third semiconductor layer, and a low refractive index dielectric layer. The upper electrode and the lower electrode are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the light-emitting layer. The first semiconductor layer is disposed between the light-emitting layer and the upper electrode. The second semiconductor layer is disposed between the light-emitting layer and the lower electrode. The third semiconductor layer is disposed between the second semiconductor layer and the lower electrode. The low refractive index dielectric layer is disposed to surround the lower electrode. The upper electrode is vertically overlapped with the lower electrode and the first semiconductor layer and the third semiconductor layer are electrically opposite to the second semiconductor layer.
