An LED comprises an electrode layer comprising a first a second sections electrically insulated from each other; an electrically conductive layer on the second section, an electrically conductive pole protruding from the electrically conductive layer; an LED die comprising an electrically insulating substrate on the electrically conductive layer, and a P-N junction on the electrically insulating substrate, the P-N junction comprising a first electrode and a second electrode, the electrically conductive pole extending through the electrically insulating substrate to electrically connect the first electrode to the second section; a transparent electrically conducting layer on the LED die, the transparent electrically conducting layer electrically connecting the second electrode to the first section; and an electrically insulating layer between the LED die, the electrically conductive layer, and the transparent electrically conducting layer, wherein the electrically insulating layer insulates the transparent electrically conducting layer from the electrically conductive layer and the second section.
