Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) chip includes a first electrode and a second electrode. Each of the first and second electrodes includes several trunks with at least one branch extending from at least one of the trunk, and at least one conductive pad serially connecting the trunks. A distance between a distal end of the branch of the first electrode and the conductive pad of the second electrode is less than that between any of other portions of the branch of the first electrode and the conductive pad of the second electrode, to thereby avoid crowded electric current formed at the first electrode and the conductive pad of the second electrode to save power accordingly.
