Claim:
A light-emitting diode comprising: a substrate having a main surface; a light-emitting diode device arranged on said main surface; a translucent sealing resin portion sealing said light-emitting diode device so that said light-emitting diode device is implemented as an independent convex portion projecting from said main surface; and a reflector arranged on said main surface so as to surround an outer perimeter of said sealing resin portion with an inclined surface at a distance from the outer perimeter so that a recessed portion is defined in the reflector and the light-emitting diode is disposed in the recessed portion, wherein the translucent sealing resin portion fills the recessed portion only partially so as to leave at least part of the inclined surface of the reflector exposed, and said inclined surface comprises three portions of different angles of inclination from each other.
