Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode, and more particularly to an electrode design of a light-emitting body. [Prior Art] For high-power light-emitting diodes, current spreading capability plays an important role. Especially in the application of high-power light-emitting diodes, uneven current distribution can easily cause electrode burnout under large current density operation. Therefore, the electrode design of the light-emitting diode focuses on evenly distributing the current. In the prior art, the design of the electrode metal extension line is used to effectively spread the current evenly. However, there is a problem of tip discharge at the end of the electrode metal extension line, which is liable to cause electrostatic breakdown and cause wafer damage. Electrode Metal extension lines can effectively help the current to diffuse, but it also causes light absorption problems, which in turn causes problems of optical degradation. Therefore, the area of the metal extension wire is reduced to effectively reduce the light absorption problem. However, if the area of the electrode metal extension line is reduced, the thickness of the metal line must be increased to balance the current density, which results in higher production cost, and as the area of the electrode metal line is reduced, the problem of electrostatic breakdown and electrode burnout is even more problematic. serious. In this technical field, there is a need for an electrode design of a light-emitting diode that can effectively help current diffusion and prevent electrostatic breakdown and electrode burnout without increasing electrode area and electrode thickness. 4 201238081 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode includes a substrate, and a light-emitting diode structure is disposed on the first electrode.
