However, the metal electrode has a light-blocking effect. Therefore, the light emission of a traditional vertical red light LED will be like Figure 1 As shown, it is blocked by the electrode, and its luminous distribution is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the middle part blocked by the metal electrode is darker, resulting in uneven light distribution.
[0038] Based on this, the present application hopes to provide a solution that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the details of which will be described in the subsequent embodiments.
