A light emitting diode includes a base, a first and second conductive members through the base and a light emitting diode chip on the base. The light emitting diode chip includes an upper surface, a bottom surface, a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall interconnect the upper surface and bottom surface. A first and second heat dissipating layers are respectively located on the first and second sidewalls. The first and second heat dissipating layers connect with the first and second conductive members, respectively. A bottom face of the chip electrically and thermally connects with the second conductive member. A gold wire electrically connects an electrode on a top face of the chip and the first heat dissipating layer.
