Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the traditional LED structure, the N electrode and the P electrode are asymmetrical. The current is directed from the P electrode to the N electrode. The medium conduction is uneven, which causes the internal current of the LED to be crowded, the current dispersion of the light-emitting layer is uneven, the light-emitting area is uneven, and the luminous efficiency is affected.
