  • Patent number: 9362451
    Abstract: A light emitting diode is disclosed. The disclosed light emitting diode includes a light emitting structure including a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, active layer, and second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer are disposed to be adjacent to one another in a same direction. The active layer includes well and barrier layers alternately stacked at least one time. The well layer has a narrower energy bandgap than the barrier layer. The light emitting diode also includes a mask layer disposed in the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a first electrode disposed on the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and a second electrode disposed on the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer is formed with at least one recess portion.
