Provided are a light-emitting diode structure and a light-emitting diode manufacturing method. The light-emitting diode manufacturing method comprises the operations of:



preparing a lower substrate, which includes a substrate and a separation layer formed on the substrate, and preparing at least one semiconductor rod, which is formed on the separation layer, forming a rod structure, which includes a rod protecting layer formed on the separation layer to surround the at least one semiconductor rod and an auxiliary layer formed on at least part of the rod protecting layer and separating the rod structure from the lower substrate by removing the separation layer, and separating the at least one semiconductor rod from the rod structure.
