Abstract

A blue LED which includes a light-emitting layer having a p-n junction makes use of the superlattice structure being formed of a plurality of BP layers and Ga.sub.x Al.sub.1-x N (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1) layers which are alternately stacked, with the Ga.sub.x Al.sub.1-x N (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1) layers having a zinc blende type structure, or else makes use of a Ga.sub.x Al.sub.y B.sub.1-x-y N.sub.z P.sub.1-z (0.ltoreq.x, y, z.ltoreq.1 and x+y.ltoreq.1) mixed crystal layer having a zinc blende type crystal structure.
