Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode, and more particularly to a light-emitting diode that can emit light laterally. [Prior Art] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the current light-emitting diode 1 has a structure including a plate-shaped substrate 11, an epitaxial layer coupled to the substrate 11 and capable of generating light by photoelectric effect when receiving electric energy. The unit 12, a transparent conductive layer 13, and an electrode unit 14. The dormant unit 12 is formed of a gallium nitride indium compound as a main material and is formed on the substrate 11 by epitaxy, and has a n-type cladding layer formed on the substrate 11 in terms of a semiconductor physical structure. (n-type ciadding layer), a light-emitting layer (active iaye 形成 formed on the n-type cladding layer, and a p-type cladding layer formed on the luminescent layer. The η, p The type of cladding layer forms an energy barrier with respect to the light-emitting layer and generates light by a photoelectric effect when current is passed through. Further classified by a solid structure, the epitaxial unit 12 includes a top surface formed on the substrate 11 and a top surface of the substrate 11. The bottom layer 121 corresponding to the area, and an extension structure 122 formed on the bottom layer 121. The bottom layer 12 is a flat layer connected to the substrate 11, and a portion of the top surface 123 of the bottom layer 121 is exposed to the extension Outside the structure 122, the extension structure 122 is substantially a one-layer layer body 'and has four side peripheral surfaces 124 perpendicular to the bottom layer top surface 123 and the side edges are connected to each other. Therefore, the side peripheral surface 124 of the extension structure 122 and the bottom layer top The face 123 is clamped to an angle of close to 90. 20121651 2 The transparent conductive layer 13 is formed on the extended structure 122 of the epitaxial unit 12 with a transparent and low-resistance conductive material for increasing current spreading. The electrode unit 14 includes two electrodes respectively disposed on the transparent conductive layer. The layer 13 and the first electrode 141 and the second electrode 142 of the bottom layer 121 can transmit externally supplied electric energy to the epitaxial unit 12. When electric energy is applied from the electrodes, the current is laterally diffused through the transparent conductive layer 13. The vertical flow passes through the bottom layer 12i and the extension structure 122 to generate light by the photoelectric effect, thereby causing the light-emitting diode 1 to emit light outward. Since the extension structure 122 of the epitaxial unit 12 presents a cube, that is, the sides The circumferential surface 124 is matched into a four flat plane, and the side peripheral surface 124 of the extending structure 122 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 123 of the bottom layer, so when the current passes through the epitaxial unit 12 to generate light by photoelectric effect, the portion is vertical The light traveling toward the top surface of the extending structure 122 directly passes forward to the outside, and the other portion of the light traveling toward the side peripheral surface 124 of the extending structure 122 is due to the outside. The influence of the incident angle at the interface is totally reflected back into the inside of the component, and it cannot be emitted outwards and forms waste heat inside the light-emitting diode It 1. The overall brightness of the component (4) is the same as that of the light-emitting body 1 The waste heat energy also shortens the life of the component. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the object is to provide a laterally light-emitting diode that emits lateral light to the component to increase the brightness of the component. The light-emitting diode of the present invention can be laterally emitted, comprising a substrate, an epitaxial unit, and an electrode unit. 201216512 The epitaxial unit can generate light by photoelectric effect when receiving electric energy, and comprises a bottom layer connected to the substrate, a bottom structure disposed on the bottom layer and extending away from the substrate, and an integral structure away from the bottom structure. a transition structure extending in the direction of the substrate, and a top structure extending integrally from the transition structure away from the substrate, the bottom structure being substantially parallel to the cross-sectional area of the substrate and increasing in a direction away from the substrate, the horizontal structure of the top structure The cross-sectional area is tapered away from the substrate. The electrode unit supplies external electric energy to the epitaxial unit to cause the epitaxial unit to emit light. The effect of the invention is to adjust the angle of the outward emission of the light generated by the epitaxial unit by using the bottom structure and the change of the cross-sectional area of the top structure to increase the refractive index of the light and reduce the light in the light-emitting diode. The waste heat generated by internal total reflection enhances the brightness of the overall forward illumination and increases the service life.

The first side is sandwiched from the top surface of the bottom layer 227 and the bottom surface of the bottom layer 222 by a predetermined acute angle. In other words, the cross-sectional area of the bottom structure 222 is gradually increased in a direction away from the substrate 21 in a substantially parallel cross-sectional area of the substrate 21. The transition structure 223 is formed on the first top surface S226 of the bottom structure 222 and covers all of the first top surface 226 such that the first top surface is not exposed. The outer portion is substantially parallel to the cross-sectional area of the substrate 21, and the cross-sectional area of the transition structure 223 is gradually decreased in a direction away from the substrate 21. The side top structure 224 is in the shape of a flat plate parallel to the substrate 21, and has a second bottom surface 228' adjacent to the base surface 21 and a second side surface 229 joined to the second bottom surface 228 by a plurality of sides. The second side faces 229 extend from the second bottom S 228 away from the transition structure 223 and are simultaneously retracted toward the inner axis γ. The cross-sectional area of the top structure 224 is gradually reduced from the direction of the substrate 21 in a substantially parallel cross-sectional area of the substrate 2i. The transparent conductive layer 25 is transparent and permeable, and is made of a material that can diffuse and circulate current, and extends from the top surface of the top junction #224 to the far side (four) substrate Μ direction. In the preferred embodiment, The transparent conductive: h is composed of a combination of indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, zinc aluminum oxide and zinc gallium oxide, and one of 201216512. The electrode element 24 includes a first electrode 241 electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer 25, and a second electrode 242 electrically connected to the bottom layer 221. The two electrodes 24 242 cooperate to supply external electric energy to the electrode The crystal unit 22' causes the epitaxial unit 22 to emit light. When electrical energy is applied from the first electrode 241 and the second electrode 该 of the electrode unit 24, a current flows laterally through the transparent conductive layer 25 and then flows vertically through the bottom structure 222, the top structure 224, and the transition structure such as Light is produced by the photoelectric effect. The generated light portion is directly emitted upward; part of the light travels toward the substrate Μ direction, and the substrate 21 is recrystallized and then emitted upward, and directly passes through the transparent light along with the light that is originally traveling in the forward direction. The conductive layer 射 is emitted upwardly and outwardly; the remaining light toward the second side surface 227 of the bottom structure 222 and the second side surface (2) of the top structure 224 are respectively smoothed toward the smooth side 227 which is retracted away from the transition structure 223, 229, limiting the critical angle of light passing through the first and second side faces 227'229, may be 9G between the side and the bottom surface of the bottom layer. The critical angle limit at the time is greatly reduced, and the lateral light can be refracted outward from the first and second side faces 227' 229. Because of &, a portion of the lateral light directly illuminates outwardly, and another portion is exposed through the substrate top surface 225 after the bottom surface 225 of the bottom structure 222 is exposed. The bottom structure 222 and the top structure 224 correct and guide the lateral light that is trapped inside the component by the structure of the current light-emitting diode to become waste heat, thereby greatly increasing the brightness of the overall component while improving Reflecting back into the component 201216512, which in turn affects the waste heat generated by the light from the light-emitting diode portion, can cause overheating of the component. 5] a second preferred embodiment of the present invention and the first preferred embodiment

The bottom layer 221 further has a branch portion 231 ′ formed on the substrate 21 and covering all the top surfaces of the substrate η and an extension 423 extending from the support portion 231 away from the substrate 21 and partially supporting the branch portion The top of 23ι is continuously exposed. The extending portion 232 has a second smooth curved surface extending from the supporting portion 231 away from the substrate 21 and gradually adjacent to the internal axis γ such that the extending portion 232 is substantially parallel to the cross section of the substrate 21. The area is gradually reduced in the direction of the substrate 21. The first smooth curved surface 230 is continuously and continuously connected to the second smooth curved surface 233. When the first electrode 241 and the second electrode 242 of the electrode unit 24 are applied with electric energy, the bottom structure 222, the top structure 224 and the transition structure 223 are partially directed toward the first smooth curved surface 230 and the second smoothing. The light of the curved surface 233 is refracted by the incident angle of the light at the different angles formed by the curved surfaces 23〇, 233, so that the lateral light has a greater probability of being emitted outwards, thereby improving the light emitting diode 2 The overall brightness of the light. Specifically, because the transition structure 223 and the top structure 224 are subjected to the exposure, development, and first etching process, then the bottom 201216512 structure 222 is subjected to a second etching process. The secondary etch process forms the bottom structure 222 and the top structure 224 in a manner that the cross-sectional area is tapered away from the transition structure 223. Therefore, the transition structure 223 that performs the first etching process first can be regarded as a mesa corresponding to the top structure 224. The bottom structure 222 that performs the second last name process is correspondingly regarded as two. Secondary platform. It is to be noted that the bottom layer 221 and the bottom structure 222 correspond to an n-type cladding layer, and the transition structure 223 corresponds to a photoelectric generation. The complex number of sub-well structures of the repair effect 'the top structure 224 corresponds to a p-type cladding layer. However, the classification of the physical structure corresponding to the physical structure is not limited thereto. For example, the n-type cladding layer may also extend to the transition structure 223, and the physical structure of the semiconductor should be adjusted according to actual needs. In summary, the cross-sectional area of the bottom structure 222 and the top structure 224 of the light-emitting diode 2 of the present invention is gradually decreased away from the transition structure 223, so that the transition structure 223 is generated by the photoelectric effect and faces the bottom structure. 222 and the light on the side of the top structure 224, after refraction and anti-reflection, can be smoothly emitted outward, thereby increasing the luminance of the component and reducing the amount of light generated due to the critical angle limitation. The waste heat energy is accumulated in (4) of the β portion of the light-emitting diode 2 to increase the life of the element, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not limited thereto; t is the scope of the invention's implementation, that is, the simple equivalent change of the scope of the invention and the description of the invention. Modifications, all still 10 201216512 are within the scope of the invention patent.
