A light-emitting diode includes an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, a multiple quantum well, a p-type nitride semiconductor layer, a window electrode layer, a p-side electrode, and an n-side electrode, which are stacked in this order. The window electrode layer comprises an n-type single-crystalline ITO transparent film and an n-type single-crystalline ZnO transparent film. The p-type nitride semiconductor layer is in contact with the n-type single-crystalline ITO transparent film, the n-type single-crystalline ITO transparent film is in contact with the n-type single-crystalline ZnO transparent film, and the p-side electrode is in connected with the n-type single-crystalline ZnO transparent film. The n-type single-crystalline ITO transparent film contains Ga, a molar ratio of Ga/(In+Ga) being not less than 0.08 and not more than 0.5. Thickness of the n-type single-crystalline ITO transparent film is not less than 1.1 nm and not more than 55 nm.
