A method for manufacturing a light emitting diode includes providing an epitaxial wafer having a substrate and an epitaxial layer allocated on the substrate. The epitaxial layer comprises a first semiconductor layer, an active layer, a second semiconductor layer sequentially allocated, and at least one blind hole penetrating the second semiconductor layer, the active layer and inside the first semiconductor layer; then a first electrode is formed on the first semiconductor layer inside the at least one blind hole and a second electrode is formed on the second semiconductor layer; thereafter a first supporting layer is allocated on the first electrode and a second supporting layer is allocated on the second electrode.
