Abstract

A light emitting diode is provided to include a first conductive-type semiconductor layer; a mesa including a second conductive-type semiconductor layer disposed on the first conductive-type semiconductor layer and an active layer interposed between the first and the second conductive-type semiconductor layers; and a first electrode disposed on the mesa, wherein the first conductive-type semiconductor layer includes a first contact region disposed around the mesa along an outer periphery of the first conductive-type semiconductor layer; and a second contact region at least partially surrounded by the mesa, the first electrode is electrically connected to at least a portion of the first contact region and at least a portion of the second contact region, and a linewidth of an adjoining region between the first contact region and the first electrode is greater than the linewidth of an adjoining region between the second contact region and the first electrode.
