When driving current is or more than 350 mA operation current, the optical characterization and variation trend of vertical and flip-chip structure light-emitting chip (LED) of 1.16 mm GaN-based blue light chip are researched. With the increasing of the driving current value, comparing with that of vertical structure LED, the luminous flux saturation current value of flip-chip structure LED is increased 350 mA. At the condition of 1 200 mA current value, the luminous flux value is more than 25.9%, the abnormal current value of color temperature is increased 400 mA and luminous efficiency is increased 81 m/W in average. Experimental results show that flip-chip structure LED has better anti-impulse stability from high power current and optical output characterization. And the operation life of LED in application is improved effectively.
