Light emitting diode having electrode pads

A light emitting diode, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a first conductive type semiconductor layer arranged on the substrate;
• a mesa arranged on the first conductive type semiconductor layer and comprising a second conductive type semiconductor layer and an active layer between the first conductive type semiconductor layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer;
• a transparent electrode disposed on and in contact with the second conductive type semiconductor layer;
• a first electrode pad electrically connected to the first conductive type semiconductor layer;
• an insulation layer covering the transparent electrode layer and an upper surface and side surfaces of the mesa, the insulation layer comprising an opening disposed above the transparent electrode layer;
• a second electrode pad disposed on the insulation layer;
• an upper extension disposed on and contacting the transparent electrode layer;
• and
• a connector connecting the second electrode pad to the upper extension,
• wherein the side surfaces of the mesa have a degree of inclination in the range of 30-70 degrees relative to a plane of the substrate.
