Abstract: A light emitting diode includes a semiconductor structure, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The semiconductor structure has a first surface and a second surface. The semiconductor structure includes an N-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a P-type semiconductor layer that includes a P-type contact layer, and a P-type base layer located between the P-type contact layer and the active layer. The active layer is located between the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer. The first electrode is located on the second surface of the semiconductor structure, and is electrically connected to the N-type semiconductor layer. The second electrode is located on the second surface of the semiconductor structure, and is electrically connected to the P-type semiconductor layer. A P-type dopant concentration in the P-type contact layer gradually decreases along a direction from the first surface towards the second surface.
