Abstract

An injected current restriction region for restricting an increase in defects by restricting an injected current for light emission is provided inside a ZnSe-based LED. When an end of a light transmitting Au electrode is separated from a cleavage plane, a region near the cleavage plane serves as the injected current restriction region.
